We would recommend the use of hard red spring wheat when it comes to bread baking. Hard red spring wheat has a higher gluten content than soft white winter wheat, allowing for more loaf volume potential.
The shelf life of our organic ground flours can vary depending on storage conditions and the product. We place a one-year shelf life on our stone ground flours, based on the expectation that the flour is stored in a cool dry environment free from possible infestation. To further extend the shelf life we would recommend storage in an airtight sealed container kept in the refrigerator or freezer.
The shelf life of our organic whole grains differs from flours. We place a two-year shelf life on the organic whole grain products, but if stored properly can last much longer. Again, our expectation for storage conditions of organic whole grains is a cool dry environment, free from possible infestation. To further extend the shelf life we would recommend storage in an airtight sealed container kept in the refrigerator or freezer.
For more suggestions on use of oxygen absorbers to extend freshness and storage see this resource here.
We cannot guarantee that our grains will sprout, but we have had a number of our customers express success with the whole grains we offer. Please see more about sprouting grains here.
Certified gluten free products are great for those looking for wheat free options or specifically for those that suffer from Celiac Disease. For gluten free products a new and separate facility is utilized for your safety. This new facility follows the standards of food safety testing outlined by the Allergen Control Group. This facility is mandated to follow testing protocol that ensures the gluten free products we provide meet the strict standards required for Gluten Free Certificate labeling. See more HERE.

We apologize for any confusion! Food safety is important to the team here at Great River Organic Milling, and we want to assure customers that the products provided meet the standards set by the label designation.
