Why is this product 500% more expensive than the organic flour I buy at the store?

Hello, our flours are both organic and "sprouted." Unlike most retailers our flours are more digestible and more nutritious. Thanks, Madison S.Office Manager

Grains are not easy to digest-- that's the point of a seed, after all, to pass through te gut of birds and other creatures and sprout somewhere. These grains of wheat are sprouted before grinding, which greatly enhances their nutritional value and our ability to digest them. It is also freshly ground with each order, again enhancing nutritional value. Ground flour looses it's nutritional value very quickly, so what we buy at the store is lower in nutrients.

This is available at my local Home Depot for about half the price. You might want to read the label for yourself.

What I usually have bought is from "Bob's Mills", and he advertises that all his stuff is organic. Sometimes I make sour dough bread, but it is labor intensive for just one loaf. That is what the recipe called for, so I used it. Bread was good. Haven't used it for anything else.

I bought this flour for a gluten-free friend. Incredible. Best over all other gluten free flours I tried. I am a non-GMO believer and as a gardner know even with vegetable starts genetic modification is a problem (NOT referring to hybridization). My best reply is to keep contacting www.cup4cup.com for reply. This being said my understanding in US is that corn is genetically modified. Most soy ect. vegetable oils are gmo. Thus the labeling dispute. Making it yourself you still have to know the "source" of your ingredients" and googling sites that list products still doesn't help you if your search item isn't listed. I buy Italian farrow since it's closest to original genetic makeup on wheat. The process of researching this only seems to create more questions since the source is out of our control and dependant on the supplier. If it doesn't state non gmo then it most likely has gmo ingredients. My guess. Wish this could help. Then there is the problem that gmo or not it's still fattening :-)

I was wondering the same thing!!! I researched this model and was going to purchase it from Amazon, but heck no at this price!! It is on th Food Saver website for $200.96. There has to be a mistake, or someone is trying to rip people off!

The flour blend is totally gluten free and GMO free, but I cannot find a statement where they claim to be organic.

I'm not sure. The first time I bought this, it was 3 3 lb bags for around $18. I thought that was a good deal, that was about 6 months ago. When I tried to re-order I couldn't find that same quantity so I ordered just 1 bag. A few weeks ago I looked again for the 3 3 lb bags and couldn't find it. I too was confused by the "6 count" but they only showed 1 3 lb bag. I bought another flour, haven't tried it yet though. I would suggest you ask Amazon or the manufacturer which is what I probably should have done because I really really do like this flour. Let me know what you find out if you wouldn't mind...thanks, Diana

I believe it is the same product. It is a good quality whole wheat flour. I have been using it to bake bread and I have also used it for pancakes. Hope this helps.

I noticed that too, but the main reason I buy this product is because it is unbromated, unbleached, fresh and high quality. Organic became buzz word just like "fat free", "all natural" or "star compliant", to the point I have seen bag of potatoes with label "fat free" affixed on it. (?hmmm). Wheat will not grow just from rain water - it needs fertilizer, hopefully natural one yet does not need deadly pesticides or being genetically enhanced like some grains. How about genetically altered soybean organic milk - yes it is all organic because no bug will even wants to seat on it now. Bottom like - beware of fine print and play of words as "natural flavoring" is actually one of approved names for MSG. To me the most important is that Bob's Red Mill offers fresh and natural grains. I purchase on regular basis sunflower seed, pumpkin seed and few other products from this company and so far never had any issues with quality, taste or freshness.

No, not worth double the price when you can get them for less elsewhere. Try a search, there's one BIG retailer offering 4 of the for $22 and others offering them for $13 including shipping. The product is absolutely the best. I have over 12 of them for all my flours and other dry ingredients and they are the best! But I won't buy from amazon if they are going so stick me for double the price.

For your whole grain organic flours to keep freeze them or keep them refrigerated. Because they are "whole" grain they will go rancid if not kept fairly cool.

It is not as heavy as regular whole wheat flour so it rises better. You can read the details of how they make it so on the Great River Organic Milling website. The flour has wonderful flavor and makes great bread. I usually substitute a couple tablespoons of gluten for an equal amount of the flour when I use it in 100% whole wheat bread to insure a good rise.

it is more like whole wheat flour, heavier than regular wheat flour, somewhere in between. You need to try, it might work.

My experience is similar. Not a quality product and i do not intend to order from that company again. NuNaturals is good but they have raised the price considerably. I'm considering Now Foods organic product for my next purchase.

I have no idea. I was very happy with my purchase and was going to order a new bag in the near future. It's my go-to Bialy flour. Got sick of order 3 pound quantities of sir lancelot from King Arthur

Perhaps this may help:http://www.starwest-botanicals.com/category/nutritional-yeast-powder-flakes/Also ... some customers are receiving the NON-Organic version (mentioned no USDA label) even though the Organic was ordered ... while some are receiving the Organic ... possibly due to Amazon/vendor order misinterpretation/fulfillment?Shame the amazon ASIN/UPC #s don't match the Starwest SKU #s ...

The price here on Amazon is a HUGE MARKUP. I am a Prime member, but this price is a rip off. Better deal http://www.vitacost.com/ys-eco-bee-farms-100-organic-raw-honey
