This class of wheat is grown in the Great Plains area of the U. S. which includes the states of Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado, Oklahoma, Texas, Montana, South Dakota and Wyoming. In 1981, it formed about 40% of total U. S. wheat production. The wheat is a strong type(gluten quality) and its flour produces good bread. Its average protein content is in the range of 12 to 13%; normally it has good test weight(75 to 77 kilograms per hectolitre) and is low in moisture content(11 to 12%). With proper conditioning it gives good milling results. The most prominent varieties of this group in 1981 were Newton, Larned, Eagle and Scout. Hard red winter wheat has no subclasses for grading purposes. It is assigned numerical grades but has somewhat higher(2 pounds for No. 1 and 1 pound for other grades) test weights. 1, record 4, English, - hard%20red%20winter%20wheat

Cette classe de blé est cultivée dans la Prairie américaine (Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado, Oklahoma, Texas, Montana, Dakota du Sud et Wyoming). En 1981, elle représentait environ 40% de la production américaine totale de blé. Ce type de blé est fort en gluten et sa farine donne un bon pain. Pour les protéines, sa teneur moyenne oscille entre 12 et 13%. Son poids spécifique est généralement bon (75 à 77 kg/hl) et sa teneur en eau est faible (11 à 12%). Conditionné convenablement, ce blé possède de bonnes qualités meunières. Les variétés les plus en évidence dans ce groupe, en 1981, étaient le Newton, le Larned, l'Eagle et le Scout (dont le Scout 66). Le blé de force rouge d'hiver n'a pas de sous-classe. On lui attribue des grades numériques, mais il a des poids spécifiques quelque peu plus élevés (2 livres pour le no 1 et 1 livre pour les autres grades). 1, record 4, French, - bl%C3%A9%20de%20force%20rouge%20d%27hiver

... When wheat is milled into flour, starch granules are subjected to physical damage and granules may be fractured, cracked, chopped or otherwise changed. As a result, normal flours may contain varying amounts of starch granules damaged to varying degrees in addition to intact starch granules. Hard wheat flours usually have much higher starch damage values than soft wheat flours. Starch granules in soft wheat endosperm are loosely bound in the kernel and easily released in milling; on the other hand, starch granules in hard wheat endosperm are firmly bound in a much stronger protein matrix and therefore more liable to damage when endosperm fragments are reduced during milling. 1, record 5, English, - hard%20wheat%20flour

[...] Lors de la mouture du blé, les granules d'amidon sont exposés à des dommages physiques et peuvent être écrasés, fêlés, fendus ou altérés de quelque façon. Conséquemment, les farines normales peuvent contenir diverses proportions de granules d'amidon plus ou moins endommagés, en plus de granules intacts. Les farines de blés de force sont généralement plus exposées à ces dommages que celles de blés tendres. Dans le cas des blés tendres, les granules d'amidon sont rattachés de façon assez lâche dans l'endosperme et facilement libérés au moment de la mouture. Par contre, dans le cas des blés de force les granules d'amidon sont retenus beaucoup plus fermement au sein de la matrice protéique et sont ainsi davantage exposés aux dommages au moment de la réduction des fragments d'endosperme par la mouture. 2, record 5, French, - farine%20de%20bl%C3%A9%20de%20force
