PRODUCT STORY

Crafted with ancient grains from the mighty Himalayas, our 5 Grain Flour is a nutritious and flavourful blend that will elevate your cooking as well as baking experience. This carefully curated mix combines the best of five nutrient-dense grains, providing a unique taste and texture to your creations.

The grains are sourced directly from the farms at high altitude and are slowly ground in dedicated watermills (Gharats), which minimize heating and burning of rich antioxidants, thus retaining maximum nutrition. In a Gharat watermill, grains are ground between rotating and stationary millstones, powered by flowing water. The adjustable gap between the stones determines flour fineness. Flour is collected as it falls through holes in the stationary stone, while bran and germ are not separated. This gentle process retains grain integrity, yielding nutritious, flavourful flour.

Please note: Stone-ground flour has a shorter shelf life than commercially produced flour due to natural essential oils which may go rancid. However, this can be easily remedied by storing stone-ground flour in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer.

 Ingredients:

 Wheat, Nextamalized Corn, Buckwheat, Barley, Red Rice

Wheat (35%): Wheat is a versatile grain revered across cultures, boasting a plethora of nutritional benefits. Laden with dietary fibre, vitamins, and minerals, it supports digestive health and aids in weight management. Its adaptability in culinary endeavors—from hearty bread to delicate pastries—ensures its prominent place in global cuisines, providing sustained energy and essential nutrients for a balanced diet.

Nixtamalized Corn: Made from dried corn kernels that are cooked and soaked in a lime solution which gives it a recognisable sour flavour. Soaking corn in lime gives masa its earthy flavor and breaks down the structure of the grain so it can be made into a soft dough easily without breaking like normal corn flour. The process also adds Calcium and makes its Niacin—an essential B Vitamin—more digestible and easier to absorb, thus making it a healthier option.

Buckwheat: Buckwheat offers a wealth of health benefits, despite not being a true grain. Packed with protein, fiber, and essential nutrients like magnesium and iron, it supports heart health, aids digestion, and helps regulate blood sugar levels. Its gluten-free nature and versatility in cooking make it an excellent choice for those with dietary restrictions seeking nutritious and flavourful alternatives.

Barley: Barley is rich in fiber, vitamins, and minerals, including selenium and manganese. It supports digestive health, regulates blood sugar levels, and reduces the risk of heart disease. Its versatility in soups, salads, and as a whole grain or flour makes it a valuable addition to a balanced diet, promoting overall well-being.

Red Rice : Derived from the revered Himalayan red rice, it offers a unique blend of health benefits. Packed with antioxidants, fiber, and essential minerals like iron and zinc, it supports heart health, aids digestion, and boosts immunity. Its vibrant color and nutty flavor make it a nutritious and flavorful choice for gluten-free baking and cooking, enhancing both culinary creations and overall wellness.
