Welcome to Azure--we have been with them for over 20 years. Produce is hit or miss with Azure but their customer service is amazing. I order 12 half gallons of Alexandre whole milk every month( in cartons). Delicious. if you are trying to get Rumiano butter, good luck. I had it in my cart for 4 months and it finally shipped.
Thank you! The only produce was Kiwi that I got this time, and it was really good! It was gone in like 2 days. But, that is the only produce I ordered this time.
I love Azure Standard! Our group is awesome. Everyone is so helpful and kind to each other. All the products I have ordered has been wonderful. I love hard red wheat and Emmer bread. So much flavor.
Yes! I don't know why it took me so long to place an order with them. But, I am so glad that I did. Thanks for the tip on the hard red & emmer, that sounds like a nice combo!
It was a painless process, and kind of fun! I don't know why it took me so long to order from them, but I am glad that I did! I am excited to place my next order already!
I’ve bought wheat berries from Azure and I’m happy with the product . I mill my grains with a powered Grainmaker mill and I use a 12inch diameter very fine sieve to inspect every thing I put into the mill. I’m not overly worried about chaff etc but i don’t want to pass rocks thru the mill.
Yes, I have been very happy with the grains I purchased too! I haven't ran into any rocks, but I agree I wouldn't want those to go through my mill either. Thanks for watching! Happy Baking!
It was great seeing you and thank you for showing your Azure haul . I recently also ordered from them and I’m quite pleased. Can’t wait to see you come up with some recipes for Emmer. Take care.
Thank you so much! I am glad you enjoyed it! I have been very pleased! I can't wait for my next order already! I am not sure why it took me so long to give it a try!
I guess I got lucky! There was plenty when I placed my order, but I am hearing that it is now out of stock. The only produce I got with this order was Organic Kiwi, and it was delicious, gone in 2 days! So I guess I will see in future orders if I have any issues. Thanks so much for watching!
So glad your now using azure, been a azure customer for 5 years. They are amazing and their products and prices can’t be better. (For bulk buying) Looking forward to see how you feel about their grains in bread making.
I have been really loving my purchases from them! I don't know why it took me so long to order from them. But, I am glad that I did. I can't wait to place my next order already!
I love azure standard. They are my only go to for berries and grains. Yes I have to travel 40 miles to pickup but well worth it. I absolutely love your channel
Yes, I agree. The grains look wonderful. I don’t pay attention to much online or what people say anymore. I just step out in faith I think that’s what you did too.❤
I picked up some grain and it had those round seeds in them. I called the farm, he said they are wild peas that were growing in his field. They are fine to mill and wont change anything. I left them in.
Ya, I have just been leaving them in, there is not very many at all. I haven't seen anything else yet in any of them. Thanks so much for letting me know!
I am going on my second order from them this month. Very satisfied! I have bought the same wheat berries as you and love them! Great haul! Giving me some new items to try😄
Yay! I am not sure why it took me so long to try it, but I am so glad that I did! I am very happy with my purchases, and I am excited for my next order already!
Regarding Alexadre’s milk products… I live down the road from them! If you’re ever in Northern California and I mean NORTHERN on the coastal side, please contact me, stay on our property and allow us to take you to the dairy farm! Also within our town we also have Rumiano cheese factory! Both have little country stores for locals and visitors to make purchases.
That sounds lovely! We have been to California a few times, but Acton is the farthest we have been north. (So, we are missing out on some beautiful country!) Thanks for the offer!
Kara you're so awesome! I haven't ordered from them yet cause of the same intimidation and how different it is, so thank you for doing this video 😊 oh and I'm definitely going to try the hibiscus tea
Awww! Thanks so much! I don't know why it took me so long to order from them! I am pleased with the process and my purchases. I can't wait to order my next one already! 😊
Love their cream A2/A2 heavy whipping cream. I made clotted cream with some. Very good! We’ve ordered many things from Azure that I couldn’t find in any store. Their grain, I wasn’t as happy with was the Einkorn. And the first bag of Soft White had little stones. Your grains looked amazingly clean! Maybe I got the bottom of the barrel, because I ordered that last fall, early winter. I will order grains from them again. Been trying grains from so many sources to see what I like 🥰 Lots of organic. Enjoy!
