Old Country Style Muesli are perfect to snack on, and our

Do you know someone who
really loves Bob's Red Mill? Make them a Bob Superfan gift basket! Start with a

Bob's Red Mill Logo Apron and our
100% Whole Wheat Flour, the ingredient that started it all!
The Bread Baker
Bread bakers, unite! If you know someone who is eager to bake up beautiful, golden loaves of bread, have we got a gift set for you! Start with our
Artisan Bread Flour and add our
Vital Wheat Gluten to help those loaves rise as high as possible. Speaking of rising, you'll want to include our

If you have an avid cake baker in your life, we've got the perfect gift basket for him or her. Our
Super-Fine Cake Flour produces light, tender cakes with a fine texture, and our
Almond Flour is ideal for all kinds of baked goods. Of course, not everyone has the time to bake from scratch: our

Rotary Sifter is a must for delicate sponge cakes, and our
Parchment Paper Roll keeps baked goods from sticking to the pan.

There's nothing like a warm, comforting bowl of soup to show you care. Why not give a selection of our incredible soup mixes? Our

Make the vegans in your life extra happy with a basket-full of our most delicious (and nutritious) vegan products! Our

Nutritional Yeast, which adds a nutty, cheesy flavor (and B vitamins) to popcorn, sauces and more.
Organic Chia Seeds provide fiber and vital nutrients, and can also be used as an egg replacer! Our
Brown Sesame Seeds add a nutty, slightly sweet flavor to dozens of dishes, plus they're an excellent source of calcium. Protein-packed
Red Lentils are a nutritonal powerhouse and so easy to cook. But what's life without a little sweetness? Our
Chocolate Protein Powder Nutritional Booster is flavored with monk fruit, so it's low in sugar but high in protein, fiber and iron. Plus it's great in smoothies and energy balls!
