Organic hemp flour

A new flour is making its way into bakeries.

Among the many flours offered by Moulins Bourgeois, a family mill very close to its customers, this end of year will be marked by the arrival of an original flour with high nutritional value.

This flour is made from plants grown in France and boasts many positive qualities. In addition to the fact that hemp cultivation requires little water, it is also a "zero waste" plant since all of the plant's components are used.

Flour, on the other hand, is interesting for more than one reason: a high protein content (around 45%) and fiber, but it also contains 8 amino acids essential to our body, vitamins and minerals and is rich in omega 3 and 6.

Hemp bread offers a beautiful color and a generous crumb with a nutty flavor. It is a bread recommended for athletes or vegetarians.
