Not all flours are created equal. Most of the flour sitting on store shelves has been stripped of its most nutritious and flavorful parts during processing. Fresh-milled flour, on the other hand, preserves the whole grain—bran, germ, and endosperm—offering superior health benefits, richer flavor, and better baking results. If you’ve ever wondered about the difference between whole grain flour and processed flour, this post will break it all down and help you decide which option deserves a spot in your pantry.

Have you ever heard of someone milling their own flour and wondered what the big deal is?

It might surprise you (it did us!), but the benefits of milling your own flour are extensive. Fresh-milled flour offers unmatched health benefits, a richer flavor, and is better for your wallet, your pantry, and the environment.
