Our NZ-grown Organic Reliance Wheat grain is folic acid free :)

YAY! Good news: our new season's wheat is now in stock!!! So you can order now :)

NOTE: We do NOT add synthetic man-made folic acid to our organic wheat flour - there is enough folic acid naturally occurring in the vitamin B9 in the bran and germ in the wheat grain that is retained in the flour. The NZ mandate does not include organic flour!

Is Wheat good for you?

At Organic Flour Mills we choose only organic New Zealand-grown Reliance wheat, certified BioGro. It has not been sprayed or heat treated, so it's good for sprouting. We have been to the farm where it is grown in the South Island, NZ, and can vouch for it ourselves :)

 Wheat is a very popular grain (also known as wheat seed, kernels, groats, or berries) that can be sprouted, or wheat can be cooked and eaten like rice in savoury or sweet dishes. We mill our wheat grain into flour, but we never add any synthetic man-made folic acid to it. 

So what exactly is Wheat?

Wheat’s botanical name is Triticum aestivum. Like all whole grains, the wheat kernel has 3 parts: the outer bran, the inner germ, and the endosperm layer between the bran and germ. Whole wheat contains all 3 parts of the grain, which are retained in the milled flour, unlike so-called "wholemeal" flour, which has the wheat bran and wheat germ stripped away, and a percentage added back in.

The wheat bran provides important B vitamins, essential minerals and protein.
The wheat germ provides healthy fats, vitamin E and more B vitamins.
The wheat endosperm provides carbs and additional protein. The main protein in wheat is gluten, which can cause intolerances in some people, but enables bread and baking to rise well.

 Order our organic Reliance wheat grain in 1, 2, 5, 10, 15, 20 and now 25kg bags, at Organic Flour Mills, which we ship anywhere in NZ.
