Replace White Flour for Better Health
Mill your own wheat berries
Are you a fan of whole-grain bread? Are you concerned about the not-so-healthy preservatives and chemicals in store bought bread? Well, have no fear! With a mill, you can easily grind your own wheat berries into flour right at home. And the benefits don’t stop there – I’m still learning all the amazing things you can do with fresh, homemade wheat flour, but wanted to put it on the radar of other health-conscious mommas.
Whole-grain wheat flour is packed with nutrients that your body needs, like fiber, protein, and vitamins and minerals. It’s also low in sugar and calories, making it a great choice for those watching their waistlines. Plus, it has a lower glycemic index than refined flours, so it won’t cause spikes in your blood sugar levels. Many people report that modern day maladies disappeared from their lives once they replaced breads from store shelves with bread from freshly milled flour. Added bonus of milling your own wheat berries is that you can make bread products with none of the harmful additives found in those things on store shelves.
Milling flour this way is pretty easy, but after watching more and more videos and joining several private Facebook groups, I’m ready to take it up a notch by getting an honest-to-to-goodness grain mill. I have one ordered – well it’s actually backordered. The great reset has really changed how we do life!
So what can you do with all this fresh wheat flour? Well, the possibilities are endless! You can use it to make healthy and delicious breads, muffins, cookies, cakes, pancakes, and so much more. You can even add it to smoothies or use it to make homemade pasta. The sky’s the limit!
