Our Organic Sprouted Wheat Flour is whole grain, meaning no part of the grain is removed. This makes for fragrant, highly nutritious baked goods with exceptional flavour — this is not your average all-purpose flour.
Why sprouted flour?
Our wheat goes through a slow soaking and sprouting period to “pre-digest” the grain, then it’s carefully dried and finely milled with nothing added or removed. This ancient, natural process helps you to better digest and absorb nutrients from the wheat. It also enhances the taste by reducing bitterness (saponin) and bringing out wheat’s natural sweetness. Whole grain flours tend to be dense, but sprouting results in lighter, fluffier textured baked goods.
How to use sprouted wheat flour
Sprouted wheat flour feels very similar to using whole grain or whole wheat flour, and works well for all your baking needs. If you’re new to baking with sprouted flour, we recommend you start here. Its high protein and gluten content also make it a great choice for bread flour. Sprouted flour tends to be thirsty, so you may need to use more liquid than you would with non-sprouted flour. We also offer lots of delicious recipes on our recipe journal using sprouted wheat flour, you can find them here.

We LOVE this flour. I bake bread regularly with it (using the bread machine recipe from Second Spring) and sometimes switch it up using 3/4 sprouted wheat and 1/4 spelt or oat flour to get different grains in. It is a beautiful product and very easy to work with!

We have been using the Secondspring products for about 2 years now and absolutely love them. They are our main source for flours, beans & lentils, and grains. We feel so good when we use them! My sourdough starter also loves this flour! Highly recommended 🙂
