FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

What makes organic wheat flour different from regular wheat flour?
The key difference is the cultivation method of the wheat grains. Organic wheat is grown without synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or genetically modified organisms, and the farming practices aim to enhance soil health. The milling process also adheres to organic standards.
Does organic wheat flour bake differently than conventional wheat flour?
Generally, organic wheat flour performs very similarly to conventional wheat flour of the same type (e.g., organic all-purpose vs. conventional all-purpose). Any subtle differences in baking might come from variations in protein content or moisture, which can occur in any batch of flour regardless of organic status.
Is organic wheat flour always whole wheat?
No, organic wheat flour is not always whole wheat. You can find organic versions of various flour types, including organic all-purpose (white) flour, organic bread flour, and organic pastry flour. The 'organic' label refers to the farming practices, not necessarily the milling process or whether the bran and germ are included.
