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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent flavor and texture! August 19, 2009

By John Nash

I add a tablespoon of this to my cold cereal every morning. Perfect blend of flavor and texture. Not too 'bitey', not too gritty. The flavor is not overpowering but you know it's there. Can even be eaten directly out of the bag, although I would not recommend doing it this way :-) Great as a ice-cream topping too. Shop around before purchasing though. I paid almost 50% less per 16oz pack at the supermarket, so this is not a good deal at all, unless you live in an area where it's simply not available at your local store.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to use, tastes great. June 15, 2006

By S. Lepsch

I have used this product in baked goods (healthy oatmeal - chocolate chip cookies!) and smoothies, and it is great. It's pre-ground, so you don't have to deal with finding an easy way to grind your own seeds. It tastes great, and stays fresh for a long time in a crisper.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great product ... February 1, 2009

This is the best ground flax seed that I have found. It is light with a slight nutty taste. Can be easily added to shakes, hot or cold breakfast cereals, yogurt, applesauce, salads, ... anything. I use it everyday and because it comes in a 4 pack, I shared my first order with friends to try and now we are all pleased with the product and continue to use it. Bob's Red Mill has a number of other great products that I like better than other brands ...
