The Value of Shipping & Handling Organic Ingredients

Organic products are growing in popularity, and more buyers are becoming aware of why they should choose organic ingredients. At Bremer Ingredients, we’re proud to be officially certified to handle and ship organic bulk ingredient products. With this certification, we now supply organic flour, organic oil, and organic wholesale vinegar to bulk ingredient buyers. Learn about organic products, certifications, and the benefits of going organic to determine if organic bulk ingredients may be right for your needs.

What are Organic Products?

Organic products are products free from certain chemicals and additives that can be found in other non-organic foods. Non-organic products may contain synthetic chemicals and genetically modified components to make the products last longer or grow in certain environments. Organic products eliminate human-made pesticides and fertilizers, so they grow naturally, provide more nutrition, and support self-sustaining resources on organic farms.

 Why is an Organic Certification Required?

 If you’re growing, handling, or distributing foods, there are strict standards set by the U.S. Department of Agriculture to guarantee organic products are up to the standards to officially be labeled as organic. At Bremer, we value quality and integrity when distributing bulk ingredients. Becoming formally certified to handle our new organic flour, oil, and vinegar products guarantees our buyers are receiving quality, organic bulk ingredients.

Why Buy Organic Ingredients?

Organic ingredients can be of interest to many buyers for a wide variety of reasons. Buyers looking for less processed ingredients to eliminate the chances of human-made pesticides and chemicals may find appeal in buying organic. If you’re a buyer looking to improve sustainability practices, buying bulk organic ingredients can help achieve this goal due to the self-sustaining environmental benefits of organic agriculture. Research also suggests that organic products contain more nutrients compared to non-organic products, including antioxidants and vitamins. The preferences of buyers can also come into play, as some believe organic ingredients create a better taste and freshness than non-organic products.

The Importance of Sweeteners in Cannabis Edibles

A more discreet and healthy way to consume cannabis, marijuana-infused edibles have become popular since their legalization in states across America. From baked goods to gummies to drinks, sometimes you can’t even tell these products have cannabis in them! Why? It’s all thanks to one key ingredient: sugars and sweeteners.

What Sweeteners Are Used in Edibles?

Depending on the type of edible, a few different sugars or sweeteners can be used in manufacturing. Granulated cane sugar is most popular, as it is the most versatile and can crystallize when hard candies are made. Artificial substitutes, such as maltitol and sorbitol, are also valuable options for sweeteners.

For those looking to steer clear of traditional sugars or artificial sweeteners, there are a few natural alternatives. Products like honey and molasses provide a sweet taste and offer additional health benefits. Bremer Ingredients carries bulk quantities of these products for commercial manufacturers interested in exploring sugar alternatives for edibles.

Why do Edibles Need Sweeteners?

The primary reason sweeteners are such an important ingredient is because, without the right amount of flavoring, edibles can end up tasting a lot like what’s in them. Marijuana extracts like THC or CBD have strong bitter, earthy flavors that sugars and flavorings help mask. Plus, added fats and sugars help preserve the shelf life of edibles and allows them to be sold or stored at room temperature.

How Can Bulk Sweeteners Streamline Edible Manufacturing?

When selecting a sugar product to incorporate into commercially manufactured edibles, it’s important to ensure that it can be used in bulk. High intensity sugar substitutes like Stevia and monk fruit exist as “healthier” alternatives because they’re naturally derived and allow for smaller amounts of sugar in recipes. That said, these products cannot be used in large quantities, which is a concern for large-scale manufacturers. At Bremer, we only offer traditional sugars and sweeteners that can be used in bulk, so you don’t have to worry about disrupting your sugar ratio — or running out.


Sugars and sweeteners are key to every edible manufacturer, so it’s important you’re getting the best ingredients at reasonable prices. We distribute everything from cane sugar to sorbitol to molasses, so you can get the ingredients you need in time to keep making quality products. For information on our industries, products, and distribution, contact us — we’re happy to help!

The Best Spices & Seasonings for Fall Baking

The weather’s getting cooler, the leaves are changing colors, and the fall season is in full swing. What better time to perfect your apple pie recipe — or finally try making the pumpkin scones you’ve been craving? Make the most of your baking this season by incorporating some of the best spices and seasonings for fall.

Which Spices & Seasonings to Use in the Fall

Fall typically emulates warm and cozy feelings, and while those sensations don’t directly translate to taste, they do often inspire a certain spread of foods. Pumpkin breads, cinnamon rolls, or apple crisps — to name a few — are all best made with a few certain spices that help create pleasant, homey feelings.

  • Cinnamon is a popular spice derived from the inner bark of a cinnamon tree. It is typically used in both sweet and savory dishes as a form of sweet to bittersweet flavor.
  • Best used fresh, nutmeg has a sweet and spicy flavor that works well alongside cinnamon and adds an extra kick to baked goods.
  • Cloves come from the dried flowers of a clove tree and add a rich, deep flavor to a variety of bakery favorites.
  • A good addition to anything from cupcakes to cookies, vanilla offers a sweet and mouth-watering flavor to baked goods.

The Value of New Flavors in Different Seasons

No matter the time of year, spices help to enhance a food’s flavor, color, and overall taste. However, we often associate different sensations with the changing seasons and the dishes we cook tend to reflect this shift. Fall and winter prompts warm and cozy feelings, which makes us more inclined to revisit our favorite soup or bread recipes. With their warm, earthy qualities, spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove fit easily into fall-inspired dishes.

Adding Fall Spices & Seasonings to Your Baked Goods

While some fall-inspired recipes already include these seasonings, they don’t have to be in order for you to add them to your dish. Seasonings can be used in a variety of ways, whether they change the entire flavor of a recipe or simply provide an extra kick of spice. What you decide to incorporate and how much will likely depend on the goal of your dish.

For bakeries looking to elevate their fall flavors and incorporate fitting seasonings into their dishes, Bremer Authentic Ingredients distributes premium bulk ingredients across the Midwest. Whether you’re looking for a wholesale spice supplier or quality bakery supplies, Bremer has what you need. Send us a message to start getting the fall flavors you need.
