Organic All-Purpose Red Fife Flour

Size:

Red Fife has been making a comeback in the artisan baking community and is known for its complex taste, non-hybridization, and high gluten content. It is also known to be Canada's oldest wheat variety.

We have chosen Red Fife as our All-Purpose replacement flour because it is high in protein but has slower gluten development, making it more resilient to overmixing and helping to avoid dense muffins, cakes, and breads.

Our Organic Red Fife is grown by one of our incredible farmers, Marc Loiselle, in Vonda, SK. Marc's farm is multi-generational and has been in operation for 115 years. He and his family are passionate organic farmers and take pride in the quality of their products.

Our top-quality grains are always traceable, organic and nothing is ever added.

100% stone-milled, preserving the nutritional benefits of the whole grain

  • Certified Organic by Pro-cert & 100% natural – no bleach, preservatives, additives, or synthetic vitamins.
  • Freshly milled flour goes through screens to remove some of the larger parts of the bran and germ.
  • Extraction rate: 80%, keeping most of the oil-rich, protein and vitamin-packed germ and bran intact.
  • Milled from certified organic Red Fife grown in Vonda, SK.
  • Great source of protein, thiamin (B1), niacin (B3), magnesium, copper, Vit E and iron.
  • We like to use this in muffins, cakes, quick breads, pancakes, cookies, and sauces.
  • Tailor your hydration when using this flour. Freshly milled flour can be a little thirsty.
  • Optimize freshness by storing our fresh flour in the fridge or freezer.
  • Protein content: 12.5%.
  • Always traceable to the beautiful farm in which it grew up.

I love your flour. I've been using it for a while now. My orders have been included with my daughter's order in the past. Time for me to place my own orders!! This time I ordered the bran and hoping to make rasin bran muffins. We don't eat any baked goods anymore unless we make them ourselves with your flour. Still trying to master sour dough bread! Thank you so much for all you do. Love your stories too.

This is simply the best flour ever. Period. It tastes amazing and it doesn’t make you feel sick and bloated after - like most of the flours in the US. Love this flour - customer for life!!!
