Frequently Asked Questions

Gluten and certain grains can be difficult for many people to digest and are often linked to inflammation, bloating, auto-immune conditions, and fatigue. By removing gluten, we create breads that are lighter on digestion, gentle on the gut, and supportive of long-term wellness.

If you are celiac, please note that our products are produced in a dedicated facility; however, none of them are certified gluten-free.

We source our ingredients from organic and organic-standard farms whenever possible. While Forage is not yet certified organic, certification is a future goal.

Our focus today is on ingredient integrity, transparency, and quality. Rather than rushing the process, we’re committed to doing it thoughtfully — without compromising our formulations or standards.

Just as grains protect themselves with their hulls, nuts protect themselves with their hulls as well as their skins. The skins contain lectins, phytates, and oxalates that can be difficult for humans to digest.

Our organic blanched almonds are steam treated to clean and remove their skins, resulting in a fine flour that bakes into soft, delicate crumbs. We choose organic blanched almond flour for its rich, buttery taste and nutrient-dense profile.

Most gluten-free breads rely heavily on refined, high-glycemic starches. Our breads are crafted to fit into a healthier lifestyle by relying on nutrient-rich ingredients such as almond flour and egg whites. This keeps net carbs naturally lower while providing a satisfying, hearty loaf.

We rely on natural, low-glycemic sweeteners that deliver flavor without the crash.

Allulose is a rare sugar found in fruits like figs and raisins that tastes like sugar but has almost no calories and doesn’t spike blood sugar.

Soluble cassava/tapioca fiber is a prebiotic fiber that adds gentle sweetness while supporting digestive health.

Monk fruit is a naturally sweet fruit extract with zero calories, carbs, or bitterness.

By using these alternatives, we craft baked goods that are mindful, wholesome, and keto-friendly while keeping the warmth and taste of traditional baking.

Choosing organic food is the next best thing to growing your own. We believe bringing more clean, delicious, real foods to market helps families understand the value in supporting their well-being by eliminating unnecessary chemicals and providing more available nutrients.

We prioritize organic and seasonal ingredients from trusted local growers and markets whenever possible, while sourcing farther from home when quality requires it.

Breads are best enjoyed fresh at room temperature within a day or two of arriving. For longer storage, refrigerate for up to a week or freeze to preserve freshness.

Cookie doughs freeze well and may also be kept in the refrigerator for 7–10 days or on the counter for a day.

Flours should store comfortably at room temperature for up to 12 months.

For short-term freshness, keep breads in a paper bag or breathable wrap at room temperature. For a softer crust on sandwich breads, store in an airtight container or bag. For longer storage, refrigerate or freeze pre-sliced loaves.

To enjoy later, warm slices in the oven or toaster. For unsliced loaves, place in a 400-degree oven for about 10 minutes to heat and re-crisp the crust.

Our breads are crafted in small batches with premium and organic ingredients — without shortcuts, fillers, or preservatives. Every loaf requires more care, time, and cost to produce compared to mass-market bread.

Many of our grain-free breads made with blanched almond flour are made without refined starches. The Heritage Baker’s Flour uses a small amount of organic arrowroot for texture.

We thoughtfully incorporate heritage grains that are naturally gluten-free, such as sorghum, millet, buckwheat, and white rice, for their nourishment, digestibility, and time-honored role in traditional baking. They offer structure and balance without relying on starch-heavy formulations.
