How Many Ingredients Can Really Be In Flour? Check Out Our Newest Video!!

When we think of flour, in our minds we think of the miller who simply grinds wheat! Don’t you??

Although it shouldn’t be more than that, flour can be so much more complicated than that!

Flour Should Be Simply Ground Wheat – Right? But it is very rarely the case! Even in the “supposed simplest form, high gluten flour is used! High gluten flour is usually either from hybridized wheat or has added gluten.

Did we mention that most bread labels have an ingredient called Gluten or Added gluten which is in addition to the high gluten flour? While this is a super important fact, there is much more to flour than you may know!

Our flour is simply Ground Wheat with NOTHING added, but what about the rest? This is why it is so important to KNOW your bakers and their ingredients!!

Did you know there are LOTS of Additives that can be added to even “Natural” flour?

• Our family does not believe in adding any synthetic vitamins, such as Niacin, Thiamine, Riboflavin, Iron, or Folic Acid. While some of these may be good in their natural form, we know they don’t belong in our ingredients in their synthetic form!!
• Fungal Amylase and Malted Barley Flour can also be added, which we WILL NOT add. Many of our customers have found they were not sensitive to wheat, but rather the Malted Barley that is added to flour. Honestly, the Malted Barley in particular, adds a lot of perfection to a loaf of bread, but we are looking for perfection in our ingredients for our health and YOURS!
• Bleaching agents such as Benzoyl Peroxide and Chlorine can be used to make white flour, but not in our flour! Our flour is completely UNBLEACHED!
• No, there is no Bromate! Potassium Bromate is used in most major bakeries as it stabilizes the loaf and makes for a larger sized loaf too! We’ll stick with natural rising! We don’t need chemicals to help us along!
• Ascorbic Acid is in almost everything, and even in flour, but not ours!

The ones we have listed today are all considered “Natural”, but we believe in going above Natural and ABOVE Organic! We could go on to mention the L-Cysteine, Calcium Peroxide, Glycerides, Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate, or even the Dough Conditioners like Azodicarbonamide that are banned in other countries.

Our family believes in eating and giving our customers only the best so you can enjoy REAL Food the Way God Intended!

Please let us know if you have any questions! We look forward to baking for you soon!
