UltraGrain® whole wheat flours

Delicious, nutritious and student-approved

All the benefits of wheat flour with the flavor, texture and color of white flour


Today’s K-12 landscape is more demanding than ever, with expectations of high-performing, health-forward ingredients that deliver nutritional value and taste great. At the same time, K-12 schools are navigating strict nutritional guidelines, incorporating more simple ingredients, working to reduce waste and working to make their operations more efficient, while satisfying students (and parents). UltraGrain® whole wheat flours combine whole grain nutrition with the soft texture, light color, and mild taste students expect from white flour—without compromise.

The answer is Ardent

UltraGrain® makes it simple to meet whole grain requirements—and please students


Premium UltraGrain® flours are made with specific varieties of wheat that are lighter in color for a mild, sweet flavor and superior functionality. Powered by Ardent Mills’ proprietary granulation technology, our flexible portfolio of hard and soft wheat flours delivers the color, flavor and texture of white flour—with the nutrition of whole grains.

UltraGrain® performs well across numerous applications and is designed for broad palate appeal, so it’s easy to meet today’s USDA requirements that 80% of grains served to K-12 students are whole grains. The bonus? No more mixing and storing separate white and whole wheat flours.
