So would this be able to be used in place of “all purpose flour” in recipes? What about “bread flour”?
This is an excellent question. I might put together a video about this. Yes freshly milled flour can be used in place of all purpose flour. However, the weight is different. Store bought AP has been packed down in its packaging and is very dense. Freshly milled flour is light and fluffy. You need a kitchen scale to weigh your flour versus simply scooping out cups. I know that sounds annoying but this small adjustment is so worth the health benefits!
Bread flour is called that because it is a type of flour better suited to making bread products. In the freshly milled world that is called “hard wheat”. There are tons of different types of wheat berries out there and they all bring different qualities to the table. Hard red and hard white will have the highest protein content and that makes these best suited for bread. Soft white is lower in protein and better for cookies, pastries, etc.
I bought Bob's red mill all purpose unbleached flour for all my baking. Is this a healthful one? I think it is?
@@deeb8733yes, especially if you get their organic unbleached all purpose. That’s one of the brands I purchase.
Yes please make a video about how to substitute fresh milled flour. And how it behaves differently if you have that knowledge. I just got my first delivery of wheat berries from Azure today!

Yes yes yes!!! Isn't it absolutely absurd whats happening to our food!?!? I love your passion and completely agree with you! I'll be saving up for my mill!
COMPLETELY ABSURD! I’m glad I’m not the only one who’s absolutely outraged. I’m so excited for you! Let me know when you get one 😁
Girl, you have no reason to feel bad about anything! I subscribed as soon as you started talking about rolling coins to buy a mill. I agree 💯with you. Husband had a friend who travelled to Paris a lot. He could eat bread in France but not here. He would get sick. I do also. Your honesty and willingness to share is so encouraging! God bless you & yours ! Psalms 37:4 and Jerminah 29:11-13.
Thank you so much! By the way, Jeremiah 29:11 is one of my absolute favorite verses. Thank you for sharing!
Just found your channel, I love your passion and straight forwardness. I fell down the rabbit hole 8 years ago with my son's poor health. When you know better you should do better, especially for your children. 💗
Amen!!
I’ve done years of research on this and feel that you did such a great job in summarizing and explaining some of the history and the why. Thank you! More people need to know this. God bless
Wow, what a compliment! Thank you!
I just discovered this recently and I am on board. I’m trying to educate my friends and family. We eventually pay for “conveniences” one way or another. There is very little flour in shelf bread. It’s mostly stabilizers, preservatives and fillers. Those wreak havoc on the gut. That’s why people have gut problems.
Be passionate! Be vocal! Good for you!!!
Yes I’m so glad you have learned this information and are making positive changes for your family!
Sue Beckers book "The Essential Home Ground Flour Book" is a wonderful resource for anyone looking to bake and use home milled grains. I have baked for decades but only in the last yr or 2 started milling at home and found it VERY informative and useful.
I really want that cookbook! It’s on the list for future purchases.
I wish Sue would address sourdough baking. I’m trying to up the fermented foods I eat.
Yes, yes yes I feel like somebody is speaking my language. I am a holistic practitioner and food matters. Hippocrates said , “let food be thy medicine and medicine be the food..” the doctors today signed his Hippocratic oath, know nothing about nutrition and the healing benefits of micro and macro nutrients vitamins, minerals essential fatty acids polyphenols flavonoids Turpines anthocyanins. I could go on and on but yes, somebody speak in my language. Show your passion and never apologize for it. Do you were here for a reason God has energized you with this passion. Let it go.👊💖🙏
YES! Let’s just keep talking about it and keep spreading the word. More and more people will become interested in this the more our food system degrades.
I don’t think you need to apologize for being worked up, I think it’s good that you’re passionate!! Our health matters!!
Thank you!!
I feel the same way you do about how we are being sold and fed trash I love your passion. I have made many changes and learning more and more each day. I am a new subscriber. we are of like minds and that's who I'd like to keep company with. Sourdough is my new project. Yay. thanks for the informative video.
Thank you so much for subscribing, Joyce! I’m so glad you’ve started down this journey. It’s incredibly fulfilling.
