Here’s another member request filled. Azure Standard Organic Unifine Barley Flour. This mild-flavored flour made from barley grain contains some gluten. It is low in fat. Aside from being used in baked goods, barley flour can also be used as a thickener, much like flour, for people on a wheat-restricted diet.
These Azure Market Organic flours are made using the Unifine Process. In the Unifine Process the grain enters a high speed rotor and is instantly shattered into fine flour – even the bran and germ are burst! Air goes through the rotor with the grain and blows the flour out, thus keeping it cool throughout the process, retaining many nutrients. With the Unifine Process the natural oils in the grain are kept intact and do not get hot like in regular grain milling and stoneground milling.