Yes, I was happy to find heavy cream that just had cream in the ingredients! It's great! I'm sorry that happened to you. Dealing with that much grain, I am sure it is bound to happen to any company at times. Thanks so much for watching! 😊
Yay! I am glad I could help! I do have a second order video out now too if that helps! It was so fun, I can't wait for my next one already! lol ua-cam.com/video/imDRg51hFT0/v-deo.htmlsi=G0Iwx_yILiMhbLcM
That is awesome! There are so many more pickup sites than they ever had! I don't know why it took me so long to order. So glad that I did, because it was painless, and kind of fun! I can't wait for my next order already! Thanks!
A tip. On the pick-up time. It is typically 1 week after the cutoff. But on occasion it can be just under a week, up to 1 1/2 weeks. Sharing only so you are aware, since you do travel. I love Azure. We seem to increase our order every other month or so. Glad you decided to give them a try. I think you'll really love them.
Thank you so much for that tip! Yes, I need to make sure I am in the area for a long enough time for that window. I am not sure why it took me so long to order from them. I am so happy with my purchases.
I may do something like that, but our weeks look different than most, especially when we have travel days, etc. But, we try to get in as much fresh milled flour as possible. So some of my weeks will consist of making a bunch of things to store for travel days. But, on a normal week we try to get as much fresh milled flour foods as possible. I try to be creative and mix up my recipes. But, the ones I post online on my website, are the ones I am using! I try to add new ones every week! www.grainsinsmallplaces.net
In have a A1 allergy. Actually I think I've had it my whole life. It became a real problem about 10 years ago. It causes central Apnea and greatly increases sleep apnea. Also creates bladder control issues and extreme bloating. After researching, I learned that the producers have been increasing the A1 gene in cows because A1 produces more milk. Sheep, camel and water buffalo milk are all A2. These are difficult to get in the USA except for Greek Feta made from sheep milk only. Goat milk is higher in A2 but mostly not 100% A2. Hope this info is helpful!
Love Azure! We got a bag of soft white that was full of debris like it was the last bag of the huge bin or something. Customer service was easy to work with and come to a resolution. Of the multiple 25-50 pound bags we have ordered that is a rare occurrence so just heads up that it is possible to get a bag with some stuff, but not a common problem, at least from my experience in the past year of ordering from them. Also they have delicious chocolate chips if you ever need to stock up!
I am glad they worked with you you to resolve it! Dealing with that much grain, I am sure it's bound to happen at times. So, I am happy to hear they handled it well! Yes! Chocolate chips are already in my bag for my next order! 😋 Thanks!
You’re very welcome and I’m very happy that you showed the grains from there because I was skeptical I did order kamut . Actually it’s my second time. And I’m quite please anywhere to save money nowadays, but I like the fact that you said oh no, I’m down to almost my last grain. I totally understand how you feel about that one. Have a blessed evening.
I wanted to show it as I saw it, because there have been claims of grain issues online, so I was skeptical as well, but I was also out of it! (I can't always believe what I see online unless I try for myself, it can be a rare occurrence, or a competitor, or a disgruntled person, etc) I am so glad I decided to go with it! I am very happy with my purchases. Thanks so much!
I love my grains from azure. I’ve gotten beans too. The one time I got soft white it had LOTS of extra weed seeds. Maybe a tsp- Tbsp per cup of grain. But I just grind them up and don’t know the difference!
I am very pleased with my purchases and can't wait to place my next order! Yes, the other seeds I found in that soft white, I just milled right in. No problems! Thanks for watching! 😊
when there is very little left on the bottom of the bucket/bin, it is a good idea to take the contents out, wipe the container with a dry cloth once and then add the new stuff first and then top with the old contents...so we use up the old ones first... especially those that can go rancid like nuts, etc... 😀
Azure Standard is the best! Have been purchasing from them for a couple two or three years now, quality and standards are great, I have never had any issues with the grains and I have purchased a bunch and I mean a bunch, I love sourdough ing and baking!
I don't know what took me so long to order from them! But, I am so glad that I did! I am very pleased with the products, and the process was painless and kind of fun! Thanks!
I purchase the A2A2 milk, heavy cream etc and they are AMAZING! The cheeses are amazing too and I buy the large blocks every time, cut in blocks, vacuum seal and freeze the chunks.. You will not be disappointed. I freeze all my milks too… The Kamut is awesome! I made your Kamut bread with it, one loaf for us and one for mom…. Happy baking!
