Montina was a brand name of flour created from milled Indian ricegrass (Achnatherum hymenoides), a type of grass native to the western United States.
Indian rice grass was grown and used by Native Americans as much as 7,000 years ago.
Indian ricegrass was grown by local farmers and processed at individually owned and dedicated gluten-free plants.
Its development coincided with a national interest in diverse flour types in the early 2000's.
As of around 2016, Motina was no longer being sold in stores, and the few mills producing it had closed.
