But seriously, why should you consider switching to fresh milled flour? Fresh milled flour is the way our ancestors got their flour all those years ago, and it was the only way. It wasn't until the last couple hundred years that flour changed, and not for the better.

Until the 1800s, all flour was milled in the home or at the miller in town. Only the wealthiest could afford to buy flour at the local grocery store. Fast forward and commercialization of flour changed everything. Commercial millers started realizing there was a greater profit margin if they only used part of the wheat kernel for commercial flour and sold the rest to be used for cattle feed. As a result, humans suffered, and cattle rejoiced. The most nutritious part of the kernel was going to the cattle, and we were left with only the starch of the wheat, extending the shelf life of flour to years vs months at most. You will now find "enriched" flour in the store because the loss of the nutrients that went to the cattle, the FDA required commercial millers to "enrich" their flour artificially with nutrients, instead of the flour providing those nutrients in its natural state, with all parts of the kernel milled.

As a result of commercializing flour milling, our population has only become sicker and sicker. Fresh milled flour provides you with 40 of 44 essential nutrients and doesn't leave you feeling bloated after indulging in fresh bread, homemade cinnamon rolls, fresh rolled pasta, or any other creations you desire to make with it. Every nutrient found in flour is more abundant in its natural state in fresh milled flour than in commercial flour, with the exception of iron, thiamin, riboflavin, and folate, and this is only because of the artificial addition of these nutrients in the commercial flour. Fresh milled flour has 10 TIMES more fiber than store-bought flour, which is only going to positively impact your gut, which is where at least 80% of your immune system lives. If your gut is constantly moving as a result of what you're eating, which is the way it was designed, you are constantly flushing your system out, and you will be healthier as a result. Think of your house plumbing system. If things are backed up in your plumbing system, you are going to be left with unpleasant effects in your home. The same principle is applied to your body. If you are not constantly moving things through your body, ie having 2-3 bowel movements a day, you are going to have unpleasant effects in your body as a result.

Since switching to fresh milled flour, we have eaten more bread, more baked goods, and more carbs overall, but haven't gained a pound, and it's because we've replaced our processed food with real, living, nutrient-rich food that tastes even better than the packaged things. If you aren't sure if this lifestyle is for you, I challenge you to give it a try for a month, taste the difference, and see what happens. I can guarantee you won't regret that month of your life!
