Bottled vegan coffee beverages, new varieties of Bulk flours, less-sweet sodas aimed at the adult palate… We work hard to seek out exciting new products and flavors we think our members will love. Here’s what’s new at Wheatsville this week.
Seattle-based
DRY Soda Co. has re-imagined what soda can be: better tasting and better for
you. DRY Soda uses only four, all natural ingredients and keeps the pure cane
sugar to a minimum. Each twelve-ounce bottle of DRY contains just 45 - 70
calories and 11 - 19 grams of sugar. The result is a less sweet soda that
allows its fruit, flower and herbal flavors to shine. DRY Soda is available in
Wild Lime, Blood Orange, Vanilla Bean and Cucumber-- each with a unique flavor
profile that makes it refreshing to sip on its own, pair with a great meal or
mix into the perfect drink.4 pack, Reg. $5.99
What is just
as tasty and satisfying as a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, but more
convenient? Annie's PB&J Granola Bar, of course! Packed with certified
organic toasted oats and brown rice, Annie's chewy-crispy PB&J Granola bars
are serious nutrition with the classic taste that will bring out the inner kid
in everyone. 6.9oz, Reg. $4.59
Plump
dried peach pieces and pecans in creamy Belgian milk chocolate make this taste
sensation satisfying. Whether it reminds you of pralines or peanut butter and
jelly, it strikes a flavor chord that you feel you know from somewhere. 3.2oz, Reg. $2.69
In
this new offering from Chocolove, intense dark chocolate flavors give way
immediately to bright cherry flavors, then transition nicely to chewy tangy
cherry pieces. This chocolate bar is both Fair Trade certified and certified
organically grown and processed, featuring 73% cocoa content. 3.2oz, Reg. $3.69
Rubschlager's
100% whole grain Rye Cocktail Bread is the best selling cocktail bread in
America. A flavorful rye studded with caraway seeds, it’s available in
one-pound loaves approximately twelve inches long containing 43 useable mini
slices. We're envisioning English tea sandwiches, appetizers, mini grilled
cheeses, reubens, patty melts and more! Who doesn't love tiny sandwiches-- and
lots of them! 16oz, Reg. $2.19
New Bulk Flours
Three new
varieties of flours in our Bulk department offer options for those seeking to
limit their intake of gluten, or just experience the delight of cooking with a
new ingredient.
(These flours are pre-bagged by us,
but unfortunately, we can’t guarantee that they’re 100% gluten-free. If this is
a priority for you, we carry these same varieties of flour in our packaged
Grocery department.)
Almond Flour
Almond
flour and meal are both just ground up almonds. Almond flour is most often made
with blanched almonds (no skin), whereas almond meal can be made either with
whole or blanched almonds. In either case, the consistency is more like corn
meal than wheat flour. Almond flour is good in "quick-bread" type
recipes, like muffins, nut breads, and pancakes (see recipes below). It's not
good for foods such as bread that require a real dough, as it can't be kneaded.
Usually, more eggs are required when baking with almond meal to provide more
structure. Almond meal can also be used in breading fish, but care must be
taken not to burn it. Per lb, Reg. $5.69
Quinoa Flour
Quinoa
flour is high in protein, with all of the 12 essential amino-acids represented.
Use this delicate flour when baking. You can substitute half the all-purpose
flour in many recipes or completely replace wheat flour in cakes and cookie
recipes, sweet pancakes or waffles. On its own, quinoa flour is traditionally
used to bake flatbreads, such as tortillas or nachos. Unfortunately, it is not
possible to bake yeast breads using solely quinoa flour as it lacks elasticity. Per lb, Reg. $4.49
Coconut Flour
Popular
among those adhering to grain-restrictive diets such as Paleo diets, or any
grain-free diet, coconut flour can offer a gluten-free and protein-rich
alternative to traditional grain-based flours. It is very high in fiber, low in
digestible carbohydrates, and a good source of protein. It lends baked goods an
incomparably rich texture and a unique, natural sweetness. You can replace up
to 20% of the flour called for in a recipe with coconut flour, adding an
equivalent amount of additional liquid to the recipe.

creamy coconut milk. Available chilled and ready to drink in our grab and go
cooler. 9.5oz, Reg. $2.69
