Hard White Wheat from Japan
Hard white wheat offers high yield and mild flavor, used in Asian noodles, flatbreads, and white breads without bitterness. It qualifies as HTS 1001.99.00.97 'other' wheat since it's neither durum nor a specifically named common variety. Bulk imports support milling for premium flour products.
