Description Agriculture began about 30,000 years ago, and wheat was one of the primary crops to be cultivated while transitioning from a nomadic lifestyle to more stable civilizations. Archeologists today observed from artifacts that in Neolithic times, women spent hours in a kneeled position using a stone mortar and pestle to break the wheat kernel, causing their toes, feet, and lower back to develop deformations. Today, our Organic Unbleached White Flour is a popular staple in every household used for cooking and baking purposes. White flour is made from a process that removes the bran and the germ from wheat, known as milling. In this case, “unbleached” flour is left to age naturally instead of using additives to speed up the process, making it airy and light. Our Unbleached White Flour is enriched and milled from organic hard red spring wheat kernels. It has a natural off-white colour and is recognized as premium quality wheat. This type of flour has a denser grain and thus has a good binding, perfect for all the baked goodies.