New subscriber because of this video! I'm at the stage in my holistic health journey where I'm figuring out how to make as much as I can from scratch... and now I'm here! And I LOVE your passion! It's why I subscribed. I'm just as passionate about this stuff as you are.
Just the other day, someone said "it's weird that the Bible talks so much about bread: 'bread of life' and 'turn these stones into bread' and stuff" -- and I almost shouted "THAT'S BECAUSE BREAD BACK THEN WAS ACTUALLY HEALTHY, UNLIKE ALMOST _ANY_ OF TODAY'S FOOD!!" 😂😂
Yes I love this!! I’m so glad you’re here. Check out the last two videos I just uploaded. We are always learning new skills around here! Best of luck on your journey. Let me know if you ever have any questions.
I DID IT!!!
Nutrimill has started their Black Friday sales already and the classic grain mill is $100 off right now at $179! (I got the classic because in comparison the Harvest is not capable of grinding corn it says- so no corn meal if that matters to anyone) the harvest grain mill I believe is $80 off right now. But the savings from buying the classic paid for most of my 2 buckets of wheat berries I bought too! I’m very excited to learn how to cook with this- and get those 20+ stolen nutrients BACK into my bread and flour!!
AHHHHH YAY TONYA!! I am SO EXCITED for you to embark on this journey!
Also, thanks for the heads up! I put out an announcement on my Instagram story with links so others will know about this deal!
@tonyapenelton7178 What a great deal on your Nutrimill…!!! I have been using a coffee grinder until I could afford a mill. I just ordered a Mock Mill but it’s back ordered everywhere. Germany will be shipping them out soon. Hopefully I’ll get mine by the end of this month. It was free shipping, no tax in January and I got 10% off. I thought I had a good deal and you got yours for $179! Good for you! I was told I had celiac by my doctor and never had any symptoms. I have an autoimmune disease and have been convinced for years that our food was contaminated. Feel great one day and bad the next. My first loaf wasn’t bad. And looking forward to learning more every time. Sue Becker’s videos are amazing! Sorry…. I can go on too long. It’s exciting…. All the best to you…
@@faithandarrowhomesteadI just found your channel and you have a new subscriber! Your enthusiasm is contagious! Looking forward to watching all your videos. Praying for you trying to have a baby! So happy you’re giving it a better chance at a healthy life. God bless you! ❤
@@TooStinkinFinewow thank you SO much!! ❤️
I ordered the Nutrimill during the sale. Before that I used my Vitamix. Blender and it works amazingly. My Nutrimill said corn is fine. It's on the list. If the stones wear out, they are easy to replace and inexpensive.
I'm a beginner Miller and I am so thankful for your video! I say and took notes like a college kid to remember this info! Thank you so much !
Oh great!! I’m so glad to hear it. Here are some recipes to get you started :)

I have recently started grinding wheat berries to bake with the flour. I too learned a lot from Sue Becker. I was blown away at how great the products taste. I heard that the first things you should do to improve your diet start with seed oils and salt which I have done. Grinding my own grains was my next step.
Oh my gosh, this makes my heart so happy! It sounds like our journeys have been similar. God bless you as you continue down this new path!
Just found your channel, and girl, you are the bomb!!! Just ordered a hand crank mill cuz yours is “currently unavailable”, because I want to get started. What our “food” industry is doing to our good is nothing short of criminal, imo, so don’t stop spreading the word! Blessed be!
Honestly it’s good to have a hand crank mill. It’s on my list to acquire just to have in case. I’m so glad your eyes have been opened and you’re on this journey!
Thank you for your video. I bought a bread maker on Amazon and went to Bread Beckers in Woodstock GA yesterday. For many years I have been convinced that processed sugar and processed wheat are the root of all allergies and deceases common today.
I’m so jealous you were able to go to Bread Beckers in person!!
Love it! At the agave of 26, my daughters health deteriorated to the point of not being able to walk. One of the changes we made is milling our own flour. Game changer. I’m not saying that that alone healed her but it’s allowed her to eat bread products again. After almost 2years of diet and lifestyle changes, my girl is back to about 80%. Working, serving others, exercising, and living. Our processed food was literally killing her.
