From Field to Table…
Ultragrain® Is Transforming School Menus with Whole Grain Nutrition and White Flour Appeal.

Compared to conventional whole wheat foods, which can be bitter or gritty, students prefer the color, taste and texture of foods made with Ultragrain whole wheat flour. In fact, Ultragrain is the only patented whole wheat flour that combines whole grain nutrition with the mainstream appeal, taste and texture of white flour, which makes it the perfect fit for school menu—from pastas, pancakes and pizzas to snacks, tortillas, muffins, breads and more.
The journey of Ultragrain to your school starts in the field, where Ardent Mills partners with family farms to grow specially selected white wheat varieties that are milder and sweeter than standard red—and even white—whole wheat. Then we uniquely mill the entire kernel to the finest granulation possible, including the bran and germ.
This not only retains 100% of the whole grain nutrition in Ultragrain, but results in the same consistency and texture as white flour.
Ultimately, that’s how Ultragrain is brought to you…from the farm to the mill…and from the mill to your school tables via our SuperKids Sampling Program. Ultragrain brings whole grain nutrition plus the appeal of white flour to school menus across the country.
