Bleached, Kraft chemical pulp having increased hemicellulose content compared to conventional Kraft chemical pulps. In one embodiment, the pulp has a hemicellulose content greater than about 17 weight percent as measured by the 18% caustic solubility test. In another aspect, a method for making wood cellulose pulp having increased hemicellulose content compared to conventional Kraft chemical pulps. In the method, a lignocellulosic material is pulped in caustic sulfide to provide a first brownstock, which is treated with oxygen to provide a second brownstock, which is then bleached to provide the pulp product.
