Results for tag: "Specialty Grain Flour"

The specialty grain flour market is a subset of the broader cereals, grains, and pulses industry, which encompasses a wide range of products derived from the processing of various seeds and grains. Specialty grain flours distinguish themselves from standard flours by being sourced from less common grains or from unique processing methods that maintain specific nutritional profiles or cater to dietary restrictions. These flours often include those made from ancient grains such as amaranth, teff, and spelt, as well as from pulses like chickpeas and lentils. They can also include grain flours that have undergone minimal refining to retain more of the original grain's fiber and nutrients. The demand for specialty grain flours is driven by increasing consumer interest in health, nutrition, and gourmet cooking, as well as by the needs of people with allergies or intolerances to conventional grains such as wheat. There is also a rising trend of incorporating these specialty flours into traditional products to enhance their nutritional value or to create novel food experiences. Some key players in the specialty grain flour market are Archer Daniels Midland Company, Bob's Red Mill Natural Foods, Ardent Mills, LLC, Bay State Milling Company, and The Hain Celestial Group, Inc. These companies vary in size from multinational corporations to family-owned businesses, each offering diverse portfolios of specialty flours to meet the evolving demands of health-conscious consumers and innovative food producers.
