Ancient and Heirloom Sampler

I bought this as a gift for a friend in California. She is an excellent cook and entertains non-stop. In a recent conversation, she had never heard of some of the ancient grains that I use in baking. I have been a Janie's customer since they bailed me out during the pandemic and love their product. Living in the Chicago area, the location in north-central Illinois makes the flour local for me. I am a FAN! I ordered a sampler for my friend. Ordering was simple and the package arrived in California within the week. I know my friend will become a customer too. The customer service is wonderful and the product never disappoints. To all who work at Janie's, thanks for the service and amazing products.

My wife (who’s a great baker- I’m soooo lucky) made a berry cake with the Turkey red flour and a recipe from your website. It was great tasting and filling. Artisanal flour is so much better than standard flour that i can’t believe how good and satisfying it is.

I love making sourdough bread and just by chance found this website. Decided to order the samplers to experiment with different tastes. I am now a lifelong fan. Really enjoy the samplers to get to know the grains. Thank you for offering these!

It was easy to bake with and the items i baked were delicious!!!!

Made a total of 6 simple sourdough 8 oz loaves with the 4 flours in this sampler, plus Artisan and Black Emmer. My mom, husband, and I tried each of them and all 3 of us gave Turkey Red the highest marks for taste and texture, but the other 5 came close. Turkey Red was the easiest to work with and had great rise. I also really liked the Spelt. I’ve made spelt bread before with flour from another company, but it was not nearly as good as that made with Janie’s Mill. For flavor alone, the Black Emmer was wonderful! I would use it to make rolls to eat with stew or hearty soup. I plan to try out some enriched breads next.