The other benefit is taste! I cannot eat store bought bread anymore. No flavor at all. My family is spoiled rotten! Love your channel, keep it up. And prayers for you getting pregnant!!
🥹 Wow! Your comment gave me chill bumps. I am SO GLAD your daughter has improved so much! Is she walking again? And thank you for the pregnancy prayers!!
Yes, yes, yes. I'm with you on what we are being fed. I feel your aggravation, and thank you for this video!! I do not have a mill yet- saving for it. But I do eat organically and grow as much of my own food as possible. I look forward to your other videos.
Great!! Yes keep saving. I took back bottles and cans even to be able to get mine! You got this 😁
You just got a new subscriber!! I bought a mock mill and just got my wheat berries from azure yesterday! It’s so hard to find people who have the same beliefs! Thank you!
Thank you!! I’m so glad you’re here! Best of luck on your milling journey!
Hear! Hear!
LOVE this video!
This video has been needed for so long!
Thank you so much for letting the voice for those who don’t know this!
You’re amazing!
God bless you! ❤
Absolutely!! So many just don’t know. God bless you as well!
I love how "aggressive" you are. It is refreshing. You definitely gained a follower here. Keep up the great videos. 👏 Love that you don't sugar coat! Can't wait to try to talk my hubby into a mill. 😍
Thank you so much, Brittany! Good luck I hope you can get a mill!
💯 Girl, you are a kindred spirit! Well put, concise, easy to digest (haha) information!❤
That made me LOL! Nice little pun 😂 And thank you very much!!
Yes!!! I have been milling for 4 years and it’s life changing. I never buy store bought products with all purpose flour. If we want something I make it with fresh milled flour! I had to scrape and save for my grain mill 4 years ago because we couldn’t afford it but it’s soo worth it!! Wheat berries are cheaper by the pound than all purpose. Long run it saves so much money. I’m so passionate as well and love my fresh milled flour! Sue Becker is absolutely amazing!!
Yes AMAZING!!
You are so wise and right with your words - thank you!
Thank you, Shirley!
I know it’s 8 months after you posted this, however, it had impact! My wife needs to be on a gluten free for a while, I sent your video. We ordered the KitchenAid attachment before your video was over along with grain. Great passion! Hope you and husband are due soon!!
Wow thank you! I am SO glad you benefitted from this information. No baby yet but hopefully someday! Be blessed both of you ❤️
Excellent information! Thank you ❤
Thank you for sharing all your knowledge and information. I totally agree with everything you said. The truth always hurts at least a little. I just started trying to make everything because I'm fed up with the food shrinking, getting scarce because of a snowstorm or too expensive to buy! I"m turning 60 this year OMG! Never be afraid of the truth! God bless you and yours😇🙏 from one Christian to another. ( yes, I wear a cross too)🥰😘
Thank you so much for sharing!
Totally agree! We switched to fresh mill flour and noticed a great difference in our health! 20 years ago it was hard to find a mill, grains, now, abundance. The stores will be next to carry grains. For now, so many options for the northern states and different sources for the southern states, online. As a lifelong bread baker, took me 5 tries in a learning curve to figure out to use more moisture, less flour, and now great bread products! I remember ordering organic foods out of state 30 years ago, then slowly you saw the products in stores, and now, whole stores dedicated to Whole Foods. The food industry will follow demands. Thank you!
I am also glad to see more availability for quality products!
Just found your channel and subscribed. I really appreciate your fervor on this topic! It’s obvious that you did the research and then presented it in a logical, flowing manner. You’ve convinced me, and I’ll be looking for a grain mill today. I have an older one that is hand-cranked but it’s become too difficult for me to do for very long. Actually, you remind me of me when I was younger and I look forward to not only your new videos but I’ll be looking back at some older ones. Keep up the good work!
Deanna you have blessed me today! Thank you so much for your encouraging feedback. It’s good you have a hand crank mill just in case you can’t use the electric for whatever reason. I will be purchasing a hang crank in the near feature. It’s great to have both!
First time seeing your channel. Love your passion. Thank you for the important information.
Thank you so much!
Love this video - it’s what made me subscribe!
People seem to really be resonating with my rage! 😂🤗 Welcome to my channel, I’m so happy to have you!
