The 'Silver' wheat variety is the result of a hybridization program that used a wheat sample obtained by crossing with the wild grass, darnel. This variety is not intended for baking purposes due to its minimal gluten content, which may be incompatible with healthy eating principles. Although the grain yield of 'Silver' is not high, its grain stands out for its elevated protein, vitamin, and mineral content, making it valuable for food applications.
This wheat variety is not genetically modified and does not belong to the GMO category, as confirmed by its official registration in the State Register of Plant Varieties of Ukraine as a food-grade wheat variety, not suitable for baking. This underscores its ecological safety and naturalness.
Wheat is generally one of the most important food crops, used for bread and other food products. However, the 'Silver' variety stands out for its unique properties, making it suitable for those seeking alternative wheat varieties with improved nutritional composition and reduced gluten content.
