As previously announced, UN(THINK) Awakened Flour uses a 100% natural patented process that captures the goodness of the grain, providing all the nutritional and dietary benefits of sprouted wheat, while enhancing the flavor, texture, richness and natural sweetness that are ideal for breads and pastries. UN(THINK) Awakened Flour uses 100% of the whole wheat kernel with no added ingredients.

UN(THINK) Awakened Flour in both Soft White Wheat (for baking) and Hard Red Wheat (for bread) is now available for B2B customers in Canada and the U.S. and AgriFORCE plans to expand sales into the direct-to-consumer market after the summer.

UN(THINK) flour products have been delivered to commercial bakeries for sampling, testing, and product development. We’re now on second batches of trials with these commercial bakeries with the hard red flour and are awaiting the baking results and timeline for baked products development with our UN(THINK) flour products.