I love your passion for life! Thank you❤️
You’re sweet! Thank you :)
Bread Becker’s is how I started milling my own flour. Love baking whole grain ! Real food !
This is the first video I’ve watched of yours and I love your passion for this! I think we are kindred spirits!
Welcome, Heather! I’m happy you’re here! This isn’t the only thing I’m passionate about 😜
Fun fact: The reason why flour started getting stripped of nutrients and tasting worse was from trains becoming standard across the continental US. This allowed for mass production. The more nutrients are pulled out of flour the longer the shelf life. Traditional flour lasted a month before the flavor started to lesson, but this new white flour (what we have in stores today) could last for years without degrading in flavor. During this time cheese production started to be mass produced too which is why mass produced American cheese tastes worse than European cheese, the same as how European flour tastes better than American flour and is healthier, due to Europe's geography being better suited for small batch production.
Very interesting! That makes sense.
Very well put. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for watching :)
i have been researching the benefits for the last month or so then found your video. I bought a koko mio eco and used it the last week. plus just made my first sourdough with fresh milled flour soooo yummy
Great job!!
I love your passion!
Thank you!
When I saw your thumbnail that said "I get upset about this" I clicked SO fast haha! I am also upset about how modern flour is processed, especially after I just learned that most flour in the U.S. is bleached with benzoyl peroxide and goes through another chemical process called bromation...something that has been banned in other countries. My family farms wheat and I knew that it couldn't be the wheat itself that is the enemy because it has many nutrients.
Haha! Thank you for the support! Yes you know a lot about this. I’m trying to spread those facts!
There is unbleached flour. And there are healthier flours available, but nothing is as good as home ground.
Excellent video, I’ve shared with friends. Thanks!
That helps me immensely, Amy! Thank you so much!!
Your mill in Canada is almost $700... OMG, I can't afford that!!! I got a hand metal mill, it takes me 1 hour to grind 2 cups of hard wheat...Lol... All worth it!! I feel the same way you do... Grrrrrrr... But let's not stay upset, and let's cook healthy! God Bless! Chris from Canada!
WOAH!! That’s crazy! I think I paid around $350 for it, which was still so much money for me. $700 is nuts! I APPLAUD you for still milling your grain even though it’s so much work. That’s commitment!
You know, over ten years ago, God showed me to cook everything at home, and I also grow micro greens and do germination of grains and seeds :) Thank you kindly! @@faithandarrowhomestead
@@krzchriscraft3914isn’t it absolutely amazing how present God is in these skills and tasks? It’s a reminder to me that these things are important and can be used to glorify Him.
I just bought the wondermill! I love it!
YAY! Congratulations!
Love you and your views. Keep going strong. God bless you
Thank you!!
Yep! Greed for money & power has become more important than the people in this country. Its very sad.
That’s exactly right!
Your passion and enthusiasm for doing the right things is inspiring! I just finished grinding some rye berries by hand while watching your video. Hand grinding doesn't generate as much heat. I read somewhere that electric grinders affect the flour quality. Hopefully, that's not the case, because I don't want you to have to roll up more coins just to get a new hand grinder. Look it up, though. It is a great arm exercise, too.
I do believe it may affect quality but I think the effect may be negligible. However, I am planning on purchasing a hand crank mill anyway just to be prepared in case we can’t use the electric one for whatever reason.
Keep sending the right messages.
Your amazing so happy to have found you .😊🙌
Thank you so much! I’m glad you’re here!
You are so right. North American/Canadians are a lot overweight. And other countries don’t have the same problems. What your saying makes sense. Good info.
Thank you!
You are right getting all worked up! I get so mad too. It’s unbelievable all the junk in our food. I do all I can in my own house but seems like family get togethers are the worst.
It’s funny you say that. I ate terribly this weekend because we had multiple get togethers and I have felt so terrible!! It’s crazy the difference in how I feel when eat well versus eat bad.
Good luck getting pregnant! I loved the passion and the nutritional information on the wheat berry. I just use a coffee grinder at this time and mix with unbleached store flour add yeast and a little sourdough honey sugar salt and water. It is delicious and much healthier than store bought bread. I wish I'd have been in on grinding wheatberries for flour when my 3 were in the womb. They are now all adults, and I love them so.
