About the Brand
Bob Moore's secret to life may just be "work hard and keep it simple." Living this philosophy, Bob literally puts his nose to the grindstone every day. Bob's Red Mill Natural Foods is an Oregon-based company that utilizes simple, old-world technology to mill hundreds of all-natural whole grain products.

Bob's Red Mill is dedicated to the manufacturing of natural foods in the natural way. In their own words: "With all the sophisticated knowledge of recent times, no machinery has yet been developed that grinds grains into flour quite as well as our flint-hard quartz millstones quarried in France and used by discriminating millers since early Roman times."

"Our well-dressed (sharpened) sets of millstones turn the highest quality wheat into a finer, better baking bread flour than all the hammer mills, steel roller mills, steel buhr mills, or pulverizers ever built! These slow turning millstones grind the bran, endosperm, and germ (containing its nutritious wheat germ oil) into flour in a cool natural way, creating a more assimilable food."

Bob's Red Mill stone grinds all common and most uncommon grains into flours and meals on its over 100-year-old mills. They mix them into an astounding array of unique cereals, pancake and waffle mixes, machine and hand-made bread mixes, quick bread mixes, gluten-free mixes, and specialty grain products.

Customer Reviews

Great product -- use it to make wheat-free flour substitute!
I can't eat any kind of wheat flour, but since I discovered Almond Meal (Bob's Red Mill), my diet is much easier to live with. I use 4 parts almond meal with 4 parts garbanzo (bean) flour and 1 part potato starch (NOT potato flour)as a substitute for regular flour. I've made brownies, peanut butter cookies, banana bread, and carrot cookies and found the texture and taste are not noticeably different than the original recipe, at least to me. If you find this combination works well as a wheat-free substitute in other recipes, as in breads, pie crust, cake, or breadings, I would love to know as I haven't tried them.

Try Honeyville Grains..
This almond flour from Bobs tends to have grittiness. It's almost as if they ground up some of the shells in with the almonds. Plus there is a better deal on Amazon with the Honeyville Grains brand almond flour. It's 5 lbs insted of 4 with Bobs and it brings the final price down to around $7.40 per pound which is basically half the price you'd find this for at Whole Foods or Wild Oats. Honeyville is also better quality with no grit.

Fry that chicken!
This is wonderful on chicken! I use this product to fry chicken in and it brings a whole new meaning to fried chicken! Just use the flour as you would any other and then pan fry. Delicious!
