Hemp Flour

Sicilian hemp seed flour, stone ground

The superfood with a hazelnut aroma: protein-rich, nutritious, and with an intense, tantalizing flavor.

Hemp Flour from the Crisafulli Mill

Molino Crisafulli's Hemp Flour is a precious superfood made from hemp seeds grown in Sicily. Higher in protein than conventional flours and lower in calories (about 20% fewer), it's rich in beneficial fatty acids like Omega 3 and Omega 6, as well as fiber, magnesium, potassium, iron, and zinc. It also contains vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant. It's therefore ideal for those following a low-calorie diet or needing a higher protein intake. In addition to its nutritional benefits, it adds flavor to recipes thanks to its intense flavor, while its light, tantalizing aroma is reminiscent of hazelnuts. Stone-ground, it's the product of the short, organic supply chain of Molino Crisafulli, a pioneer of edible hemp in Sicily. For breadmaking, it should be mixed with other flours, 5 to 20%, to facilitate kneading.
 
 
 

The roots of this flour lie in ancient Sicilian hemp

Hemp has a very ancient history in Sicily and throughout Southern Italy: until the middle of the last century, it was cultivated along waterways, primarily for straw and the production of highly prized ropes and fabrics. Then, for historical and regulatory reasons, this valuable crop was almost entirely abandoned. Molino Crisafulli was among the first to systematically bring it back to Sicily, starting the first experimental crops in 2016. These crops are now growing thanks to collaborations with CREA, the Experimental Station for Graniculture, and the University of Milan, as part of the Semincanta project. Today, hemp has a wide range of uses, from food to the cosmetics industry. Grown organically in rotation with ancient grains, hemp fights weeds, is drought-resistant, and stores large amounts of CO2: a sustainable crop with a bright future and deep roots.