Yes! I don't know why it took me so long to order from them! I am pleased with the process and my purchases. I can't wait to order my next one already! Thanks! 😊
And also by the way, I like cow you found the A2/A2 dairy products I have a store near me and I’ve been on this product for a few months now and I was reading about it and I guess it’s A2 beta-casein is most natural to the human body and more easily absorbed. So our bodies recognize it so I was excited about that and also, I’m gonna tell you that apricots are amazing. I’m on my second bag now, so I was like you I couldn’t find any apricots that didn’t have weird stuff in it but the ones that I get from Azure are good, so I hope you enjoy them
My pleasure! I don't know why it took me so long to order from them! I am pleased with the process and my purchases. I can't wait to order my next one already! 😊
That is awesome! I don't know why it took me so long to order from them! The process was painless, and find of fun! I am excited to start my next order already! Thanks!
Please post what you make with the Emmer. I order from Azure and have some but haven't used it. I would love to see what you make. I get Azure just about every month. I've been happy with all I have gotten. That includes frozen berries.
Yes! I am very happy with my Azure purchases! I don't know why it took me so long to try them! But, I am so glad that I did! I can't wait to place my next order already! Thanks!
Yes! It actually tastes like popcorn! 😋 Like the popcorn I remember as a kid! I'm not sure if it's the variety that makes it so good or that it is Non-Gmo. But, it's so good, it will be on my future orders, and I never want to buy popcorn from the grocery store again!
We’ve been with Azure for 3 months now. Very VERY pleased with quality of items and how everything is packed … arrives perfectly. Question? Are you using 3 or 5 gal buckets to store your wheat berries? I’m trying to estimate how many “gal” would be in a 25 lb bag of berries. Same question for Rice. Thank you.
Yes! It was a painless process, and kind of fun! I don't know why it took me so long to place an order! I have 5 gallon buckets, and I poured 25# of my wheat berries into the buckets in the video. So, 5 gallon buckets, empty will probably hold close to 35# of grains. I hope that helps! Thanks!
@@GrainsInSmallPlaces I’ve ordered buckets of berries from Pleasant Hill and they send 40# in a 6 gal bucket. It’s filled to the top! Thanks for your response. ❤
We loved all the cheese I purchased, so now I know we can get a big block! I haven't tried the honey, that may be on a future order! Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much! I am picking up my first order next week. The one thing that’s been holding me back was unloading the truck. I have a back fusion surgery and will not be able to unload a truck. Will this be a problem? I’ll be able to load up my own items, but that will be enough lifting for me. I am really hoping there are some strapping young men there willing to help.
I don't think you will have an issue at all! Everyone jumps in and unloads the truck, there were people helping other people at the one I went to. It was kind of mythodical! I am sure there will be people there to help. Matt (my husband) was there to help others if needed, but there were so many people there helping others he wasn't really needed.
This is a great video. I recently placed an order and in fact our cut off time is tomorrow! I myself was a bit nervous as well. Interested to know what 'Azure Cash' is. Thank you!
Thank you so much! I can't wait until my next order already! Azure cash is basically money you earn towards future purchases. So, sometimes they run sales or give extra Azure cash for things you order. You order items, they give you the cash in your account, and you can use it for part of your next order.
Hi Kara how far did you have to drive to pick up order? Looks like you’re un Florida. Im in Broward County. Tnx for sharing. Bread Beckers has a co-op program as well. I was so blessed when I found out my pick up location was less than 2 miles away! How did you like the popcorn?
It was about 15 minutes for us to pickup the order. Yes, I was impressed with the amount of Nationwide pickup locations! I love to shop at Bread Beckers every time we go through the area, I havent tried their co-op yet. We LOVE the popcorn, the bag is already more than half gone. I told my family it actually tastes like the popcorn I had as a child, like it actually tastes like popcorn. I don't know if it was the variety, or the fact that it was non-gmo. But, it is amazing, and will be on our next order! Thanks!