I am VERY fortunate to have learned all of this before having any of my children. I recognize that and praise God for it. You can still make them yummy freshly milled treats :) And for any grand babies as well!
Since you have a KithenAid mixer, they do make an attachment for milling that is less expensive than the grain mill. I recently bought one for my mixer so I could start milling my own wheat berries. It's amazing how delish breads taste!
Amazon reviews kept me from getting the kitchen aid attachment.. did you get the kitchen aid attachment or the mockmil one? Is it getting you good results?
@@RedBeardDevelopment I have the Kitchen aid attachment and have used it many times so far. It works great. I have it set for the finest grind and go at half speed.
Thank you girl! Hope you’re already pregnant by now, and wish you good health for life! Thanks bcoz I’m on the road to taking back the responsibility of my family’s health and my own too, after decades of believing the lies and propaganda of commercial ads on tv and the general fake advice given by doctors who didn’t ever learn much of food as health in their programs 😄 but mostly know how to prescribe drugs for every symptom. 😏 finally at my post menopausal age when everything seems to be crashing health wise for me, I’ve finally started to think of making some financially hard choices to invest in my own health and my family’s too. So was wondering if I could even spend this much for a mill. But thanks to you, I’m going to go ahead with the initial hardship money wise, to reap good health for us. God bless 🙏🏼
Hello! Thank you so much for commenting. Not pregnant yet but I have faith! I’m so proud of you for not just desiring a change but MAKING a change! You and your family will be so happy you did. God bless!
I just recently found your channel and I’ve been enjoying your videos so much! First, I wanted to say I’m praying God will bless you with a sweet baby, soon! I also wanted to ask if you could make a video explaining what wheat berries/grains you use, where you buy them, what you recipes you use them in etc. I’ve been eyeing a grain mill but don’t exactly know where to start! 🤎
🥹 This made me tear up. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart ❤️
Yes I will absolutely do that! I do all of my filming on Wednesday and Thursday, so I will film that this week but it likely won’t go up until next week. Keep an eye out :)
@@faithandarrowhomestead can’t wait! 🤗🤎
I love your passion and feel the same way. You have an amazing way of sharing and explaining the process of things that makes it so understandable for some of us beginners. Makes me less intimidated to try new things. Planning to start grinding my own flour and doing my research on grinders. Does Amazon have this grinder for $113? When I click on this link it takes me to the one that is $379. Thank you for all you do to help make this lifestyle change doable ❤
I’m glad you feel I delivered this information well! Unfortunately the mill I chose is very expensive. I got mine on a holiday sale. Wait until Black Friday if you’re interested in the same one! Otherwise there may be other more affordable models.
I’m new to your channel and I don’t think it’s aggression, it’s passion! When I started learning about how messed up America’s food system is I got fired up too! Keep it going!
I like that thank you!
I’m happy that you are so passionate about this , I hope your generation will do the same 👏🏽
I hope so too ❤️
Immediately subbed I got goiter right before covid swollen thyroid I avoided gluten it went down but I did t have this issue when I was a kid . Will def try this I love baking havent baked since I got this autoimmune disease . Cut seed oils.
Thank you for subscribing! Please check out some of my other videos, I have a lot of health related content. I definitely encourage you to try freshly milling your flour and see how your body feels.
I have a goiter too as part of Graves disease. Within the last month I've started milling my own flour - making all bread and pasta from scratch this way. I hope you heal soon. Take care.
I loved this video - I feel like a grain mill is getting bumped up my priorities list lol
I’m so glad this ended up in front of you! You’ll love it. I feel so empowered every time I use it.
Really enjoyed your video. Great passion and energy and supports my own views on why I am milling mine. I am so tired of the junk in our food. And my latest is our water supply. :0
Oh jeeze don’t get me started on the water supply. It can be very overwhelming when you start to discover these various things.
You are awesome! Greetings from Germany ❤️
Wow thank you!!
Yess 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks for sharing! I appreciate your enthusiasm! 😊 I'm curious if you soak and sprout your grains before milling them at all/ever?
