Stone-Ground White Whole Wheat Flour

King Arthur Baking Company | United States

Price: $6.95 

For the bakers in your household or on your gift list, this unbleached white whole wheat flour is milled from regeneratively grown hard white spring wheat, a lighter-colored option that yields milder-tasting baked goods. Substituting this flour for up to a third of the white flour in recipes provides the nutrition and fiber of whole grains without compromising flavor. King Arthur Baking is committed to 100% of its flour being milled from regeneratively grown wheat by 2030, and the B Corp is making progress on this goal. This white whole wheat flour is made from identity-preserved wheat, meaning it’s grown from certified seeds, using regenerative farming practices, and is traceable from field to flour.
