Anyone compare this to other wholewheat brands? King Arthur? others?

They are comparable, but we find the texture a little better. We bake dairy, soy, nut free.

I've used this flour in muffins, pancakes, brownies, etc. As I write this, there is a pot of chicken and dumplings on the stove, and the dumplings are made, in part, with Great River whole wheat pastry flour. I like King Arthur flours, but I find Great River to have a better product overall.

Yes. The Great River is great for baking. I found the King Arthur a bit grainy and coarse for baking.

I actually have this and some King Arthur on my pantry shelf together right now. I might be a nut but I can tell the difference between all of my flours (KA whole wheat, KA white wheat, GR whole wheat, GR bread flour, and GR Pastry Flour) just by sight. Seeing them side by side, there is a definite visual difference. Texturally there is a huge difference as well. The Great River flour is silky and powdery while the King Arthur is coarse and grainy.

I don't know which one you are considering for half the price. I have the $30.00 one with a lifetime guarantee and it is wonderful. No spots and no melting. Several before this just melted with certain foods hitting them. For a lifetime, I think $30.00 is a good deal. GoodLuck.

Buckwheat is definitely prevalent but there is a nice vanilla-y cranberry overtone, IMHO. Try one pkg; if u rn't hooked u'll know! I ordered 1 pkg, and am now on autoship bcz we use it every day on our cereal and oatmeal. Best wishes.

I switched to raw organic Yacun by Raw Food World, much better. I had the same problem with the other brand turning into a brick

I have had Adams natural and also like it. This Teddie brand seems to me to be made with perhaps higher quality, or at least different peanuts. Perhaps it's just Virginia vs. Redskins or something like that. So far the Teddie brand delivered to me on 3 orders has been fresher than what you would usually find in a grocery, so easier to stir. I still prefer local freshly ground peanuts to any in a jar.

I buy mine @ Wal-mart, they all seem about the same, it is the quantity you take that matters. Just because it costs more, doesn't necessarily mean it is better. I'm sorry, I can't really rate one over the other. I take 2 capsules 3x a day of the triple strength I buy @ Wal-mart along with the milled flaxseed I get in the flour section & I have minimal knee & joint pain.

I found Organo Gold Cafe Supreme more on the McCafe for taste comparatively; definitely enjoyed it. I like the Gourmet Black more for the effect, you know Organo Gold has some positive herbal effects; of course everyone may experience it differently. I keep coming back for more.

I didn't see mention of that on the label. I didn't find it to be anything special in the bread I made. King Arthur is your best best and easy to find.

It's really comparable to store brands. To be honest, I'm not so much of a connoisseur that I notice a difference. I bought this because of the price, and I've been buying it because it holds up for a long time. I don't bake that often so I keep it frozen and it keeps going for years. Also, sometimes I bake Gugelhupf (a yeast cake) which relies on the yeast for flavor and it totally pulls through. I have no complaints whatsoever.

Also the mustard is very thick. You can see the brown sugar grainyness in it. They sell Honeycup mustard in Meijer stores in the Midwest... But not sure about Whole Foods.

Pepperidge Farm's version is not as good; I call them the imposter. I'd never had Tim Tams until a friend in Australia sent some Arnott's Tim Tams my way. I can't explain why, but I will pay the shipping and wait weeks just to get Arnott's sent from Down Under.

I have a WonderMill grain mill and fresh mill Kamut brand wheat as well as a Hard White Spring wheat called "Prairie Gold" Both are marvelous grains for whole wheat flour. I make 100% all the time and works great. PERIOD!! I add 1 Tbs of vital wheat gluten just to make sure, as well as 1/8 tsp of Ascorbic acid (a yeast conditioner). I also use ingredients for Large loafs but set the setting for sandwich and works fine.

I assume you mean wheat bran & I've never eaten that by itself, so I can't compare that to bulgur. The bulgur in this cereal is large grain with a coarse very nice chewy texture-it's a whole grain. You could buy a small amt of bulgur at a store selling in bulk if you want to see what different grinds are like- eg fine, medium or coarse. Many health food, upscale supermarket chains & Middle Eastern groceries carry the 3 types. The Hodgson Mills is just a box of coarse bulgur, they used to have soy grits in it.

I've eaten this but personally I would skip it and go for Special K Nourish or Bob's Red Mill Muesli. For hot cereal the Nourish can't be beat for taking away hunger. The muesli mixed with flavored yougurt the night before and refrigerated is really good, filling and you don't even think about eating.

I agree. Thai Kitchen or Native Forest are better choices (although Thai Kitchen isn't a 'healthy' brand per se). I buy Whole Foods brand (organic) by the case from one of their local stores. Much cheaper and better than Natural Value.

I saw this item for $3.99 at my local Whole Foods. This is slightly more, but I think it is worth the convenience of having it delivered to my doorstep. Hope this helps!
