What Makes the Best Sprouted Bread Flour?

Super Sprout Product

Not all sprouted bread flours are created equal, so it’s important to know what to look for when selecting sprouted flour for baking. Sprouted wheat flour has enhanced nutritional content and flavor, making it a healthy and delicious option for baking bread. At Lindley Mills, we use a proprietary process developed by our miller, Joe Lindley, to produce our own sprouted wheat flour for baking that reaches the highest level of quality—both nutritionally and in taste tests.

Revolutionary Wheat

Over the centuries, the seeds of wheat have become the seeds of civilization. Today, the seeds of the wheat grass continue to provide more nourishment for the people of the world than any other food, and millers and scientists have continued to discover more of wheat’s remarkable attributes.

Wheat is a renewable, reliable source of food that has greatly contributed to the development of human society. The origin of the wheat plant is unknown, but as early as ten to fifteen thousand years B.C., humans were using wheat as food.

An Amateur Baker (and His Gluten Intolerant Friend's) Experience with Super Sprout™ Flour

Super Sprout Flour for Gluten Intolerance Jim Bolling from CHUBB Agribusiness recently paid a visit to Lindley Mills for a business meeting with President, Joe, Lindley. Jim is also an avid home-baker, and enjoys chatting with Joe about baking and milling. During his visit, Joe Lindley gave Jim a bag of Lindley Mills Super Sprout™ sprouted whole grain wheat flour to try out at home. Here is Jim's (and his gluten-intolerant friend's) testimonial about Super Sprout™:

At a recent business meeting with Joe Lindley, President of Lindley Mills in Graham, NC, I shared that I sometimes bake bread for friends to encourage them during difficult times, or for special occassions. I told Joe about a certain friend who had been unable to eat the bread I gave her, because of her unfavorable reactions to any gluten products. I asked him what grains he mills into flour that might be used to make bread she could eat. I was expecting him to tell me about something made with spelt or another grain with which I was unfamiliar, but was surprised to hear his enthusiastic reply about an actual wheat product. He explained that he had received glowing reports about his Super Sprout™ sprouted whole grain wheat flour, with the news that folks who can't handle gluten have eaten bread made with the flour with no repercussions.
