Oh how i love KA flour. Even though i'm over 70 now i can still hear my grandmother and many of her Finnish friends praising, and swearing by, KA. It always came out sounding like they were saying "King Artir floury". Such nice memories. My Dad's uncle was a baker in the United Cooperative Society store for many many years. Like all the Finnish women he also would use no other flour but KA. People from all over the area would come long distances to purchase his breads, rolls and other delicious items but he never gave out his secret ingredients - except for he HAD to use KA flour. I've spent years trying to duplicate his Finnish nisu.. It comes out pretty good but not like his. His sour dough rye bread was a staple for everything but especially to go with stews. Now my granddaughter is interested in baking. She already knows that there is no other flour to use except KA. So the tradition lives on even if the results arent quite the same. Ohh to turn the years back for just a few minutes to be a fly on the wall gathering all his recipes. So glad your company is doing so well, its a treasured part of life both today and "yesterday"! Thanks for sharing your memories here, Nanny - I'm so glad KA has been a part of your family's life. You've made my day! PJH
