Why isn't the country of origin on the bag? is it sourced from china? bob's red mill should have a representative answering these questions

These days, it seems everyone is interested in eating locally grown products and buying locally produced goods. You know our products are made here in Oregon, but many of you want to know where the grains are grown. At Bob’s Red Mill, we strive to buy ingredients as close to home as possible. Because of the breadth of items that we offer, sometimes we must look outside of the Northwest and, indeed, outside of the United States for our grains. Some grains simply are not grown in the United States in any appreciable quantity and some grains are best grown in their natural climates (like the mountains of Peru or the cold expanses of Saskatchewan). Here is a rundown of where many of our grains are sourced from to help give you an idea of what we do to bring the best grains to you. Amaranth: India, Peru Buckwheat: United States Chia: Mexico Corn: California Flaxseeds: Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Montana, and North Dakota Hard Red Wheat: Washington and Montana Hard White Wheat: Montana Kamut: Montana Millet: United States Oats: Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and United States Pumpkin Seeds: Oregon Quinoa: Boliva, Peru Rice: California Rye: Saskatchewan Soft White Wheat: Oregon Spelt: Washington Teff: Nevada Triticale: Montana Wild Rice: California Gluten Free This gluten free product was handled exclusively in our dedicated gluten free facility and tested for gluten free integrity in our quality control laboratory using an ELISA Gluten Assay test. Kosher As a continued commitment to the quality of the products we make and sell, all of Bob’s Red Mill products are certified Kosher by OK Kosher Certification of Brooklyn, New York. Vegan All Bob’s Red Mill products are vegetarian. This product is also vegan, meaning it does not include eggs, dairy or honey. What Is Xanthan Gum & Where Does Xanthan Gum Come From? The short, basic version is that Xanthan Gum is a coating from a particular bacteria, Xanthomonas campestris. This bacteria grows a protective coating. Think of it like an orange peel or the skin of an onion. It's a protective layer. When fed a particular food, this bacteria's coating becomes very sticky and makes a great binding and thickening agent in baking. Most commonly, Xanthomonas campestris is fed glucose (sugar) derived from corn, soy, or wheat. The bacteria that grows our Xanthan Gum is fed a carbohydrate substrate produced from Non-GMO corn. xanthan gum ingredientsWhy Use Xanthan Gum? Xanthan gum works well in place of gluten (a protein found in wheat, rye, and barley that some people cannot tolerate). Xanthan gum helps trap the air bubbles created by leavening agents (baking soda, baking powder, yeast) to allow your breads and baked goods to rise. It helps thicken liquids, which is why it is often found in salad dressings and sauces. This thickening action helps hold gluten free baked goods together and keeps them from becoming too crumbly , making it a popular substitute to regular flour when making gluten free goodies. Is Xanthan Gum Gluten Free? Yes, our Xanthan Gum is gluten free. It's grown on Non-GMO corn and packaged in our dedicated Gluten Free Facility. How Is It different from Guar Gum? They're made from two different sources: xanthan gum from a bacteria and guar gum from a seed native to Asia. In the kitchen, there are important differences in using xanthan gum versus guar gum. In general, guar gum is good for cold foods such as ice cream or pastry fillings, while xanthan gum is better for baked goods, especially those that use yeast. Foods with a high acid content (such as lemon juice) can cause guar gum to lose its thickening abilities. For recipes involving citrus you will want to use xanthan
