Basic Instructions: Gluten flour, added to other flours in bread recipes,
gives the dough extra elasticity and protein, resulting in a finer quality
bread. When using gluten flour for this purpose use 1 Tbsp. or less per
cup of other flour. Gluten flour can also be used to make “gluten steaks,”
a meat alternative. These are made by mixing the gluten flour (1 cup)
with cold water (3/4 cup), cutting the dough into slices and then boiling
in broth one hour.
Azure Farm is located in the foothills east of Mt. Hood with a fantastic
view of the Cascades and farm land in the valleys below. This is wheat
growing country where dry-land farming produces an abundance of soft white
wheat and other grains. But what makes our farm different from most other
wheat farms is our growing practices. We’ve been growing organically for
over 25 years, and are attempting to go beyond basic “organic” (which only
ensures which harmful things have not been used). We try to keep up with
organic soil amendments that will actually improve our soil, and consequently
improve the food itself.
Any items with the Azure Farm label which are not grown on Azure Farm,
are from farms which we know have been growing organically for many years,
doing whatever they can to ensure healthy soil, so the food on your table
is also healthy.
Why go organic? Organic foods are grown without synthetic fertilizers,
pesticides, or herbicides. Organic foods are not genetically modified.
Organic foods are grown in soil that is nurtured, not treated… which
means top soil, groundwater, rivers, lakes, streams, watersheds, fish &
wildlife, and people are not compromised. Healthy food grows in healthy
soil. You can often taste the organic difference!
