Description Grain Type: Organic Red Spring Wheat Grown in: Spalding, Saskatchewan, Canada Uses: Sourdough, yeasted breads, muffins, pancakes, cookies, pasta, quick breads Taste: Mild, naturally sweet Size: 2kg Sprouted sifted wheat flour is perfect for your everyday baking needs. It makes fluffy baked goods and high volume breads with exceptional flavour. Our sifted flour has an 80% extraction rate, meaning some larger bran pieces are sifted out for a lighter taste and texture. Why sprouted flour? Our wheat goes through a slow soaking and sprouting period to “pre-digest” the grain, then it’s carefully dried and finely milled with nothing added or removed. This ancient, natural process helps you to better digest and absorb nutrients from the wheat. It also enhances the taste by reducing bitterness (saponin) and bringing out wheat’s natural sweetness. Whole grain flours tend to be dense, but sprouting results in lighter, fluffier textured baked goods. How to use sprouted wheat flour Sprouted sifted wheat flour is a light multipurpose flour for muffins, cookies, pastries and more.
