"Well, I made the pizza from Mix #5 and it was great. I served it to our family and everyone gasped when I ate it too. They thought is was wheat! Now I don't have to make double stuff. Love the system of mixes that go together to make anything I want. And the fact that they have nutrition added is a real plus for me. Pretty reasonable too for what is in it." Joy B. North Carolina

"Just wanted to write to you and say I love that your flours taste so good in my baking. They work right and let me bake from scratch again." Pamela W. New York City

Hi, Just letting you know that I finally tried the pasta flour (Fine Flour Mix #3) and it worked far better than my expectations. It was fast, easy and delicious. I was in a hurry, so I just rolled it out and sliced it into Fettuccini. I made half a batch and it still made enough pasta for four servings, so Janet and I will be eating it again tomorrow. Thanks again. You sure have brightened up my life." Brian G. (Mix #3 also makes great cake and is used as a dusting mix)

Bread, artisan bread and buns, that's what I like! Your sprouted brown bread (Mix #6) is delicious. I use your mix as a base now that I have mastered the easy starter recipes. I add caraway seeds, I play with adding your whole grain Mix #4, that is really good, and as I can have gluten free oats, I add some of those to it sometimes. Thank you, please tell me you are going to keep going... I know what it is like when you start up a small business out of love like you did, but now you have me hooked, so please, please keep up the good work. Trina, you told me you have more ideas coming, let me know, my tummy is ready!" Carol C. Toronto

IBC Blending Processes
processing with IBC blending

IBC Mixing and blending is key to assuring the integrity of Astoria Mills gluten free mixes. IBC processes assure more accurate blends compared to traditional ribbon blenders.

Another benefit of IBC blending is that it eliminates the need for powder transfer to and from the blender, reducing the risk of escaping dust caused by unnecessary transfers and eliminating the risk of segregation during mixer discharge. An IBC containing formulated ingredients is simply loaded into the blender and tumbled at a given duration and speed to achieve suitably blended material. After blending, the IBC container is either stored for future processing, taken directly to the next process step, or packaged.

Recent technologies offer many advantages, including improved production flexibility and efficiency resulting from the decoupling of the formulation-mixing-packing process chain. These technologies also improve product quality greatly, leading to cleaner production facilities and the elimination of cross-product contamination.
