Brasetto is a European variety, Weik says, but it has been through the Canadian registration system, and was registered in July. So its been grown for several years in Western Canada just in small plots, of course but the winter survival has been every bit as good as the varieties we have here at this time, says Weik.

Its got quite a bit better bread-making qualities. Ken Mudry, manager of customer marketing at Paterson Grain, says it will be distributing seed in Manitoba. Its very limited.
