Wheatberries found in the tombs of the pharaohs in Egypt and examined still contained the full range of vitamins and minerals, over 2000 years after it had been harvested!
I love home made bread (especially sourdough with the wife's home made starter) and other baked products made with hand ground flour (from wheatberries) ground ...@ home... because of the nutrition and taste, plus it saves money.
You cannot beat the great flavour of 100% fresh milled flour made into homemade bread or any other type of baked goods. The health benefits from eating whole grains are ….. you reduce the risk of some forms of cancer, digestive system diseases, coronary heart disease, diabetes, and obesity.
Although all-purpose flour in America is nearly always enriched, it has only a fraction of the food value of the whole wheat kernel. Over thirty nutrients are know to exist in the wheatberries, and most of them are removed in the milling process. The bran and wheat germ that has been removed and given to the animal industry. Here is North America we have the healthiest pigs and the sickest people.
When milling your own flour you know that your family is getting all of these essential nutrients and fibre included with nothing added and nothing taken away...... list of just the nutrition in wheatberries.... Thaimin, riboflavin, pyridozine, protein, pantothenic acid, niacin, barium, silver, inositol, folic acid, choline, vitamin E, boron, silicon, sodium,chlorine, calcium, iron, phosphorous, magnesium, potassium, manganese, copper, sulphur, iodine, and fluorine. Compare this to store bought enriched white flour....ADDED...one mineral, iron, and 3 vitamins, niacin, thiamin, and riboflavin.
