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.

3.0 out of 5 stars It's pretty good for certain things May 10, 2007

This flour works fine for certain things, depending on your taste preferences. It has a very strong aftertaste (kind of bitter/sour) because of the bean flour. Thus it is pretty strong in plain breads and rolls. If you don't mind that, then good for you! (My husband is pretty sensitive and can't tolerate the bean flour or taste very well.) I found it works better in cookies, chocolate or spice cakes, brownies, banana bread, and pizza dough. Because these baked goods are made with other strong flavors, they help mellow out the bean taste which can be pretty overpowering if you don't have something with which to temper it. I like the consistency of this flour better than the rice flour blend I've also been using but again, consider your taste preferences and what you'll be baking/cooking with it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just like Mama used to make... October 23, 2006

By Jory S. Cannon

With a son recently diagnosed with Autism, I was faced with revamping his diet to a gluten-free, dairy-free diet. I tried mixing different gluten free flours (rice, potato, tapioca) myself, but it's not nearly as good as this flour blend. I really think the addition of the bean flours makes the difference. I made chocolate chip cookies (dark chocolate chips--no dairy)with it and served it to my daughter's girl scout troop, and they couldn't tell the difference. That's all the validation I needed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love this flour November 11, 2008

By K. Anderson

This is a great GF flour, use it in place of white flour. Only thing I noticed is sometimes you need to add more than a 1:1 ratio in recipes calling for wheat flour to get the stiffness you need. Also the addition of Xanthan gum makes for better consistency using this flour. The back of the packet of flour tells you how much to use depending on the type of finished product you're making. A bag of Xanthan gum is pricey, but the amounts you need (ie 1/4 tsp for each cup of flour for cookies) is minimal, so it will last for oodles of bags of this flour. I use the Bob's red mill Xanthan gum too.