No, I don't use oxygen absorbers, but sometimes, when I'm in a really humid area, I will put food grade moisture absorbers in there. I go through it pretty quick! I am fortunate to have not had a bug issue. I pray it stays that way! Thanks for watching! 😊
Oh no! They had plenty when I placed my order, I hope I didn't take the last bag! lol. Hopefully, they will get it back in stock soon. In the meantime, this has been a great alternative for me in the past. amzn.to/42i1oBD
Yes! They definitely have it all figured out! It was so painless, and fun! I don't know why it took me so long to try it! But, I am so glad that I did, because I already can't wait for my next order! Thanks!
I did hear that they discontinued the Kamut, but the great news is they have Khorasan Wheat now, and it is the same, just not the name brand. I purchased some with my most recent order, and I show the grains if you are interested in that. ua-cam.com/video/imDRg51hFT0/v-deo.htmlsi=Yd6X06K0JOv1g1WT
Yes! I don't know why it took me so long to order from them! I am pleased with the process and my purchases. I can't wait to order my next one already! 😊
Does anyone know if there is something similar to this in Ontario? Azure is not available in Canada and probably would be an issue to buy in NY and bring over the border.
I don't think it is oily, no. It is one of the largest of the wheat berries. I did a short on it if interested. ua-cam.com/video/1nhQrd0j_RA/v-deo.htmlsi=0egGmGUhjNQ7k9Cv I also have some written info on the wheat berry verities on my blog here if interested. grainsinsmallplaces.net/wheat-berries-varieties/
It's an ancient grain that hasn't been genetically modified. Kamut flour comes in both white and whole grain flours. I used to bake with it exclusively but slacked off on my baking in the last year.
Azure works in a different way, where you meet the Delivery truck at a assigned destination with others from your area. So, it is not delivered to your door. Each Co-op has a bit of a different way of charging. So, if you go on the website and find a drop point near you, it will give you the fee. The ones I have used have been an 8% fee on my purchase, and that covered shipping to the drop point. But, it can be different in some areas. Here is my link to Azure Standard to find the closest drop to you www.azurestandard.com/?a_aid=7df0fb364f
Yes, fresh garlic tastes so much better, but my kids like to have a quick, easy garlic bread snack that they can make without me there. So, it's a nice convenience item! 😉
@GrainsInSmallPlaces have them use granulated garlic or powder to watch salt intake it's shocking how much salt consumed daily n don't even realizing. lije my kids live everything bagel n FULL of salt
These are my own nails, that grow quickly because of the goodness in the fresh milled flour! I only cook for my family, so no worries about sharing. Thanks for watching.
Sorry you feel that way, UA-cam has it's way of adding those in there, it's out of my control. I believe UA-cam has a monthly subscription you can watch without ads.
Welcome to Azure--we have been with them for over 20 years. Produce is hit or miss with Azure but their customer service is amazing. I order 12 half gallons of Alexandre whole milk every month( in cartons). Delicious. if you are trying to get Rumiano butter, good luck. I had it in my cart for 4 months and it finally shipped.
Thank you! The only produce was Kiwi that I got this time, and it was really good! It was gone in like 2 days. But, that is the only produce I ordered this time.
I love Azure Standard! Our group is awesome. Everyone is so helpful and kind to each other. All the products I have ordered has been wonderful. I love hard red wheat and Emmer bread. So much flavor.

Just ordered from Azure for the first time but haven’t picked up yet. Ordered some of the same products so thank you for sharing!
It was a painless process, and kind of fun! I don't know why it took me so long to order from them, but I am glad that I did! I am excited to place my next order already!
I’ve bought wheat berries from Azure and I’m happy with the product .
I mill my grains with a powered Grainmaker mill and I use a 12inch diameter very fine sieve to inspect every thing I put into the mill. I’m not overly worried about chaff etc but i don’t want to pass rocks thru the mill.

Their Mushroom popcorn is amazing, it is the only one my husband wants! Love Azure Standard!
Yes! It is so good, and actually tastes like popcorn from when I was a kid.
I absolutely love ordering from them for my wheat! I think I have gotten four orders now and they have not disappointed me. So happy for you!
Yes! I have really been impressed with the quality! Thanks so much!
it was like Christmas for you! Glad you were excited and not disappointed.
Yes! It really was like Christmas! I am so excited for my next order already! Thanks!
Amazed you got Kamut! I’ve been buying from Azure since 2017 and love them. The only problem I have had is with fresh vegetables and fruit, not good.
