Anita's Organic Mill Stone Ground Whole Wheat Flour
The stones stay cool on purpose.
Anita's stone-grinds this whole wheat so the texture stays a bit coarse. The page says a low grind temperature leaves the whole grain nutrition in the flour. Artisan bread is the use it names.
Milling and packing happen in Chilliwack, in a 34,000 square foot plant. Organic hard red wheat is the only ingredient. A 2021 trade story said the grain comes from farms across Canada.
Nature's Path holds the majority. The Canada shop lists a 1 kg bag in a 4-pack. The label may also contain barley, oats, rye, triticale and sesame.
