All of our products benefit from being stored in a cool, dry place while sealed for freshness—either in our standup resealable packages, or transferred to the airtight containers of your choice. Our active dry yeast keeps best refrigerated.

The following products will keep best refrigerated or frozen after opening: whole grain flours and meals, hot cereals and rolled oats, muesli (except for our muesli cups), all nut products and seeds.

Yes.

Yes. The majority of our products are naturally dairy and casein free. Our line of gluten free products is dairy and casein free. All of our flours, cereals and grains are also dairy and casein free. We do have a few regular mixes which do contain dairy (and casein) and we encourage you to check the ingredient list on the label to be sure.

Yes. All of our baking mixes can be prepared with egg or milk alternatives. For tips and suggestions to replace dairy and eggs, click here.

Our raw ingredients are sourced from farmers throughout the United States and Canada. Occasionally, ingredients are not available in North America and we look internationally for these items. For inquiries about a specific grain, bean or seed, please email us.

Bob's Red Mill has always made a commitment to purchase only non-GMO grains. All of our products are made from ingredients that were grown from "identity preserved" non-GMO seed. We are enrolled in the Non-GMO Project.

Bob's Red Mill packages baking soda mined from the earth. Like most products that we sell, our baking soda is minimally processed and a product of nature with nothing added and nothing taken out. There may be naturally occurring traces of aluminum in our baking soda. While the amount of aluminum in our baking soda (if any) is minimal, we feel omitting the term "aluminum free" from our packaging will avoid any confusion with our customers.

We offer cut oats and rolled oats. The rolled oats are made by stabilizing the whole oat groats, followed by steaming and rolling the oats to the desired thickness. This method is used for quick, regular and thick rolled oats. The cut oats we offer are the steel cut and Scottish oatmeal. These are made from the stabilized oat groat which is then cut. The Steel Cut Oats are cut into large pieces which produces a chewier texture oatmeal. The Scottish oatmeal is actually stone ground on our mills to produce a nice, creamy porridge.

Any whole grains that have not been heated or hulled can be sprouted. Items that will not sprout include Organic Kasha, Oats and Pearl Barley. We do not offer any sprouted grains or sprouted grain flours.

No. Potato starch and potato flour are not the same and cannot be interchanged in recipes. Potato starch is made from just the starch of the potato and has a neutral flavor. It is primarily used in gluten free baking and can also be used as a thickener. Potato flour is made from the whole potato and has a distinct potato flavor. It can be used as a thickener. Recipes which call for potato starch flour are referring to potato starch.

Yes. Tapioca flour, also known as tapioca starch, is made from the starch of the cassava root.

Mainly just the color! While brown and golden flaxseeds are two different varieties, nutritionally they are identical.

• Unbleached White All Purpose Flour = 10-12% Protein

• Whole Wheat Flour = 13-15% Protein
• Organic Whole Wheat Flour = 13-15% Protein
• Unbleached White Fine Pastry Flour = 8-9% Protein

Regular flour (white or whole wheat) is milled from hard red wheat and has a higher gluten content. It is excellent for baking bread and other yeast-risen baked goods. Pastry flour (white or whole wheat) is milled from soft white wheat and has a lower gluten content. It is excellent for baked goods using baking powder or baking soda as leavening agents. It should not be used for baked goods where yeast is used.

Here’s a handy guide to the differences between these two popular gluten free flour blends.

Currently there are two date-formats in circulation on Bob's Red Mill products. In the first format, the Best-By Date is formatted to be read as day, month, year, with the month being spelled out or alphabetically abbreviated. Ex: 19JUL2024 is July 19, 2024. In the second format, the Best-By Date is formatted with additional manufacturing information along with the date. Ex: 24-200-WHQ-005 is July 19 (200th day on the Julian calendar), 2024, manufactured at WHQ (World Headquarters) on Line 5.

We are always looking to source new products organically, but sometimes it’s not feasible because the product is not currently grown organic, the finished product would be too expensive, or because we’re unable to source the amount needed to bring the product to market.

We removed the outer paper lid from our Oatmeal Cups as part of our sustainability efforts. In the first 12 months alone, we’ll save an estimated 170,500 pounds of waste from the landfill! This change does not affect the preparation method, ingredient list or shelf life.

Our Xanthan Gum does not contain corn as an ingredient, but it is grown using a carbohydrate substrate (sugar) derived from Non-GMO corn.

Products marked with a red GF logo are processed and packaged in our dedicated gluten free facility and batch tested in our quality control laboratory using an ELISA Gluten Assay test. We also offer some products that are certified gluten free by the Gluten-Free Certification Organization, a branch of the Gluten Intolerance Group. You can identify these select products by the GFCO logo on the product packages. For a complete list of our gluten free products, click here.

Yes. Gluten Free automatically means wheat free, rye free and barley free. Wheat free, however, does not necessarily mean gluten free. For example, our Organic Buckwheat Flour does not contain wheat, but because it is produced in our Conventional Facility, contamination with gluten from other grains is a possibility. Be sure to always read ingredient lists carefully.

While there is no one-to-one replacement for xanthan gum in gluten free baking, which aids in binding and thickening recipes, psyllium fiber can be used. Read our guide! Guar gum can also be used (see question below).

To use Guar Gum instead of Xanthan Gum, you will want to use 1 ½ times the amount. For example, if a recipe calls for 1 tsp Xanthan Gum, you would use 1 ½ tsp Guar Gum.

You can replace regular wheat flour with our Gluten Free All Purpose Flour one for one, with the addition of Xanthan Gum for best results. Please see our Xanthan Gum chart for how much to add. Yeasted breads are a little more difficult. We recommend sticking with a gluten free recipe unless you like to experiment. Often times these recipes would require eggs, vinegar and possibly more liquid. You can find many wonderful gluten free recipes using our Gluten Free All Purpose Flour in our recipe section.

Oats require special care to ensure that they are safely free from gluten. Bob's Red Mill only sources from oat suppliers who are committed to practices for eliminating the presence of gluten. Our suppliers are innovative in controlling the presence of gluten through a variety of methods, including crop rotation management plans and the use of optical sorting technology. Regardless of our suppliers’ chosen methods for meeting our gluten free specification, we require that each lot is tested and confirmed gluten free before authorization for shipment to Bob's Red Mill.
