Bob’s Red Mill

Published on Thursday, July 20, 2006, by Pat Hammond / Edit Post

Bob’s Red Mill carries all kinds of high-quality provisions: flours (some gluten-free), grains, beans, seeds, oats, nuts, and other baking needs. Lots of raves from the hounds for these guys.

Their hot cereal mixes can be used in in breadmaking, and taste perfectly good microwaved with just added water. Bob’s steel cut oats are terrific and cheaper than McCanns. Their coarse-ground cornmeal makes a fine pot of grits or polenta.

It’s best to buy these sorts of products from stores with good turnover, or else order online.

    Bob's has a WIDE inventory, which my local organic green grocer carries most of them. I often ogle the Bob's aisle (well, half an aisle) but usually stick to the occasional soy flour -- for Cornell bread made the no-knead way -- because the others are so expensive. but, in the event I have a specific recipe calling for an unusual flour or meal, it's Bob's Red Mill to the rescue! (Proto-pizza made on amaranth cakes? Yes!)

    Farmer Joe (the green grocer) has a lot of bulk items and they're often out of bags, so I'm confident they have a good turnover; that's where I get most of my grains & flours. They started carrying much of the King Arthur line at a good pricing, so I use their whole wheat and white whole wheat.
