Great River Milling Organic Whole Wheat Flour — High-Protein 5 lb Stone-Ground Bag

Great River Milling Organic Whole Wheat Flour (High Protein, 5 lb) is a stone-ground, USDA Organic whole wheat flour designed for bread baking and high-structure recipes that need extra protein and robust whole-grain flavor.

This 5-pound bag from Great River Milling delivers a clean-label, minimally processed whole wheat flour with higher protein content than many everyday whole wheat flours. Certified USDA Organic, Non-GMO, and Kosher, it contains nothing artificial — no bleaching, bromation, or additives — so you get intact wheat nutrition and a noticeable grain-forward taste. The flour’s higher protein profile supports stronger gluten development, making it ideal for yeast breads, hearth loaves, and other baked goods that benefit from structure and chew.

How does this high-protein whole wheat flour improve bread baking?

Higher protein content helps form stronger gluten networks during kneading and rising, giving loaves better volume, crumb structure, and chew. Because it’s whole grain, expect deeper flavor and a heartier texture than white flours; you may need slightly more hydration when adapting recipes.

• Supports stronger gluten formation for taller, more stable loaves.
• Stone-ground milling preserves flavor and bran for richer taste.
• Adjust hydration + kneading time for best crumb and elasticity.

Can I use this flour for recipes besides bread?

Yes — its robust whole-wheat character works well in many recipes that benefit from structure and nuttiness, though it alters texture compared with white flour. For tender cakes or delicate cookies, try blending with all-purpose flour or using recipe-specific whole-wheat adaptations.

• Great for hearty muffins, pancakes, and bannetons-style loaves.
• Mix with lighter flours for cakes or tender pastries.
• Use in multi-grain mixes or as a partial substitution in recipes.

What certifications and processing should I know about?

Great River Milling’s product is Clean-Label Certified and carries USDA Organic, Non-GMO, and Kosher certifications. The flour is minimally processed: stone-ground with no bleaching or bromation and without additives, giving you a simple ingredient you can trust for clean baking.

• USDA Organic and Non-GMO certified for ingredient sourcing.
• Kosher certification for dietary observance compliance.
• No bleaching, bromation, or synthetic additives used.

How should I store and use the 5 lb bag to keep it fresh?

Store the sealed bag in a cool, dry place away from sunlight for short-term use; for longer storage, transfer to an airtight container and keep refrigerated or frozen to preserve freshness and prevent rancidity. Bring refrigerated flour to room temperature before mixing so hydration and fermentation behave predictably.

• Short-term: cool, dry pantry in original packaging.
• Long-term: airtight container in fridge or freezer to extend shelf life.
• Allow to warm to room temperature before baking for consistent results.

Who is this for? Bakers and home cooks who want a reliable, higher-protein whole wheat flour with transparent sourcing and minimal processing will appreciate Great River Milling’s 5 lb high-protein offering. It suits artisan bread makers, everyday whole-grain bakers, and anyone replacing refined flours with a more flavorful, protein-forward whole grain. If you value clean-label certifications and want a flour that produces structured loaves and hearty baked goods, this product fits well into your pantry.
