What is Ultragrain® ?
Copy from Ultragrain website It is a unique all natural 100% Hard White Whole Wheat Flour that is specially milled to deliver the clean taste and smooth texture of white flour while maintaining the wheat’s whole grain nutrition.Like all flours, Ultragrain®begins with a kernel of wheat planted, grown, and milled into whole wheat flour. But not just any wheat can be made into Ultragrain®. They work directly with farmers, primarily in Colorado and surrounding states, who grow a specially selected variety of all-natural white wheat that’s milder and sweeter than traditional red and white whole wheat. After harvest, the whole kernel is ground to the same texture as white flour. In fact, they were granted a patent for their milling practice, which retains 100% of the whole-grain nutrition fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Nothing artificial. All natural. It's not genetically modified. Ultragrain® offers more nutritional benefits than refined white flour, which only includes a portion of the grain. Ultragrain® naturally gives you more fiber and vitamins than unenriched refined flour, including five times more niacin and thiamin, 12 times more vitamin E, and substantially more B vitamins, riboflavin, and folate.Ultragrain® also has valuable minerals from potassium, phosphorus and magnesium to calcium, iron, manganese, and zinc.It is blended with durum flour to create the special blend that is used to make this pasta.
What is Quinoa Flour?
Quinoa flour is made from the ground up seeds of the quinoa plant. It is grain free and gluten free. The flour itself is cream-colored. The coarseness of the granules can vary from brand to brand, but you will find that flour made from quinoa is more coarse than ordinary wheat flour. The flavor itself is quite strong compared to other flours. It gives your recipes a slight nutty flavor. Consistent with the quinoa grains (seeds) that it is made from, quinoa flour contains more protein than any other flour. It also contains zinc, iron, calcium, vitamin B, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium and manganese. It has a higher fat content than most other flours.
The quinoa flour is then mixed with the Ultragrain® blend to produce Hodgson Mill Ultragrain® with Quinoa pastas.