I guess I got lucky! There was plenty when I placed my order, but I am hearing that it is now out of stock. The only produce I got with this order was Organic Kiwi, and it was delicious, gone in 2 days! So I guess I will see in future orders if I have any issues. Thanks so much for watching!
So glad your now using azure, been a azure customer for 5 years. They are amazing and their products and prices can’t be better. (For bulk buying) Looking forward to see how you feel about their grains in bread making.

I cannot wait for mine to come 1st week of April!! Woohoo!
Yay! It is so exciting!!!!
The a2/a2 dairy is also available at natural grocers if you're in the area where you can find natural grocers.
Thanks! I didn't know that, I will keep my eye open for them when traveling around. 😊
Yes, I agree. The grains look wonderful. I don’t pay attention to much online or what people say anymore. I just step out in faith I think that’s what you did too.❤
Yep! I agree, I have to see it for myself! Online is not as trustworthy as some might hope. Thanks so much!

I recognize that bag of kamut. I've been buying all my grains from azure and have been happy with them.
Yes! Kamut makes me happy! 😁
Is Kamut a hard or soft grain?
Wow! I've been on the fence about Azure. Great haul! 😀
Thanks! I am happy with my purchases, and I can't wait to place my next order already!

Love Azure Standard. I buy all my grains from them with no problems. ❤
Yes! I don't know why it took me so long to order from them! I am pleased with the process and my purchases. I can't wait to order my next one already! Thanks! 😊
You may find kamut under khorasan as well
Yes! Thanks for that tip! Khorasan is the variety of wheat, and Kamut is the name brand. Other brands also sell it. Thanks again!
Just picked up my 1st order 1 week ago, so organized and easy
Yay! I am so happy to hear that. Yes, it was a very smooth and painless process. Thanks!
Love Love love Azure Standard. They are the only place we order from.
the frozen broccoli is so good
Ohh I might need to grab some of that!
I don't know why it took me so long to try them out! I am so happy I did, I can't wait for my next order already!
And also by the way, I like cow you found the A2/A2 dairy products I have a store near me and I’ve been on this product for a few months now and I was reading about it and I guess it’s A2 beta-casein is most natural to the human body and more easily absorbed. So our bodies recognize it so I was excited about that and also, I’m gonna tell you that apricots are amazing. I’m on my second bag now, so I was like you I couldn’t find any apricots that didn’t have weird stuff in it but the ones that I get from Azure are good, so I hope you enjoy them
Yes, I am so happy to learn about this! I am so glad to find products that are better for me and my family! 😊
@@GrainsInSmallPlaces ❤️
Thank you 🎉I’ve been wanting to try azure
My pleasure! I don't know why it took me so long to order from them! I am pleased with the process and my purchases. I can't wait to order my next one already! 😊
I am new to Azure orders about 3 so far!!
Very pleased!!
Yogurt is a must try item!! Yummy
That is awesome! I don't know why it took me so long to order from them! The process was painless, and find of fun! I am excited to start my next order already! Thanks!
Love Azure Standard! We pick up 4 times a year
I really enjoyed the process, I don't know why it took me so long! Now, I can't wait for my next order already!
I've bought from Azure for several years but I don't buy my grain there. We have a local co-op buying group for grain.
That is wonderful! Do you use the Bread Becker Co-op? Or is there another option out there I am unaware of? Thanks!
Love Azure Standard
I am not sure why it took me so long to order from them, but I am so glad that I did. I can't wait until my next order already!
We order their popcorn by the 50lb bag! Lol, we will have to try the mushroom variety! 😂
Yum! What Variety do you get?
@@GrainsInSmallPlacesThe regular yellow organic :)
😋
it's good my friend gets it
😊
Please post what you make with the Emmer. I order from Azure and have some but haven't used it. I would love to see what you make. I get Azure just about every month. I've been happy with all I have gotten. That includes frozen berries.
Yes! I am very happy with my Azure purchases! I don't know why it took me so long to try them! But, I am so glad that I did! I can't wait to place my next order already! Thanks!
You sound just like the little gal on Grains and Grits. Even your mannerisms are the same 😊
Thanks so much, Felicia is a wonderfully inspiring person!
Mushroom popcorn is awesome!
