Five Roses All Purpose Whole Wheat Flour
Texture is the job of this bag.
Five Roses calls it an all-purpose whole wheat flour and says it can add texture to most recipes. The listed size is a 2.5 kg bag. It sits in the specialty line, apart from the bleached white.
The sustainability page says Five Roses products use 100 percent Canadian wheat. Smucker Foods of Canada bought the brand in 2007. No page names the plant grinding this sack. An 1888 mill in Keewatin is history, not a current address.
That sustainability note also says the line is non-GMO. The mill for this bag stays unnamed.

Company’s own label claim: “Five Roses products are made with 100% Canadian wheat”
Unclear where it is milled. Company notes say the wheat in Five Roses flour is grown in Canada, and an American owner took the name in 2007. This whole wheat page never names a plant.
