Product Description
Great River Organic Milling is located on the upper Mississippi River, in the heart of what is called the Hiawatha Valley. The natural beauty of the area is a constant reminder of the importance of our commitment to organic agriculture. Organic, or sustainable agriculture is more than the avoidance of chemical fertilizers and pesticides. An organic farm strives to protect our environment by building and maintaining healthy soil which, in turn, improves water and air quality. It has been shown that grain and other food crops grown in a healthy soil, resist pests and diseases better than conventionally grown crops and also contain more vital nutrients important to humans. Consuming organic foods promotes the health of individuals and the land on which it was grown. In supporting organic agriculture we promote the cycle of a healthy environment which includes the lives of microorganisms, plants, and humans. Most Great River flour is stone-ground. We believe the natural granite millstones contribute to the quality, taste and nutritional integrity of whole grain flour. Grain flowing into the stones becomes very thin, flat flakes which integrates all parts of the wheat immediately into the flour, allowing the flour to have more flavor. The cooler temperatures that occur during milling with stones allows important enzyme activity to continue. Protein levels are also be maintained. Our stone-ground flours are milled to order, to retain the nutritional value of the flour. Great River is Certified Organic by Quality Assurance International and Kosher approved. Obtaining our certification requires a yearly inspection of our milling facility and records to insure that our products meet industry standards.

OK, so I changed my rating from one star to five stars. I contacted the manufacturer and they admitted that they have had a problem with grain at the end of their bins not being as clean as they should be. They are going to send out another bag of corn that is clean, no charge! I don't care how bad a product is, if the supplier stands behind their product and is willing to replace (or refund) that's all that really counts in my book!

{My original review}:
I've been looking for new grains for my grain mill and thought this would make a good corn bread. When I opened it up I found that it was extremely poor quality. There are corn stalks and other seeds in the mix (wheat?) as well as seed pods from who knows what kind of plant. And about half of the corn is broken into bits so it would be tough to even clean it up for a mill. My only hope is to screen out the whole corn with hardware cloth and pick out the corn husks. I'm guessing I'll probably lose half of the corn just cleaning it up. I would return it if I didn't get it so cheap, it was about $27 with free shipping and the shipping costs were about $20, so in reality I got if for about seven bucks. I'll probably try to clean it up or if I find something better I'll feed it to the squirrels. This is supposed to be for a grain mill and not for feeding wildlife, correct?

Oh, my! I'm floored. I make artisanal tortillas for local chefs and I am always trying out new organic dent and flint corn. I prefer to buy one pound lots to try cultivars out. And here I had no choice but to buy the 25 pounds, but did it anyway because I loved the packaging, loved the description, loved their website, and had the convenience of buying it at Amazon. So it arrived and when I opened the lovely brown eco bag, the corn was fresh, whole, clean, and beautiful. I nixtamalized it and found, to my delight, that it grinds beautifully in the hand corn mill, in the Nixtamatic, and, with a few more minutes of nixtamalizing, it also grinds to a perfect consistency in a common food processor without losing color, body, texture, or aroma. It makes tortillas like those I had in the mercados in Mexico. The tortillas cook to a gorgeous deep golden color, they rise quite nicely, are aromatic and supple. I've been making artisanal tortillas for about five years and have tried many different organic corn. The Great River corn is, by far, the most delicious. So much so that I will feature it in a demo for a professional association of women in the culinary field. I love it.
Here's the nixtamal recipe for tortilla afficionados: 2-3 cups Great River corn. Wash in a bowl full of water, dump the water. Fill the bowl up again and discard the "floaters." In a non reactive pot (stainless steel, clay or enamel) measure out 6 cups filtered water. Add 2 TBS of cal (slaked lime/calcium hydroxide) and stir. Add the two cups of corn. Heat in low heat for 40 minutes. Do not let it come to a simmer. At 40 min, increase heat to high and boil for five minutes if you will grind the nixtamal in a hand mill or Nixtamatic; boil for 10 if using a food processor. Turn off heat, cover the pot and let sit, unrefrigerated, for at least 7 hours and up to 24. There is no advantage in steeping it more than 7 hours but you can, in case you are busy, with no loss of flavor, texture, aroma, or nutritional value. Steeping for less than 7 hours yields a good tortilla, but waiting 7-12 hrs pays off in terms of pliability and depth of flavor. Pour the cooked corn onto a colander and rinse under the tap rubbing the corn between your hands. Dump the rinsed corn into a bowl, fill it with water and rub the corn again between your hands. Dump that water (it will have pericarps floating in it). Repeat this washing and rubbing four more times. Drain the washed corn in a clean colander and then spread the corn over paper towels. You can now grind it with some salt for flavor enhancement. 2 tsps of salt for this amount of corn should suffice.
