Flour ground fresh from wheat grains contains 40 of the 44 essential nutrients our bodies need to function. Modern, processed flour sacrifices many of those essential nutrients for a shelf-stable product.
Industrial flour is rife with compounds that could affect digestion and health (which is why we use organic ingredients in ALL our products.)
Nutrients in whole grains support and strengthen your body's immune system. 60-70% of your body's immune function occurs in the digestive tract. Those nutrients that support immune function begin to dwindle immediately after the flour is ground, due to oxidation. Thus, the importance of fresh-ground, whole flour. No additives. All the nutrients.
The absence of the bran and germ in store-bought flour, the very substances that aid digestion and make flour "whole," can turn flour into an allergen of sorts. Many who experience gluten sensitivities find fresh-milled flour to alleviate their "issues with gluten." Additionally many have gluten sensitivities, not in-part because of flour, but the chemical additives contained in non-organic flour.
*However our breads are not gluten-free and are not recommended for those with Celiac Disease.
