This past weekend, I was moved to try my hand at muffins, thanks to some fresh spelt flour from One Degree Organic Foods. One Degree was one of the companies I was most excited to get to know this past year at Expo East. The company makes high quality breads, cereals, and flours with ancient, sprouted, organic wheat.

One Degree products are not only organic, but also veganic, which means that no animal products or manure is used in their farming. I haven’t yet gotten to taste all of the products, but I did devour the ancient maize flakes, the plain brown rice crisps, a bit of the cacao crisps, and some of the hemp seeds. 1. Xo.