Thank you :) No actually I haven’t dabbled in that yet. I understand a bit of the science behind it but haven’t tried it.
Great video! Please don’t apologize for speaking truth!! Praying for a baby for you!!
Thank you!!
Put the health aspect of fresh milled flour aside for a second. The flavor of fresh milled flour is so much better then store bought, it's like night and day. Store bought can't beat it. I bought a Mockmill in 2020 and haven't bought store flour since.
I COMPLETELY agree!!
I own the Mockmill Lino 200, and it's the BEST investment I have ever made! No more store-bought bread, pasta or pizza for me.
Your anger and frustration is well justified. Preach on!
✊🏻
Thank you for this. If you have a kitchen aid you can buy the mill attachment and mill on that right?
Yes you can!
Hi! Thanks for the video, I liked it and found it so helpful! Have you found a brand of peanut butter than you can suggest? Have a good day!
No, sorry :( I buy my peanut butter from a local Amish store. Maybe see if you have a local Amish or Mennonite store around you!
We need more people to know about milling 😁
I am passionate about sharing information like this!
I don’t buy nothing but high quality foods or machines! I feel the same as you on the food system in this country. I will pay anything for clean water and food whole food I’m not buying any iPhone or any of that lol
Your passion is palatable:) I started milling my own grains after Christmas and it is a work in progress! But we really love it! I am somewhat disappointed bc I don't notice the health benifits I was hoping for, eg weight loss n extra energy. Now, we do eat pretty clean already but I was hoping for that little bit that puts u over the top. What differences have you noticed in your own body since you have started using fresh milled?
I’m glad you asked about this because I think the only thing I really noticed was a more regular healthy bathroom routine (#2 specifically) and my blood sugar is more balanced. I don’t feel hangry anymore. I hear all these stories about peoples lives being changed and it wasn’t that dramatic for me. But I’m curious, how is the rest of your diet? I’m also a huge advocate for cutting out seed oils and I started there. That was a NIGHT AND DAY difference in my health. I lost weight, my migraines completely went away, I was able to come off my anxiety medicine and haven’t had any panic attacks, I feel so much more… alive and awake. Real bread has continued to help me and improve my health but the seed oils is what changed my life.
Here’s a video on seed oils if you don’t know what I’m talking about.

Thx for replying, n I will check out the video! The only store bought oil i use is a good olive oil. Other than that, it's either butter or our own beef tallow n pork lard.
More washroom breaks, yes, for sure:) Maybe we have not been at it long enough to notice the xtra energy I was hoping for.
@@snoopypeanut8938that is always the reply I get from people when I bring up seed oils. Unfortunately seed oils are in EVERYTHING. I have decided to cut them out completely because I am on a pregnancy journey but that is very extreme. Once you discover just how much seed oil you are consuming, it will change your life. And yes keep at the freshly milled flour. It will make a difference in the end.
you're my kind of gal
I have the original article that Sue Becker mentioned in one of her video. I found it and printed it. If you’re interested tell me. Especially for those who have ears to hear!
Oh wow that’s amazing!
God bless you.
And you as well ❤️
Always a good idea. But are higher quality and wholemeal flours not available retail?
No unfortunately not. They are marketed that way but you can’t purchase true freshly milled flour from the store. If they are selling full intact flour without the bran and germ sifted away, it has long since oxidized and gone rancid. True, full, intact freshly milled flour starts to oxidize as soon as you mill it. Their is no store bought version that comes close, from a nutritional standpoint, to flour milled fresh at home and used right away.
I love your passion. However I'd like to make a point if order. Yes, Industrial Seed Oils like the large modern flour mills, remove the benefits of seed/nut oils and add harmful synthetic preservatives to increase shelf life. But there is a new emergence of small batch seed & nut oils that retain the benefits without the harmful additives. Of course, like freshly milled whole wheat berries, it's not shelf stable for an extended period of time.
True and depending on which type it can’t be heated either. Which is what most people do with seed oils, heat them.
4:21 they want to sell us on the idea that processing the wheat berry down to the endosperm alone is cheaper overall than milling it as is.
