Certified Organic Wheat Flours, Grain, Bran & Semolina

Certified Organic Wheat Flours, Grain, Bran & Semolina


Wheat is one of the oldest and most important cultivated food plants. Like all the seven grains, wheat is a member of the grass family. It prefers good fertility levels and sufficient moisture throughout the growing season.

Wheat is mostly used for baking bread and cakes. There are 3 main types of wheat:
  • So called biscuit wheat with a lower protein content ideal for cakes and pastries
  • Durum wheat, a very hard variety for making pasta
  • Hard or bread wheats with high protein levels and good baking characteristics.
Milmore Downs and partner farms grow hard wheat varieties with excellent baking strength.

All wheat products are BioGro certified

Buy Kibbled Wheat

Buy Kibbled Wheat

Kibbled wheat is whole wheat that has been cracked or coarsely ground into small pieces, preserving much of the grain’s original texture, fibre, and nutrients. The process of kibbled wheat involves crushing the wheat kernels, which results in a more rustic and hearty product compared to regular flour. It has a nutty, earthy flavour and is often used in cooking and baking.

Kibbled wheat is commonly used in making porridge, breakfast cereals, and grain-based salads, where its chewy texture adds a satisfying bite. It can also be used as an ingredient in bread-making, or added to soups and stews for added bulk and nutrition. Rich in fibre and essential nutrients, kibbled wheat is a healthy and versatile option for those seeking to include more whole grains in their diet.

Buy Wheat Bran

Buy Wheat Bran

Details   Wheat bran is a component in the whole wheat grain, and contains a high amount of fibre as well as other nutrients like protein, calcium and iron. Many times, this ingredient is added to healthy muffin recipes to increase the nutrient content, as well as to create a heavier, denser muffin or cake.
Buy Wheat Semolina

Buy Wheat Semolina

Details   Semolina is a coarse flour made from hard wheat. When ground into a flour, durum wheat is known as semolina and used all over the world in bread, pasta, and porridge. This flour is darker and more golden in color than all-purpose flour. It has a mild, earthy aroma.
Buy Wheat Flakes

Buy Wheat Flakes

Wheat flakes are thin, flattened pieces of wheat grain that have been steamed and then rolled or pressed to create a delicate, flake-like texture. They are made from whole wheat kernels, retaining much of the grain’s natural nutrients, including fibre, protein, and essential vitamins. Wheat flakes have a mild, slightly sweet flavour and a chewy texture when cooked.

Commonly used in breakfast cereals, muesli, or granola, wheat flakes are a versatile ingredient. They can also be used in baking, as a topping for breads, muffins, or cakes, or incorporated into savoury dishes like soups or casseroles for added texture. Additionally, they are often soaked or cooked to make a nutritious porridge, offering a hearty and satisfying meal that’s rich in whole grain goodness.


Flakes need to breath, please open bags directly after you receive them.
Buy Whole Wheat Grain

Buy Whole Wheat Grain

Details   Whole wheat grains are the unrefined, unprocessed, intact kernels of wheat that contain all three parts of the grain: the bran (outer layer), germ (nutrient-rich core), and endosperm (starchy interior). This makes whole wheat grains a highly nutritious option, rich in fibre, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.

They are commonly used in a variety of products, including whole wheat flour, which is a staple for baking breads, muffins, and other baked goods. Whole wheat grains can also be cooked whole, similar to rice or quinoa, to create a hearty side dish or used in salads, soups, and grain bowls.

They can be milled into flour or used in their whole form for a chewy texture and a nutty, slightly earthy flavour. Whole wheat grains are prized for their health benefits, particularly in promoting digestive health and providing sustained energy.
About Grain Processing

About Grain Processing

The processing of flour, kibbled grains, and flakes at Milmore Downs is designed to prioritize freshness, nutritional value, and quality. Whole grains are carefully processed in small batches to order, ensuring products retain their natural characteristics.
  • Flour is milled using Zentrofan cyclone mills, which produce finely ground, nutrient-rich flours without overheating, preserving vital nutrients.
  • Kibbled grains are made by crushing or cutting whole grains into smaller pieces, ideal for cooking or baking.
  • Flakes, such as barley or spelt, are created by steaming and rolling grains, making them suitable for cereals or granola.
These processes emphasize minimal intervention, aligning with biodynamic and organic principles
