The present invention relates to Ofree, a novel wheat cultivar produced by crossing Keumkang wheat and Olgeuru wheat, in which low-molecular-weight glutenin subunit (LMW-GS) alleles located at the Glu-B3 loci (major cause of gluten intolerance) and ω-5 gliadin genes (major cause of wheat-dependent exercise-induced anaphylaxis (WDEIA)) have been deleted; a method of developing a new wheat cultivar using Ofree; wheat flour produced from Ofree; a method of producing a processed food using the wheat flour; and a processed food produced by the aforementioned production method. It is expected that Ofree provided in the present invention can be widely used for the production of processed foods capable of preventing the onset of celiac disease caused by gluten intolerance and the onset of WDEIA.
