🌾 Holiday Baking: How to Choose the RIGHT Flour ✨
Flour choice matters more than most people realize.
It’s one of the biggest drivers of inflammation, blood-sugar swings, and digestive issues during the holidays.
Not all “flour” is the same — and more importantly, not all wheat is healthy.
🚫 What we avoid
❌ Conventional modern wheat
→ Heavily hybridized, glyphosate-sprayed, and inflammatory to the gut and nervous system
❌ Bleached & enriched flours
→ Stripped of nutrients and “fortified” with synthetic vitamins
❌ Ultra-processed gluten-free blends
→ Often contain refined starches, gums, fillers, and additives that spike blood sugar and irritate the gut
✅ What we choose instead
🌾 Organic heirloom / ancient grains
(Einkorn, spelt, emmer, khorasan)
🌱 Sprouted flours
→ Easier to digest and gentler on blood sugar
🍞 Fermented grains (traditional sourdough)
→ Long fermentation “pre-breaks” gluten and improves gut tolerance
🥥 Whole-food grain-free flours
→ Almond flour and coconut flour — single-ingredient only
🛑 What’s REALLY important
✔ Non-GMO
✔ Not sprayed with glyphosate
✔ No bleaching or chemical treatments
✔ No fillers, gums, or modified blends
✨ Quality wins every time.
Holiday baking doesn’t have to leave you bloated, inflamed, or exhausted — when you choose heritage grains and traditional preparation methods, your body can actually enjoy festive foods again.
Same desserts. Better ingredients. Better outcomes.
