FRESH FLOUR MAXIMIZES NUTRIENTS

Our diversified Unsifted Blends allow for an enhanced range of nutrients in every bite.  Wheat berries alone have 40 of the 44 key essential nutrients for life.  Isn't that amazing? However, fresh flour begins oxidizing as soon as it is cut or milled. Several of the precious nutrients begin to oxidize as soon as they are exposed to air. Fresh flour can lose up to 90% of its nutritional value after just three days. We recommend milling flour on an as-needed basis to maximize the nutritional benefit, rather than milling ahead. The baking process locks in the nutrients (vitamins, amino acids, enzymes, etc.), with minimal nutritional loss thereafter.

In addition, whole grains are made to survive – they are even designed to survive your digestive track (think of corn). The tough exterior (the bran) is like a shield for the precious seed. Milling breaks down that protective bran and maximizes the surface area of the grain, therefore maximizing the nutrients your body has access to. The good news, is milling is SO easy!
