Our Ingredients

We believe that if you don’t recognize an ingredient, chances are your body won’t either. So we stick to delicious, real-food ingredients that work hard for your body—and nothing artificial, ever.

    We grind our almonds into a fine flour that produces a tasty alternative to other flours. It seems everywhere you turn, people are singing praises for almonds. Take note! It's important to pasteurize our almonds to make them safe to eat, but instead of a chemical process using propylene oxide (better known as PPO), we treat our almonds with steam, relying on our good friend H2O to keep things clean.

    Did you know apple cider vinegar is just fermented apple cider? We use unfiltered apple cider vinegar that still has the probiotic “mother” – which is the beneficial bacteria that results from fermentation. This is what gives it a slightly cloudy look.

    Simple Mills Soft Baked Almond Flour Cookies Peanut Butter

    We give props to apple cider vinegar for the slightly sweet flavor in our soft baked cookies.

    Arrowroot is often used as a thickening agent in many foods and is easily digestible. It was first discovered in the West Indies and has been used for centuries. Arrowroot is the secret to the fabulously fluffy texture in our pancakes! Shhhhh…

    The cassava root comes from a woody shrub that thrives in warm environments like Brazil, and grows for about a year and half before being harvested. Our cassava flour is ground to mimic the texture of glutinous flours. Translation: It’s the ideal gluten-free alternative to use in baked goods.

    Small but mighty Chia seeds are from plants that grow natively in South America. Centuries ago, they were used by Aztec warriors as fuel when going into battle. Chia seeds are incredibly easy to incorporate into your diet. Just sprinkle them into baked goods, cereal or yogurt. They come in black, red, and white varieties. Go for the white if you’re trying to sneak them past the kiddos!

    Simple Mills Sprouted Seed Crackers Original

    Chia seeds are a member of our "All-Star Seed Lineup" -- sprouted for nutrient availability.

    The mother of chocolate, cocoa beans can be found in different regions along the equator. They grow in pods at the trunk of the cocoa trees and can be harvested year round. The pods, which range in color from red, to purple, to yellow and green, are extracted once ripe. We love cocoa because, quite simply, it’s delicious! But also because of their flavonoids and other beloved antioxidants.

    Simple Mills Almond Flour Baking Mix Chocolate Muffin & Cake

    Our chocolate muffins get their flavor from the REAL thing - cocoa!

    It’s hard to believe you can get flour from a coconut, but you can. It’s made by grinding the dried edible part of the coconut. Along with almond flour, coconut flour is one of our favorite alternatives to wheat flour. Not only does it have fiber, it gets minerals from the rich tropical soils where palm trees grow. Pretty cool. Plus, it gives our muffins and pancakes their light and fluffy texture.

    Simple Mills Almond Flour Baking Mix Banana Muffin & Bread

    Our Banana Muffin & Bread Mix uses almond flour and coconut flour for nutrient value.
  • Coconut Oil ingredient being cradled in bowl in hands, nothing artificial ever

    Coconut oil is extracted from the yummy edible part of the coconut. It’s all the rage for everything from smoothies to coffee to toast—just to name a few. We personally love coconut oil, and believe it to be a great alternative to other oils when cooking and baking.

    Simple Mills Organic Frosting with Coconut Oil Chocolate

    Our Organic Chocolate Frosting is made with coconut oil for a delicious taste & texture.
  • Coconut Sugar ingredient being cradled in bowl in hands, nothing artificial ever

    Much like maple trees that produce syrup, palm trees yield a sap that’s dried and milled, which produces coconut sugar. We love coconut sugar because it’s a natural, unrefined sweetener. You know what else? Coconut sugar is incredibly sustainable. Coconut palm trees produce as much as 75% more sugar per acre, while using less than 20% of the resources than sugarcane plants. Helping to make the climate a better place? Check. Helping to make your body a better place? CHECK.

    We don't ever use synthetic gums or emulsifiers in our products, which means we rely on eggs to give our soft baked bars and cookies their fluffy texture. Even more than that, they're an excellent source of protein. Our Bars offer up a solid 3g of protein per serving.

    Our Best Soft Baked Almond Flour Cookies Peanut Butter

    Do happy eggs equal happy cookies? We vote yes.

  • Flax Seeds ingredient being cradled in hands, nothing artificial ever

    Flax is produced by an herbaceous plant that blooms blue flowers. Who knew? After the flax plant has grown for about 100 days, it’s cut down and dried. Only then are the protein-packed flax seeds removed.

    Simple Mills Almond Flour Baking Mix Pizza Dough

    Our Pizza Dough Mix uses almond flour, coconut flour, and ground flax for nutrient value. We also add them to our crackers for a satisfying crunch.

    Hemp seeds are derived from the Cannabis sativa plant (but they don’t contain any of the psychedelic compounds that you might be thinking of!). They’re known as the “perfect protein,” delivering all 20 amino acids, even the nine essential amino acids that our bodies cannot produce. They also contain Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids. That’s a lot for such small seeds! They can be eaten raw, cooked or roasted. We love them for their mild nutty flavor.

    We believe flavors taste better when they come from the source, so when it comes to flavoring our products, we use the real thing. Some brands try to sneak in “natural flavors” but that's not us. You’ll never see “Pumpkin Spice Flavoring” on our box of Pumpkin Muffin & Bread Mix. Instead, you’ll see “Pumpkin" and actual organic spices.

    Simple Mills Almond Flour Baking Mix Pumpkin Muffin & Bread

    Spice things up! Not only do we use real spices for flavor in all our products, but we ensure they’re organic, too.

    Sunflower seeds hail from sunflowers that are originally from North America (hey, homeland!). We love them because sunflowers make us smile, and also because they contain such a great variety of nutrients.

    Not only do sunflower seeds contain a variety of nutrients, but some believe they also bring good luck! Yes, please.
