Wheat, Rolled Flakes, Organic

These tasty flakes may be used as a cooked cereal. They are less tender than Oat Flakes and make baked goods which are more chewy. Used in granolas and mueslis.

This flaked grain is produced through a series of processes. First it is dehulled. It is then hydrated (usually through steaming). Next it is gently and briefly heated before passing through a rolling mill. Before packaging it is thoroughly cooled. This processing stabilizes the grain, meaning the enzymes are neutralized to prevent oxidation and rancidity. The heating transforms the starches to more simple sugars, making them more easily digested.
