Organic Red Fife Heirloom Flour

$6.45 Regular Price

  • Product Info

    Red Fife has deeper, more complex flavors than common hard red winter wheats, and breads made with it bake up moister, with a cohesive crumb. Because Red Fife has high gluten potential, it can be used by itself or mixed with low gluten flours such as rye.

    Red Fife wheat’s origin is unknown, but it is believed that Mennonite farmers in Poland grew the wheat that was shipped to David Fife, a Scottish immigrant in Canada, in the mid-1800s. Fife then grew the wheat and shared it with other farmers, calling it Red Fife because of its distinctive color. Red Fife set the baking and milling standards from the 1860s to the turn of the 20th century, and has been placed on the Slow Food Foundation for Biodiversity’s “Ark of Taste. It is thought to be a relative of Halychanka, a Ukrainian Heritage wheat, prized for its rich flavors and excellent baking qualities.

Excellent flour

I am impressed with the quality of Janie's Mill flour and am so grateful to have found it. It's fun to work with - silky smooth with a fantastic taste! My husband's new favorite for his sandwich bread. Highly recommended.

Makes great bread.

I’ve been baking a loaf of whole wheat sourdough bread every week for years. I switched to Red Fife flour a couple of years ago, and love the results. It tastes great, bakes up well and is now my regular whole wheat flour. I also appreciate the excellent service provided by Janie’s Mill.

Excellent flavor!

I've been using this flour in a variety of baked goods. While it does make a denser loaf than other flours when making yeast breads, the flavor is very good. Usually I blend it with a white bread flour for a better rise.

I absolutely love it for quick breads and muffins. I have to adjust recipes slightly as it takes a little extra flour to absorb the moisture when using a recipe that called for white all purpose flour. Make some banana muffins with it and you'll be delighted!
