There are so many reasons why it is important to use fresh milled flour for baking... nutrition being at the top of the list. Did you know grocery stores need flour to have an extended shelf life and in order to do so the flour is stripped of the most nutritious parts? Not only this, but flour in general starts to lose nutritional value within days of being ground. Makes you wonder what nutrition (if any) we are receiving from store bought flours!
When you grind your own fresh flour before baking you are ensuring all nutritional value is intact. You will consume every part of the grain and therefore reap the health benefits that come along with it such as prevent cardiovascular disease, stroke, heart attacks and clogged arteries!
Your fresh milled grains will taste better and you will be saving money as well! Grains and legumes can be purchased in bulk for a great discount and stored away until ready to mill. The freshness will not be lost if stored properly.
