Re: Digest Number 1117 - Wood Flour sources

Lol, this makes me giggle.

People will get way haughty and turn up their noses at the
possibility of using wood flour but won't bat an eye at eating
boiled chicken guts, blood sausage, bull testicles, pig tendons.

Interesting

Out of a sense of local chauvanism, i have to tell you
that no bread factory in Delaware would dream of using
wood flour in any product for human consumption.

At least, as long as the price of recycled newsprint
and brick dust stay so reasonable.

Jamie,

Maybe you people from 'The Great White North" have a different attitude.
I know some of our older people have to go up there to get meds at a
reasonable cost, then smuggle them 'down South'.

Be that as it may, 'down here' bakers do use the stuff. I can actually
look up 'wood flour' in the local Philadelphia telephone directory and
be referenced to: See "Bakers Supplies". Try that simple expedient, or
consult the Thomas Register (or your Canadian equivalent}. Any library
should have a copy, and you should be able to reach them on-line, as
well. While 'there', why not do a 'google search', too.

pounds may be even more than 10 gallons worth of volume.

I read the same thing, so called a big bread factory here -- I chose
one I whose thought bread most like sawdust anyway (but it has a good
long shelf life!)

I was assured, in the strongest terms possible in polite company,
that they did not use wood flour and to the best of their knowledge,
no other bakery in Canada used it either.

Good luck, let us know if you find a source, but keep your head down
when you ask!