Yes! It actually tastes like popcorn! 😋 Like the popcorn I remember as a kid! I'm not sure if it's the variety that makes it so good or that it is Non-Gmo. But, it's so good, it will be on my future orders, and I never want to buy popcorn from the grocery store again!
We’ve been with Azure for 3 months now. Very VERY pleased with quality of items and how everything is packed … arrives perfectly. Question? Are you using 3 or 5 gal buckets to store your wheat berries? I’m trying to estimate how many “gal” would be in a 25 lb bag of berries. Same question for Rice. Thank you.
Yes! It was a painless process, and kind of fun! I don't know why it took me so long to place an order! I have 5 gallon buckets, and I poured 25# of my wheat berries into the buckets in the video. So, 5 gallon buckets, empty will probably hold close to 35# of grains. I hope that helps! Thanks!
@@GrainsInSmallPlaces I’ve ordered buckets of berries from Pleasant Hill and they send 40# in a 6 gal bucket. It’s filled to the top! Thanks for your response. ❤
I order the big blocks of cheese and the honeys
We loved all the cheese I purchased, so now I know we can get a big block! I haven't tried the honey, that may be on a future order! Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much! I am picking up my first order next week. The one thing that’s been holding me back was unloading the truck. I have a back fusion surgery and will not be able to unload a truck. Will this be a problem? I’ll be able to load up my own items, but that will be enough lifting for me. I am really hoping there are some strapping young men there willing to help.
I don't think you will have an issue at all! Everyone jumps in and unloads the truck, there were people helping other people at the one I went to. It was kind of mythodical! I am sure there will be people there to help. Matt (my husband) was there to help others if needed, but there were so many people there helping others he wasn't really needed.
They have 3 drop locations within 10-15 miles🎉
Yay! That is awesome! There are so many drop locations now than a few years ago!
Azure was out of Kamut for this last order. I am waiting to find it in stock again. :(
Oh no! I hope I didn't order the last bag! It was in stock for my pickup on 3/1 I haven't checked for this next month pickup.
In the meantime, this has always been a great alternative for me for Kamut. amzn.to/42i1oBD
thank you@@GrainsInSmallPlaces
This is a great video. I recently placed an order and in fact our cut off time is tomorrow! I myself was a bit nervous as well. Interested to know what 'Azure Cash' is. Thank you!
Thank you so much! I can't wait until my next order already! Azure cash is basically money you earn towards future purchases. So, sometimes they run sales or give extra Azure cash for things you order. You order items, they give you the cash in your account, and you can use it for part of your next order.
Loved this video! ❤
I am so happy to hear that! Thank you so much!
Hey! I picked up my order today too!!😂
How fun! I was so pleased with the process! Thanks for watching!
Your popcorn makes great corn flour for cornbread.
That sounds yummy! I may need to use an alternative to mill it, because my mill suggests not to use popcorn. But, thanks for the tip!
Great products! Question: Have you done any baking with buckwheat? 🥰
I have not used buckwheat for many things, I haven't experimented much with it. Just makes great pancakes (with my waffles recipe), and muffins!
@@GrainsInSmallPlaces I love buckwheat pancakes also! Do you happen to have a muffin recipe for buckwheat? Thank you 🥰
Hi Kara how far did you have to drive to pick up order? Looks like you’re un Florida. Im in Broward County. Tnx for sharing. Bread Beckers has a co-op program as well. I was so blessed when I found out my pick up location was less than 2 miles away!
How did you like the popcorn?
Sprouts carries Organic non homogenized n low pasteurized w cream on top heavy cream by Kalona Super Natural
It was about 15 minutes for us to pickup the order. Yes, I was impressed with the amount of Nationwide pickup locations! I love to shop at Bread Beckers every time we go through the area, I havent tried their co-op yet.
We LOVE the popcorn, the bag is already more than half gone. I told my family it actually tastes like the popcorn I had as a child, like it actually tastes like popcorn. I don't know if it was the variety, or the fact that it was non-gmo. But, it is amazing, and will be on our next order! Thanks!
I have enjoyed Sprouts when we were in Arizona, but I haven't found many locations around where we have been otherwise. Thanks!
@@GrainsInSmallPlaces there are some in Florida but not a lot yet
Yep exactly, I stay away from all the social media. Yeah I’m on UA-cam but that’s about it. I’m not dabbling in anything anymore.
