Fresh milled flour is in it's purest state.

With all of the latest diet trends, many seem to have placed a negative stigma on bread. However, what most people have been eating are really refined, fast-process breads that don’t have any nutritional value.

 When your take the time to mill your own flour, depending on what grains you will  use and which kind of bread you’ll make, you will get a very unique flavorful, really digestible, and highly nutritious loaf of bread in the end.

In freshly milled flour the bran is packed with fiber and the wheat germ is the vitamin and mineral rich embryo of the kernel. Wheat germ is full of vitamin B6, folate, thiamin, zinc, magnesium, manganese, and vitamin E. Commercially milled flour removes 30% of the wheat kernel, inadvertently removing the most nutritious part of the grain to make a fluffy white flour.

This is why cereals and breads at the store have a nutrition labels that boast "fortified with iron, thiamine, etc..." They took out the natural nutrients and replaced it with man-made dupes.

Fresh milled flour can contain 40 of the 44 nutrients that the body needs. Once milled, flour begins to slowly oxidize and degrade. Oils can turn rancid, and vitamin levels decline. Even when stored properly, nutrients decrease over time.

Repeated studies have documented the benefits of whole grains, including:

• Type 2 diabetes risk reduced by 21-30%

• Stroke risk reduced by 30-36%

• Heart disease reduced by 25%

• Healthier colon reducing the risk of colorectal cancer

• Better weight maintenance

• Prevents gallstones

• Reduces the risk of asthma

• Reduction of inflammatory disease risk

• Less gum disease and tooth loss

• Eases digestive disorders

• Slows the build up of plaque in arteries

• Lowers triglycerides

• Lowers blood pressure

• Improves insulin control

Freshly milled flour gives baked goods greater depth of flavor, creamier texture, more body and better flavor.

I have the NutriMill Harvest and I love it! I got it on sale. They have sales on the website on and off. I like that I can adjust the finest of the flour as I need it.
