Bob's Red Mill 100% Whole Grain Ivory Wheat Organic Flour
What it is
This is a finely milled flour made from 100% whole grain ivory wheat, which is an ancient grain variety. It is certified organic, meaning it was grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. The whole grain aspect means that the bran, germ, and endosperm of the wheat kernel are all included in the flour. It is a versatile ingredient for baking and cooking.
How people cook with it
This flour can be used in a variety of baked goods and savory dishes. Its whole grain nature adds a distinct flavor and texture to recipes.
- Baking breads
- Making pancakes
- Creating muffins
- Thickening sauces
When substituting this whole grain flour for refined white flour in recipes, you may need to adjust the liquid content. Whole grain flours tend to absorb more moisture. It can be used on its own for hearty breads or combined with other flours for a lighter texture in cakes and pastries. It works well in quick breads, cookies, and even as a coating for fried foods. The natural flavor of the ivory wheat will add depth to your creations.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike refined flours, this 100% whole grain flour contains all parts of the wheat kernel, offering a nuttier flavor and denser texture. Its ivory color is a natural characteristic of the specific wheat variety used.
Who it is for
Home bakers and cooks looking for whole grain options will find this flour useful.
How to keep the rest
To maintain freshness, store the flour in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. For longer storage, it can be kept in the refrigerator or freezer to prevent spoilage and preserve its quality. Ensure the container is sealed to keep out moisture and pests.
