Unique Manufacturing Process
ConAgra Mills, the maker of Ultragrain, developed a patented technology that delivers whole grain flour with the same particle size as traditional refined white flour. The Ultragrain milling process retains the fiber, protein, vitamins, minerals and other phytonutrients concentrated within the bran and germ, while yielding whole grain wheat flour with a taste, ultrasmooth texture and appearance more similar to traditional refined white flour.

Ultragrain History
Initially, Ultragrain was available only to food manufacturers and restaurants. As consumer demand for mainstream, whole grain products increased, Eagle Mills saw an opportunity to bring Ultragrain to the consumer market as retail flour.
