Milling Flour

I think I got my first grain mill in either 2007 or 2009. I cannot remember . . ok. I was wrong. I found this blog post. I got it in 2008.

We’ve had mostly homemade bread since 2008 so for almost 16 years, we’ve had bread made from truly whole grains. When anyone has asked me . . “why do you do it?”, I would simply say “It’s much more healthy” but I had no idea how much healthier til I watched Sue Becker’s video last night.

For years and years I’ve heard of Sue Becker and I have a couple of her whole grain cookbooks but when I found her video yesterday and started watching it, I was shocked to learn of ALL the benefits. She is amazing and so knowledgeable. I encourage you to watch that video if you have ever even thought about milling your own flour.

I started watching the video yesterday and thought . . Vince needs to see this so I stopped and we watched it together last night. Vince isn’t easily impressed (don’t even ask how he ended up with me for a wife!) but he was impressed with Sue Becker. He said “She does a great job and explains it all so well!”

I don’t want to preach but, if you have ever thought about milling your own healthy, whole grain flour, take a look at that video. It may be just enough to have you ordering a grain mill.

And, the first grain mill that I ordered (mentioned in the blog where I ordered it) is not the one I use today so if you want my opinion on grain mills, let me know. I’ll be happy to share my thoughts about grain mills.
