It is a product of organic farming practices, meaning it is grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. The flour has a distinct flavor and texture.

This flour can also be used in combination with other flours to achieve desired results. Experimentation is key to finding the perfect balance for your favorite baked goods.
