Bread-making quality of wheat

  • 514 Accesses

Abstract

The Netherlands and Belgium together produced 2.9 Mt wheat in 1997, representing a minor fraction of the total European wheat harvest. Wheat production in both countries is very intensive, resulting in the highest average yields in Europe and in the world. On the other hand, the use of high yielding varieties in combination with a humid climate is reflected in the moderate quality of the wheat produced. Wheats from the most productive areas in Belgium and the Netherlands are among the ‘mealiest’ produced in Europe. To obtain flour that is suitable for the production of bread, flour manufacturers traditionally mix in high quality wheats of foreign origin.
