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.

This review is from: Bob's Red Mill Organic Flaxseed Meal, 32-Ounce Packages (Pack of 4) (Grocery)

I got a few packages of these... used some for my daughter (for the Omega-3 fatty acids, as they help with brain function... she is speech impaired) and for my grandpa (who has high blood pressure & had a stroke.)
You simply add a few spoonfuls to your oatmeal... my grandpa's cholesterol went down 50 points in one month. (None of his medication had been able to do that.)
My 5 y.o. daughter didn't notice this in her oatmeal... I tried it, and there is no added taste, just health benefits :)
Great product. We always have it at our house.

This review is from: Bob's Red Mill Organic Flaxseed Meal, 32-Ounce Packages (Pack of 4) (Grocery)

I have been using flaxseed meal over the past three years; I would use them on almost everything from salad, soup to baking good. And, among several different suppliers on the market, I like Bob's Red Mill best for its reasonable price and trusty brand name.

However, the latest batches I ordered were not nearly as good as before. They are dark, coarse (most is barely gridded), and BITTER!!!

Check if yours with sell-by date later than 10/2008.

This review is from: Bob's Red Mill Organic Flaxseed Meal, 32-Ounce Packages (Pack of 4) (Grocery)

I originally bought a bag of this at the local grocery store because of the health claims on the packaging. Since then I've bought a bunch of it from Amazon grocery.

I use it mostly on my breakfast cereal, but have also used it in baking, including the muffin recipe on the package. I can't recommend that recipe because the muffins have too much stuff in them (carrot and apple shavings, nuts, raisins, etc.) and the muffins wouldn't hold together except for the gooey consistency of the baked product. Yuck.

However, in a pizza crust it's great, adding extra flavor and texture that is both unfamiliar and satisfying. I like having taste in the pizza crust as much as in the toppings, and adding some flaxseed meal helps add flavor.

It also goes well in other baked goods, and I've used it in cookie recipes, quick breads, etc.
