It catches the dough, even though I generously cover the inside with flour. I am actually not very happy with this purchase for that reason only. I do like that it is woven cotton cord. If I could return it that might be better for me. Roxane Tash Reis
I honestly don’t have words to describe how life-changing this has been.
I’m originally from India and have been living in Canada for over 15 years. During this time, I struggled a lot with what I thought was wheat intolerance. Every time I ate conventional flour, I would feel extremely bloated and often had to rush to the restroom. It got so bad that I completely stopped eating whole wheat.
But being Indian, it’s hard to stay away from roti and bread for long.
One day, I came across an article talking about how many immigrants develop gluten intolerance abroad, even though they never had issues back home. That really resonated with me, so I started digging deeper and that’s when I discovered Better Basics Milling on Instagram (thank you, algorithm!).
And honestly, it changed everything.
I can now eat wheat again without feeling bloated or uncomfortable. No more rushing to the restroom. It feels like I’ve gotten a part of my life back.
I even recommended it to a friend who was struggling with similar (even worse) issues, and she’s now completely hooked too.
I’m so, so grateful I found you guys!
By far the best tasting flour I've ever tried! I love baking with it. Would highly recommend.
Notably better taste and appreciate a healthy option for natural flour. I am also impressed with the support. I had a question about hydration and dough rise and it was responded to immediately
A successful resurrection/reactivation or whatever the technical process should be called! Sadly, although I produced a very nice loaf the maintenance of the starter was " less than ideal" and it moved on to that great bakery in the sky! Low-maintenance is, apparently, not the same as neglect!
Grear product, prompt delivery. It was fortunate that the flour was in a plastic bag, since the box was ;eft on the porch and I did not end up with wallpaper paste!
Such a wonderful way to start my sourdough journey with this flour. All my breads from the first one were great :)
Wonderful, hearty & healthy flour to bake with! A perfect replacement for ap flour in baking. Love it, just wish it was available to purchase in our town.

Love love love. Everything about this company and brand is top notch!! Bringing the basics back is bringing joy into the kitchen!
I’ve been using this flour for 2 years now and my whole family loves it!
I’ve just made a banana bread. I didn’t have any type of intolerance or any allergic reaction. I will be trying a no knead bread recipe. I’m sure this is a great purchase. I will be starting my sourdough next week.
Feel good about eating bread. All the nutrients without the bad stuff!
I love the flour very much. I make bread for my husband's sandwiches in his lunch because I want it to be healthier than the "store-bought", and he loves it! Also, it is affordable including shipping to the U.S. Thank you!
Amazing bread came from this. The sourdough starter really ate it up and it was overproofed but still it was a fantastic loaf. Excited about working with this more!
This is the flour I remember from decades ago. As a child in Saskatchewan I baked a lot. It is not overprocessed and blends well. Not floaty and clumpy in liquids. I do strain it just to break it up from settling but has produced fantastic goods!
Oh my gosh, this flour is fantastic!
I am so thrilled with my sourdough bread, discard muffins, ( bran, chocolate and banana.) The banana bread and focaccia bread are incredible also.
I order so much of the Red Fife 5 kg I seriously need to take a road trip to Better Basics facility and pick up a couple of 20 kg bags.
I switched to this flour and making my own bread a few months back. I just noticed so many GI issues with traditional bread, and the betrayal by a national 'healthy' bread being found to have glycophates just threw me over the edge. Since then, I've experienced exactly zero GI issues with my homemade bread using only this flour. I am thrilled! I am still trying to find the exact recipe that works in my bread maker without sinking, etc. but the taste is far superior to any other bread I've eaten. Love it and am a loyal fan!
