Description Grain Type: Organic Red Spring WheatGrown in: Spalding, Saskatchewan, CanadaUses: Sourdough, yeasted breads, muffins, pancakes, cookies, pasta, quick breadsTaste: Mild, naturally sweet Our Organic Sprouted Wheat Flour is whole grain, meaning no part of the grain is removed. This makes for fragrant, highly nutritious baked goods with exceptional flavour — this is not your average all-purpose flour. 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 flourSprouted wheat flour feels very similar to using whole grain or whole wheat flour, and works well for all your baking needs. If you’re new to baking with sprouted flour, we recommend you start here. Its high protein and gluten content also make it a great choice for bread flour. Sprouted flour tends to be thirsty, so you may need to use more liquid than you would with non-sprouted flour.
