Add it to your favorite pancake, biscuit or bread recipe for added flavor and nutrition. Try making your favorite cornbread recipe with part or all corn flour instead of cornmeal. Your cornbread will be richer and less crumbly when made this way.
Our medium rye flour is a slightly darker rye, milled closer to the bran than white rye. It makes a dense, flavorful rye bread when used alone.
Semolina is the coarse, purified wheat middlings of durum wheat used in making pasta, and also used for breakfast cereals and puddings.
Giusto’s versatile High Performer High Protein Unbleached Flour is milled from the finest Spring Wheat. This is the top of the line, natural, high gluten, high protein unbleached flour that performs especially well as in bread and pizza recipes (we’ve heard it works great for for croissants and pastries too!)
Rice flour is a form of flour made from finely milled rice. It is distinct from rice starch, which is usually produced by steeping rice in lye. Rice flour may be made from either white rice or brown rice. To make the flour, the husk of rice or paddy is removed and raw rice is obtained. The raw rice is then ground to flour. Rice flour is a particularly good substitute for wheat flour, which causes irritation in the digestive systems of those who are gluten-intolerant. Rice flour is also used as a thickening agent in recipes that are refrigerated or frozen since it inhibits liquid separation.
Each part of the spelt grain contains its own unique nutrients and attributes. When the whole grain is milled into flour, the entire kernel is milled, thus the bran, germ, and endosperm contribute their nutrients and qualities, which is why spelt flour is the most naturally nutritious flour.
Spelt flour is almost always produced from the whole spelt grain. Wheat flour, however, is predominantly milled to produce more commercially appealing flour derived from only part of the wheat grain. In fact, this is why spelt flour retain its nutritional value better than that of traditional flour.
Most wheat flour producers will separate the endosperm from its germ and bran during the milling process. This type of milling results in a finer texture and longer shelf life. The downside of this additional processing, called refining, is that it reduces the nutrient quality.
