A Taste of Tradition

Panocha flour, made from sprouted wheat, is a wholesome and nutritious flour with deep roots in the culinary traditions of Mexico, New Mexico, and Southern Colorado. This unique flour is integral to making traditional dishes that have been cherished for generations.

Perfect for Traditional Pudding

Lent Special

One of the most popular uses of Panocha flour is in the preparation of a traditional pudding, especially enjoyed during Lent. This pudding, known for its rich, sweet flavor, is a staple in many households during the Lenten season.

Simple and Delicious

Making this traditional pudding is simple. Combine Panocha flour with piloncillo, a type of unrefined whole cane sugar, and water. Cook the mixture until it thickens into a smooth, sweet pudding. For the best experience, serve it chilled. The pudding’s delightful sweetness and creamy texture make it a comforting and satisfying dessert.

Health Benefits

Nutrient-Rich

Panocha flour, being made from sprouted wheat, retains a higher nutritional value compared to regular wheat flour. Sprouting increases the availability of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, making Panocha flour a healthier choice for your recipes.

Digestive Health

The sprouting process also helps break down some of the starches in the wheat, making the flour easier to digest. This can be particularly beneficial for those with sensitive digestive systems.

Versatile Culinary Uses

Beyond Pudding

While Panocha flour is traditionally used for pudding, its unique flavor and nutritional profile make it a versatile ingredient. You can experiment by adding it to bread, muffins, or other baked goods for a wholesome twist. Its slightly sweet, nutty flavor can enhance both sweet and savory dishes.
