My current pet peeve is grocery stores shelving couscous in the rice and grains section. It's PASTA! Drives me crazy, and likely results in some people believing that couscous is a small yellow seed that has some sort of health benefit. #couscous #seeds #pasta #grains #food #semolina #flour #groceries #botany
Research found that banana skins can be dried and ground into flour that can be used as a partial replacement for wheat. Up to 7.5 percent in cookies are not only healthy but also tasty. See http://www.neat-news.com/2025/04/75.php. #banana #flour

Getting on towards two years in #DenHaag and I still find some mysteries in my grocery shopping.
Particularly, "bloem" and "meel".
Luckily the website which has shipped me flour in the past has a blog page all about this: HET VERSCHIL TUSSEN MEEL EN BLOEM
https://www.demolenwinkel.nl/advies/het-verschil-tussen-meel-en-bloem/
Unfortunately, most ML treatments are converting this (consistently through the text) into THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FLOUR AND FLOUR.

From WHEAT LIFE:
"Flour sacks began replacing barrels as flour containers in the later 1800s, when the sewing machine made it possible to sew a sturdy sack that could hold flour. Flour sacks dominated the industry until the 1940s when paper sacks, which were introduced 20 years earlier, became the main form of packaging."

A lot of these old seed and flour sacks back in the day were manufactured by a Minneapolis company whose logo was a cat out of the bag! Ope!
(You need go no further than the Minnesota State Fair to see a superb permanent collection of seed and flour sacks right there in the Ag-Hort building, not far from the crop art.)

Although I live in the town formerly known as Flour City, I like to recommend Dakota Maid flour from that bastion of socialism, North Dakota!
Our Mission
Provide a profit to our owners – the citizens of North Dakota.
"The North Dakota Mill and Elevator Association began operating October 22, 1922 as a value-added market for wheat produced in North Dakota. In the early 1900’s, the flour mills and grain exchange in Minneapolis were the primary wheat markets for North Dakota farmers and elevators. After freight costs to Minneapolis were deducted from Minneapolis market prices, North Dakota farmers received a low price for their wheat. The North Dakota Mill came into existence to help solve this problem."
I just like the name Dakota Maid — and that they sell replica flour sacks.
Remember when you routinely would purchase flour in 25 or 50 lb bags at the grocery?

Not possible to get bread in Gaza
In Gaza, flour supplies are depleted, and there is nothing left for the majority of bakeries funded and supported by the World Food Programme to produce bread for the hungry and traumatised population.
These bakeries are shutting down, and until further notice, we don’t know when they will reopen.

Anyone have any leads on a retailer of acorn flour in Canada? Like, we have so many oak trees, and I know it was a traditional ingredient for people here. It seems kinda bonkers that the only non-American retailer that I can find is Turkish.

#Malawi: Consumption of whole #maize flour could boost #foodsecurity. Dehulling causes losses of 10% for #protein, 60% for #zinc & 50% for iron. Local preferences are for refined #flour due to convenience & cultural norms, despite the #nutrition benefits of whole grain flour: https://doi.org/10.1007/s44187-025-00311-y
SpringerLinkWhole maize flour could enhance food and nutrition security in Malawi - Discover FoodMaize is the staple cereal in Malawi, with a daily per capita consumption of 383 g (dry matter basis), primarily consumed in the form of nsima, a thick porridge. We combined a milling experiment with focus group discussions (FGDs) to provide insights into mass and nutrient losses during maize grain dehulling and maize flour consumption patterns in rural Malawi. Milling batches (30 kg) of four maize grain varieties were dehulled at three abrasive disk dehullers under controlled conditions. The impact of maize variety and dehuller design on mass and nutrient losses during dehulling was statistically significant (p < 0.05), with a mean mass loss of 28.1 ± 5.7%, and nutrient losses of 9.8 ± 1.9% for protein, 61.7 ± 2.0% for zinc, and 47.7 ± 3.6% for iron. Six FGDs conducted in rural areas of Lilongwe District revealed a preference for refined flour due to convenience and cultural norms, despite the nutritional benefits of whole grain flour, which was recognized for its ability to provide satiety, particularly during periods of maize scarcity. Participants also highlighted switching between flour types based on seasonal maize availability, social stigma associated with whole grain flour, and awareness of nutrient losses during dehulling. Given Malawi’s precarious food insecurity situation, transitioning from dehulled maize flour nsima to whole maize flour or less refined nsima, is imperative. Our study findings can have food and nutritional savings for other southern Africa countries where the dehulling is a common practice.

Manitoba flour, a name chiefly used in Italy originating in the Canadian province of Manitoba. It is a strong flour, and distinguished from weaker flours as measured with a Chopin alveograph.
I was looking at a package of porridge and noticed triticale in their mix. I have baked with triticale but years ago. It's a rather nice nutty flavour but have not seen it around in Ottawa. So in my quest to find a local Ontario based supplier I find:
