For pastry type baking, pie crust, fluffy pancakes, brownies, etc. this is a really nice flour. It works well with any recipe calling for baking powder and/or soda since it is very light. No need to mix whole wheat and white, just use this 100% stone ground flour. The yogurt pancakes on the bag are terrific.

Arrowhead Mills Organic Puffed Wheat Cereal, 6-Ounce Bags (Pack of 12) Review

Arrowhead Mills Organic Puffed  Wheat Cereal, 6-Ounce Bags (Pack of 12)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
As someone who is sensitive to chemicals in foods, I was very upset when Malt O Meal who mass produced Puffed Wheat stopped. The only other product available to me was Quaker, but that had BHT preservatives in it which set off allergic reactions.
Being desperated I tried Arrowhead Mills product and was so grateful it is just puffed wheat without anything else.
For people who have eaten enough puffed cereals, they will know that some taste burnt and some are light puffed. This comes from a process where one company explodes the grain in puffing by heating the grain which toasts it and another more modern method which uses steam pressure.
It is either the heat or steam pressure which when released which causes the grain to "puff".
Arrowhead Mills is the toasted type and it is very good. It also unlike the steam pressure or the old Malt O Meal type not as perfected in that it is a bit more crunchy like the original puffed wheat of a century ago.
For those with allergies, I believe the toasting makes the product less inflamatory to the body in "killing" the oils, germ and hull which affect many people.
The bags are small, but surprisingly one can get around 7 bowls of cereal out of them.
The puffed wheat is though like all puffed wheat in softening readily in milk, but as stated the packages I have the puffed wheat has a bit more texture like original puffed wheat.
I was quite pleased with this product and hope to have it stocked locally. It was good enough for me to even consider purchasing puffed millet in the future.
I hope this helps people in their decisions. God bless.

Hodgson Mill Multi Grain with Milled Flaxseed & Soy, Hot Cereal, 16-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 6) Review

Hodgson Mill Multi Grain with Milled Flaxseed and Soy, Hot Cereal, 16-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 6)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This cereal really tastes good. I make it in the microwave, first heating the fresh cold water to boiling, then adding the cereal, stirring and returning it to the microwave to finish cooking. I let it boil and bubble for a bit in the microwave, which is when the cooking really occurs. I often let it sit in the microwave for a few minutes after it stops, to set up. Years ago a ham radio guy asked me (over the air!) whether I knew how to make gourmet microwave hot cereal. I said no - wondering how you could make anything gourmet, especially cooked cereal, in the microwave - but that I didn't express out loud... so he explained to me the above method, with emphasis on heating the cold water before adding the cereal. And definitely not using hot tap water, as that has the O2 chased out of it, or some such. So I guess that must be it!
I used to laboriously mix various cereal grains to achieve this kind of mix, but with this product it is all done for me. It's also good with raisins added.
I'm delighted that Amazon is selling some of these healthy food items that are hard to find in parts of the country. The special offers bring the price within reason.

Nature Valley Crunchy Granola Bars, Oats 'n Honey, 24-Count Boxes (Pack of 6) Review

Nature Valley Crunchy Granola Bars, Oats 'n Honey, 24-Count Boxes (Pack of 6)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have been a fan of Nature Valley granola bars for years. They come in many varieties. My favorites lately have been the Pecan Crunch and Peanut Butter bars. So, I was pleased to learn that Amazon now offers the bars in their many different types.
Certainly, Oats and Honey are a classic combination. Oats go way back. Samuel Johnson included a definition of oats in his 1755 Dictionary of the English Language. I have adapted liberally from his definition for my title. Actually, Samuel Johnson said: "Oats: A grain, which in England is generally given to horses, but in Scotland appears to support the people." Little did he know that two and a half centuries later, England's colonial offspring would enthusiastically endorse oats as a food for people.
Earlier this month, I spent a week skiing in Colorado at Vail, The ticket counters were equipped with baskets of the Oats and Honey bars provided free of charge. It was a nice gesture considering the almost $100 daily ticket price. The granola bars pack nearly 100 calories for a single bar, and obviously double that for a two-bar pack.
I took the Oats bars with me skiing, but I also depend on them for hiking. An extra 200 calories is what you may need to give you enough energy to get up the last 200 feet to a mountain summit. The taste is good. They do not melt. If you get tired of the Oats, there is always a choice: Pecan, Almond, or Peanut Butter, to provide variety.

