Thank you for your question! We do carry some products made from refined grains. Some examples would be Oat Bran, Wheat Bran, and Wheat Germ- these are components of the grains but not considered whole grains as they only include the bran or germ portion. Our Unbleached White All Purpose Flour, Artisan Bread Flour, and 00 Flour are also made from refined wheat and our Polenta is made from corn that has been partially degermed, meaning a portion of the germ layer has been removed.
Hi Allie - No, they are not refined as nothing is removed. They are still whole grain oats, just milled to a fine consistency so they cook quickly/instantly! :)
Hi, I need to know if your Oat Bran cereal is a good substitute for the Dukan Diet oat bran, I believe the Dukan oat bran is M2bis-B6 grade.
Is the Red Mill oat bran the same?
Thank you
Hi Rose - Unfortunately we don't have information on the Dukan Diet and cannot answer this.
In your list of different whole grains you mentioned rice… Isn’t it just brown rice that is whole grain?
Thx
Hi Barb - white rice is refined (not whole grain) while brown rice is unrefined and whole grain.
In "the basics on grains" paragraph it lists 'oats' as one of the grains stripped of its nutritional value, then "oats' is listed in your whole grain column. I am confused, are oats from the store healthy or not??
Thank you
There are definitely different levels of nutrition available in these grains depending on how stripped they are. Meaning consuming oats in more of a whole grain fashion with supply you with more nutrition than those that are more highly processed. We hope that makes sense. Let us know if you need more detail.
Does Bob's RED Mill sell any refined grain products? If so, what are they?
