Traditionally bread wheats grown in the USA have been hard red genotypes. Introduction of hard white genotypes provides an opportunity for the comparison of the products and evaluation of consumer acceptance. MT 7811, a hard white wheat, and ‘Norwin’, a hard red winter wheat, were grown in adjacent plots in each of two years. Grain from each was divided, with half milled into whole wheat flour (wholemeal) and the other half milled into white flour (milled flour). Breads made from wholemeal and milled flour from each wheat genotype were tested by panelists for differences. Color differences were easily detected. The Wilcoxon‐Mann Whitney rank sums test was used to evaluate signal detection data. Both crust and crumb differences between the two wheats could be detected by some panelists. Differences could be detected between the two wheat types in either wholemeal or milled flour bread. Crust differences were often greater than crumb differences. Trained panelists commented on some bitterness in red wheat products and a sweetness in white wheat products.
