Dear Laura,
The nitrate content in flours is very variable and dependent on the soil and fertilization conditions.
You may get some initial ideas about the variability in a (very old) Danish report from the laboratories of the National Food Agency of Denmark:
Allan Andersen:
Kornprodukter - Sporelementer, pesticider, næringsstoffer, tilsætningsstoffer, nitrat og nitrit, ochratoxin-A og meldrøjer [Cereals and Cereal-Products Trace Elements, Pesticides, Nutrients, Food Additives, Nitrate and Nitrite, Ochratoxin-A and Ergots]
Publikation nr. 93.
Statens Levnedsmiddelinstitut, Centrallaboratoriet, Mørkhøj; Denmark, August 1984.
(sorry about the very long link :)
All the best,
Anders

Dear all,
Does anyone have information on the nitrate content of different flours?
