Note: Milling your own flour allows you to capture the nutrients in the bran and germ of the grain kernel to use in your baking. Grinding your flour as close to the time of baking as possible lets you enjoy the benefit of the vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and other nutrients that are released from the kernel by milling.
