Sonora is one of the oldest surviving wheat varieties anywhere in North America. Predating Red Fife and Turkey Red wheat, it is a soft white, round winter wheat with pale red grains.

While earliest records document its existence in the mountain plains of Sonora, Mexico in the early 1700s, the wheat surely predates that era by generations. It was widely planted in California by the early 1800s.

Sonora has a nutty, buttery flavor well suited for richly flavored breads, pastries and piecrusts. richly flavored breads (up to 50%).

Great for biscuits

I got the Sonora type 00 flour and was able to make tender, fluffy from-scratch biscuits for the very first time, they always came out tough with regular AP flour. These felt like they melted in your mouth and the flavor was phenomenal! Used it to make excellent fruit and spice muffins too.

Amazing

I got some really good lard and made tortilla's, I wanna say this took me back...but it was so much better. Flour that has aroma, color and amazing flavor. I'm hooked on BSM! Cant wait to try other flours.

Best heirloom flours

I’ve been sourcing heirloom grains (mostly einkorn) for years for health and family allergies purposes. To have this amazing mill right here from all fairly local suppliers is a huge blessing. The quality of all of their grains is amazing. The 00 varieties are so light and easy to bake with, no more heavy, dense or course results. The Rouge de Bordeaux is delicious with a sort of cinnamon note that makes the best cakes and muffins. Thanks for being a pioneer and bringing healthy good quality grains to the public. You’ve built it out using antique mills and are really embracing the slow food movement. Our tastebuds and healthy guts thank you!

Turkey Red

Most delicious grits ever

All things good!

From mug cakes to raisin bread, this is a great flour!