The Oats N Honey Granola Bars Value Pack gives you even more of the classic crunch and whole grain goodness of real rolled oats and honey. Brown sugar syrup is added into the mix to produce a sweet, nutritious snack. The bars are a completely natural energy boost that's high in fiber and protein but low in saturated fat. Bite into one anytime, anywhere for an invigorating treat of quality whole grain.

I saw this bread in my local health food store, and it looked so good I decided to try it. I must say it taste just as good as it looks. This is by far the besting tasting cracker I've ever tasted.
Made completely from certified organic ingrediants, this product is an excellent choice for the health conscious. And the price here at Amazon is a great buy in comparison to any local retailer.
I'm looking forward to this replacing the breads I usually use.

Penne by Latini - Farro Grain Review

Penne by Latini - Farro Grain
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
It just does not get any better than this. You will find it has such a wonderful taste on its own, it requires very little sauce or seasoning. I have tossed it with just some premium olive oil and it was heavenly. But what really makes it wonderful is good homemade Pesto.

Click Here to see more reviews about: Penne by Latini - Farro Grain

Produced in Osimo, in the Marche region, pasta Latini has all the great qualities of artisanal pasta. Light consistency, rich flavor and a porous texture that captures sauces and condiments in every bite. It has none of the gumminess or blandness you find in more commercial productions. Marche's climate conditions, the water and the nature of the soil all contribute to an excellent production of wheat. Latini pasta is made from semolina flour mixed slowly with water and passed through bronze dies (hence the increased porousness) that Carlo Latini himself designed. The rough surface also accentuates the fragrance of pasta made from different varieties of durum wheat. While industrially produced pasta is dryed quickly at very high temperatures that alter the flavor of the wheat, Latini is dried at low temperatures (40-45 °C) for a much longer time. The secret is to maintain the highest possible protein value and the exceptional characteristics of flavor and texture in our pasta made only from selected grains of durum wheat. Our Latini pasta selection features: Farro is a grain similar to spelt whose existence has been documented for thousands of years. Passed down to history as the dish of choice of the Roman legions, farro is now enjoying a resurgence especially among trendy health-conscious chefs. Our Latini Farro pasta is made from varieties of farro grain personally selected by the Latini family and grown in Italy, is rich in fiber and extremely digestible, truly a refined gourmet flavor. With particular attention to the end result, during the milling, Latini removes the external cuticles from the bran, leaving only superior filaments, also called the "noble fibers". This pasta offers a mellow aroma and is exalted by delicate condiments made of vegetables and legumes, but the aroma becomes even more prominent with strong sauces based on meat, seafoood and shellfish.

Kashi GOLEAN Bar Crunchy Chocolate Peanut (1.76-Ounce), 4-Count Bars (Pack of 6) Review

Kashi GOLEAN Bar Crunchy Chocolate Peanut (1.76-Ounce), 4-Count  Bars (Pack of 6)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought these as a way to supplement my meals, as well as get more fiber and protein. First of all, these bars are fairly nutritious. They are made of natural ingredients and whole grains, just like the cereal. Each bar contains 6g of fiber and 9g of protein. Considering most people in the United States don't get enough fiber, that is a very decent amount. Previously I was eating the Fiber One Bars Oats & Chocolate, 5-Count Boxes (Pack of 6). While you get 3g more fiber in those bars, you only get 2g of Protein. The Kashi bars are made of better (and more nutritious) ingredients, and they taste better as well. Each bar has only 180 calories, but they are very filling due to the fiber and protein.
Although a bar made of brown rice and oats doesn't sound very tasty, these are some of the best bars I've tried. As the name implies, they're not chewy, but not too crunchy either. Below is the main nutritional info:

Heartland 100% Whole Wheat Angel Hair, 13.25-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 20) Review

Heartland 100% Whole Wheat Angel Hair, 13.25-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 20)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This pasta has a unique flavor, and more subtle notes than processed wheat. Unfortunately, you have to try it to decide for yourselves, as tastes are very personal preferences. You can get a sample of the difference by trying whole grain or whole wheat bread versus regular white bread.
Don't confuse whole grain with whole wheat, they are not the same and have slightly different tastes. Whole grain tends to be sweeter and contains the same overall fiber and health benefits. Whole grain is an amalgam of different grains: rice, oats, wheat, etc., using all the portions of the grain, whereas whole wheat is just 100% of the whole wheat grain. Heartland sells both so you can try each too. Either whole grain product holds their body more al dente and require a slightly longer cooking time. I like them both with whole wheat seemingly less sweet. The angel hair variety is notable as the fiber really makes it easier to make it al dente [ as its thinner, its more sensitive to over cooking].
