Discontinued Flour
Has anyone found a good substitute for Hodgson’s Mill stone milled graham flour which is no longer available? That particular flour added a unique taste to many recipes that I am fond of.
Failing a good substitute, Does anyone know what wheat that Hodgsons used in their graham flour?
If I could get the right wheat I might try to grind my own substitute.
Regards.

Good to "see" you, Carlos.
Amazon lists a couple: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=Graham+Flour
Great River, and Giusto's.
But I could not find any "graham" at Giusto's web site, giustos.com.
Great River lists it at:
https://www.greatrivermilling.com/wp-content/uploads/GROM_Prodcuts_OnAZ_VER02.pdf
which links to 25 and 50 pound bags at Amazon.
Due to the shipping surcharge for 50+ pound packages, the 25 pound package is cheaper per pound after shipping.

I'm currently using up a bag of Bob's Red Mill Stone Ground whole wheat. But it is not as coarse or gritty as I remember the Hodgson's Mill Graham.

General Mills has a stone-ground "coarse" WW, but I've never tried it. The description says it makes "textured" baked products.

But it is only cost-effective and easy to acquire if there is a distributor near you for in-person pickup.
The "a-laxa" moniker harkens to the laxative effect that the large-ish bran particles have on the bowel. But I don't know if General Mills is just doing a play on words, or if it is intended to convey that the particle sizes actually match traditional Graham flour specifications.
idaveindy - thanks for that,
I appreciate your response.
