Description

Rouge de Bordeaux is a French heritage wheat with red, bronze-toned kernels and a story that runs back to the 1860s. Ours comes from a single farm in Queen Creek, Arizona, and reaches you as whole berries, so you mill it fresh when you’re ready to bake.

Milled fine, it makes a warm brown flour with aromas of toasted grain and baking spice, often compared to cinnamon, and a mellow sweetness with real depth. At about fifteen percent protein, it was made for bread. It does its best work in hearth loaves, naturally leavened sourdough, and pizza dough, and it adds character to rustic pastry and pie crust.

How to Bake with Rouge de Bordeaux Flour

Rouge de Bordeaux is high in protein, and its gluten is extensible, meaning the dough stretches easily and tends to spread. Give it a longer autolyse to let the whole grain absorb water, build tension when you shape, and proof in a banneton. Bake in a Dutch oven or on a hot stone for the best rise and crust.

The Story of Rouge de Bordeaux Wheat

Rouge de Bordeaux takes its name from the deep red color of its bran, a shade often compared to the wine of the same region. Historical records place it in southwestern France around 1865, near the town of Lectoure, and within a few years it had spread toward Bordeaux and into central France. By 1912 it grew in at least three quarters of the country’s departments. Higher-yielding modern varieties gradually replaced it, and it might have disappeared if farmers and seed savers had not kept it in the ground. Today this red, awnless wheat is grown again for bakers who want bread with real character.

Whole Berries for Your Home Mill

This is a heritage grain, not a blend. You know what it is, you know where it grew, and you decide when it becomes flour. Whole berries keep far longer than flour, and our nitrogen-flushed 7.5 lb bags push out the oxygen insects need. Keep a supply on hand, mill what you need, and bake with flour that’s minutes old instead of flour that sat on a shelf.

  • Single Origin: Rouge de Bordeaux wheat from one farm in Queen Creek, Arizona.

Yes—sourced from non-GMO seeds; grown without chemical defoliants (including glyphosate).

We offer white, high-protein, red, and black sorghum. Though not certified organic, our sorghum is naturally gluten-free, non-GMO, grown without chemical defoliants, and never treated with storage chemicals or storacides. It’s single-origin and responsibly farmed. We mill everything from fine-sifted flour to polenta-style grits. Our sorghum flours and grains have been featured by the National Sorghum Producers, the Culinary Institute of America, and Texas Tech University’s Department of Nutritional Sciences.

No. Our grains and mixes are never treated with storage chemicals or storacides. Our berries are vacuum-sealed with a nitrogen flush, which pushes out the oxygen insects need and keeps the grain in good shape for long-term storage.

If your order arrives damaged or incorrect, notify us within 24 hours of delivery and we’ll make it right.

We do not accept returns on food products. If there is an issue with your order—damage in transit, incorrect item, etc.—please reach out within seven days of delivery, and we will work to make it right.

We source only certified seed or work directly with trusted growers who follow strict standards for varietal purity, field management, and post-harvest handling. This ensures our wheat, sorghum, corn, and other grains maintain consistent quality, traceability, and performance. From seed to storage, we prioritize identity preservation so every batch meets the standards needed for clean milling and dependable results in the kitchen.

Our single-origin grains are responsibly grown—hard and soft red wheat from Texas farms, hard white wheat from Kansas, soft white wheat from Washington. We work directly with growers who practice responsible and sustainable farming—no chemical defoliants, no storage pesticides—so you get full-flavor, nutrient-rich grains.

Stone-milling is a slow, cool process that keeps the grain's natural oils and flavor, yielding flour with fuller flavor, higher nutrition, and a natural texture. We use a Bakers Grade™ mill from New American Stone Mills—trusted by professional bakers worldwide—to ensure consistency and taste.

We mill every bag to order. Once you place your order, we grind the grains fresh—on demand—so that what you receive is peak flavor and performance. Expect noticeably brighter taste and aroma compared to mass-produced flours.

It would be better that you did, especially while you’re learning to use fresh-milled flour. After the learning curve, you can usually go back to your old recipes. The ratio of flour:water:fats is usually different in fresh-milled flour recipes.

All grains and flours ship in GrainPro® Hermetic Bags—water-resistant, gas-tight, food-grade pouches that protect contents from moisture, pests, and mold without pesticides or refrigeration. These eco-friendly, reusable bags ensure your grains and flours arrive fresh and ready.

By weight, yes—1 oz of stone-milled flour equals 1 oz of regular flour. By volume, though, stone-milled flour packs more densely, so cups can vary, but usually one cup of grain equals two cups of flour. For consistent results, weigh your flour and increase hydration by about 10–15% over standard recipes to accommodate its extra water absorption.

Yes, generally speaking, it's best to bring frozen flour up to room temperature before using it.

Fresh-milled flour stays good in the pantry for about three weeks when kept in an airtight container in a cool, dry place; beyond that, freeze it to preserve freshness and prevent rancidity.

is our house standard across the line: sifted flour at about 75% extraction, meaning we keep roughly three-quarters of the milled grain and sift out the coarsest bran. It runs denser than ultra-fine "00" flour but stays refined enough for dependable performance. Stone-milling keeps the oils, nutrients, and flavor that industrial milling strips out, so you get real depth of flavor with consistent bakes.

Yes. We provide custom pricing for bulk orders of stone-milled flour and whole grain berries. If you operate a bakery, café, retail shop, or meal-kit service in Lubbock, Amarillo, or elsewhere, email [email protected] with your requirements. We’ll supply volume pricing, packaging options, and delivery logistics.

No, our grains aren’t certified organic—most growers opt out because organic certification brings complex regulations, higher costs, and often lower yields. Instead, we partner with farmers who use regenerative, sustainable practices to deliver the freshest, most flavorful grain.

Absolutely. If you own a home mill, we offer responsibly sourced whole grain berries in various sizes. Be sure your mill can handle the hardness of each grain (e.g., wheat vs. sorghum).

We mill only one grain at a time to minimize cross-contact. However, our facility processes wheat, rye, and sorghum, so we cannot guarantee a 100% allergen-free environment. If you have severe allergies, please contact us before ordering.
