Soft wheats have a high starch yield and a low protein content. They are grown in areas of high rainfall and lower soil fertility. Low-protein flours are used to their best advantage in biscuits, pies and cakes where tenderness is preferred over strength. Winter wheats are planted in the fall grow for a very short period of time and then become dormant. They resume growing in the Spring and are harvested in the Summer. Spring wheats are planted in the Spring and harvested in late Summer.