❤️
Kara do you store your grain with any oxygen absorbers, or do anything else to it to avoid bugs?
No, I don't use oxygen absorbers, but sometimes, when I'm in a really humid area, I will put food grade moisture absorbers in there. I go through it pretty quick! I am fortunate to have not had a bug issue. I pray it stays that way! Thanks for watching! 😊
Azzure currently have kamut OUT OF STOCK, been out for a few weeks now. Just to let everyone know
Oh no! They had plenty when I placed my order, I hope I didn't take the last bag! lol. Hopefully, they will get it back in stock soon. In the meantime, this has been a great alternative for me in the past. amzn.to/42i1oBD
@GrainsInSmallPlaces thank you I have one more place to check, but just so everyone knows kamut is a hard grain to find.
Too funny. Just picked up my 1st order today.
That's awesome! Great timing! lol Thanks for watching!
I love Azure, a very easy order and pick up process. incredibly organized system.
Yes! They definitely have it all figured out! It was so painless, and fun! I don't know why it took me so long to try it! But, I am so glad that I did, because I already can't wait for my next order! Thanks!
Hibiscus makes wonderful jelly
Oh yum! That is a great idea! Thanks so much! 😋
They don't have Kamut anymore. I ordered it a couple times and wanted to get more and they discontinued it. So bummed.
I did hear that they discontinued the Kamut, but the great news is they have Khorasan Wheat now, and it is the same, just not the name brand. I purchased some with my most recent order, and I show the grains if you are interested in that. ua-cam.com/video/imDRg51hFT0/v-deo.htmlsi=Yd6X06K0JOv1g1WT
Azure is the best and very addicting...lol..i buy more and more all the time
Yes! I don't know why it took me so long to order from them! I am pleased with the process and my purchases. I can't wait to order my next one already! 😊
Does anyone know if there is something similar to this in Ontario? Azure is not available in Canada and probably would be an issue to buy in NY and bring over the border.
I have not heard of anything, I am sorry. Maybe someone in the comments will know and can reply with a better answer.
Are you required by UA-cam to show your router to your Azure pickup. They know your area etc.
UA-cam doesn't require to show area. I do travel for a living, so my pickup location will change often.
What is Kamut. Is it considered an oily wheat
I don't think it is oily, no. It is one of the largest of the wheat berries. I did a short on it if interested. ua-cam.com/video/1nhQrd0j_RA/v-deo.htmlsi=0egGmGUhjNQ7k9Cv
I also have some written info on the wheat berry verities on my blog here if interested. grainsinsmallplaces.net/wheat-berries-varieties/
It's an ancient grain that hasn't been genetically modified. Kamut flour comes in both white and whole grain flours. I used to bake with it exclusively but slacked off on my baking in the last year.
What the shipping cost. I cinfused.
Azure works in a different way, where you meet the Delivery truck at a assigned destination with others from your area. So, it is not delivered to your door. Each Co-op has a bit of a different way of charging. So, if you go on the website and find a drop point near you, it will give you the fee. The ones I have used have been an 8% fee on my purchase, and that covered shipping to the drop point. But, it can be different in some areas. Here is my link to Azure Standard to find the closest drop to you www.azurestandard.com/?a_aid=7df0fb364f
Hiiiiii 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Hi! Thanks for watching!
I stop using garlic salt I just use garlic powder n fresh I make garlic pucks n infused oil with garlic
Yes, fresh garlic tastes so much better, but my kids like to have a quick, easy garlic bread snack that they can make without me there. So, it's a nice convenience item! 😉
@GrainsInSmallPlaces have them use granulated garlic or powder to watch salt intake it's shocking how much salt consumed daily n don't even realizing. lije my kids live everything bagel n FULL of salt
my daughter brings me Redmond from utah
That's awesome! 😊
I wish other countries did this sort of thing, specifically the UK 😞
Me too! I am sorry to hear that. ❤️ Thanks for watching!
Great Azure but personally the FAKE NAILS don't go well with great healthy foods-sorry
These are my own nails, that grow quickly because of the goodness in the fresh milled flour! I only cook for my family, so no worries about sharing. Thanks for watching.
Too many commercials
Sorry you feel that way, UA-cam has it's way of adding those in there, it's out of my control. I believe UA-cam has a monthly subscription you can watch without ads.
