Harvesting

Organic plain flour is made from wheat grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilisers, ensuring a more natural and environmentally friendly product. Sown in autumn and harvested in the summer, the wheat undergoes milling to separate the bran and germ from the endosperm, creating fine, unbleached flour with a soft cream colour.

Naturally rich in carbohydrates, with moderate protein content and minimal fat, organic plain flour also contains essential nutrients like B vitamins, iron, and dietary fibre. This versatile ingredient is ideal for baking bread, pastries, and cakes, as well as thickening sauces and crafting delicate culinary creations, making it a staple for every kitchen.

The organic nature of Organic Plain Flour means that it is grown and harvested without the use of synthetic pesticides or fertilisers, preserving its natural composition.

Best Before

We believe in mindful consumption and want to share some insights on best before dates, especially when it comes to our dried foods. Best before dates indicate peak freshness and quality, not safety. Dried foods, such as grains and legumes, can often be safe and nutritious beyond their best before dates. They may lose a bit of their peak quality, but they remain a valuable and sustainable food source.

We encourage you to trust your senses. If stored properly and free from moisture, dried foods can maintain their safety and flavour for an extended period beyond the best before date. Embrace a less wasteful approach by exploring and using these ingredients even if they've passed their best before dates. Together, let's reduce food waste and maximise the full potential of every pantry staple.

Explore Waste Savers, where you'll find items approaching or past their best before date at reduced prices. Embrace conscious consumption, reduce food waste, and give these products a second chance. Your purchase not only saves you money but also contributes to a more sustainable and mindful approach to nourishment.

Packaging & Storage

You’ll receive your Organic Plain Flour in a compostable kraft bag (unless you chose to get a compostable resealable pouch instead). These will be fine stored in the kraft bag for an extended time although, we recommend decanting and storing them in an airtight container to maintain optimum quality. Once decanted, you can save multiple bags and return them to us for a reward.

The History of Organic Plain Flour

Organic plain flour has a rich history dating back to ancient civilisations, where grains were ground into flour using stone mills. The tradition of milling flour has been passed down through generations, with the emphasis on preserving the natural integrity of the grain. In the UK, the demand for organic products has surged in recent years, leading to the development of organic plain flour as a healthier and more sustainable alternative to conventional flour. This product is rooted in the heritage of traditional farming methods and the desire to provide consumers with a pure and unadulterated flour option, reflecting a commitment to quality and environmental stewardship.
