Fleming Companies Inc. Sprouted Red Wheat Flour
What it is
This is a type of flour made from red wheat berries that have been allowed to sprout before being milled. The red wheat variety contributes a slightly different flavor and color compared to white wheat. This flour retains more of the whole grain's components.
How people cook with it
Sprouted red wheat flour can be used in a variety of baked goods and cooking applications. It offers a distinct flavor and texture to recipes.

When baking with sprouted red wheat flour, you may find it absorbs liquid differently than regular flour. It can sometimes create a denser texture in baked goods. Many bakers choose to use it in combination with all-purpose flour to achieve a desired result. It can be a good choice for rustic breads, hearty muffins, or even as a base for homemade pasta. Experimentation is often key to finding the perfect ratio for your favorite recipes.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to standard all-purpose flour, sprouted red wheat flour has undergone the sprouting process. This can lead to a slightly sweeter, nuttier flavor and a different texture. It also contains more of the original grain's natural components due to the sprouting and milling method.