Well I’m sure they make a lot more money due to the white flour being more shelf stable.
@@faithandarrowhomestead i think its consumer driven, like the ⅓lb burger selling worse than ¼lb burger because too many buyers though ⅓lb was LESS meat. They will acquiesce to the dumb consumer, even if it's a worst deal overall
I sold my blood to get mine. Worth it.
Wow that is dedication!
Awe sweetie you are a woman after my own heart! Im a 69 year old woman who has studied nutritional science and naturopathic healing since I was 16. I knew a lot about the History of whole wheat for years but never knew that using it fresh milled is not just delicious but has more nutrients than store bought whole wheat. Plus milling wasn't really an option in my younger years. I never really liked the taste of store bought whole wheat flour and now I know why! If its on the shelf it's going rancid! Even organic. I'm angry too that we have been dooped and taken advantage of in our food and medical industry. It's always about profits and never about doing what's caring and good. I started fresh milling as soon as I learned the whole truth 4 months ago. Yes, bird food is good! LOL! I did that the other day when my bread dropped from over proofing.
Wow I had not heard I can store freshly milled flour in the freezer! Thank you.
@@faithandarrowhomestead It's OK for about 3 months in freezer. But I only put any leftovers in there. Which isn't usually more than a half cup or less at a time. God bless you!
Thank you for sharing this! I had no idea. I’m buying a grain mill now 😅
And PS. Are you related to Sarah Therese???? You look and sound so much like her to me. If not, she’s definitely your twin haha

😂 If you, me & Taylor were in a room together, we would talk & get loud for hours! Or days! The topics you are passionate about, we are too!
I hope we can be in the same room together someday! I would love to meet you both ❤️
I feel this! After my mom had cancer I did a lot of research and I’m horrified by the lies, or more like greed and profit, behind what’s in some of the stuff we consume and when it started. I was cheering when you brought up fluoride in toothpaste. We’re being poisoned all the time.
Yep... we've been duped ⛔
Hi. With whole barley grain do I buy the hulled one or pearl. I don’t want to loose any health benefits and I’m new to this
Hi I am happy to help! You definitely wanted the hulled and NOT the pearl. The pearl is partially processed and therefore has started to decline in nutrition. The hulled is missing the outer hull but the bran is still intact which preserves a lot of the nutrition.
Thank you thats awesome@@faithandarrowhomestead
Do grain mills exist with millstones that do not leach out materials into the flour ?
You’d have to do your research into each individual mill. I’m not sure specifically.
Do you have recommendations of recipes for using freshly mulled flour?
Yes, I have a few on my website.
Bread bowls: faithandarrowhomestead.com/freshly-milled-bread-bowls/#recipe
Drop Biscuits: faithandarrowhomestead.com/freshly-milled-sourdough-drop-biscuits/
And then I have a few more that are also sourdough but I don’t know if you do sourdough baking. Feel free to peruse around my website 🤗
Did she say she paid $113.00 for her million machine? I would like to know where she bought it for that price.
Your passion is nice. But doesn’t the wheat have to be grown in rich soil to have all of those nutrients. Where do we get the wheat from?
The same could be said for absolutely everything we consume. That’s a whole separate topic. The health benefits of freshly milled versus conventional white flour doesn’t change. Even if you do start with a wheat berry that is nutritionally diminished compared to what it would have been 50-100 years ago, the fact remains that processing it to get white flour strips away whatever nutritional benefit may have been present.
I have a “dumb” question. With the mill, do you just purchase the wheat berries and then literally put them in and grind up and then use? Is it really that simple? How long after grinding should you use the flour before it goes bad? Thank you
No such thing as stupid questions with this kind of thing! Yes, it is literally that easy! I put whatever bowl I need the flour in under the spout, and grind away! I don’t have an exact number for you as far as time, but you want to use it ASAP. Grind it as you need it, don’t pre-grind a bunch of flour and try to store it.
@@faithandarrowhomestead thanks so much!! Have a great day!
@@amycanon9919 Asked my wife about storage since she is the one that does the grinding. I grow it and she cooks it. She said it last a day or two at room temperature, but will last a week if kept in the fridge. Really you get use to knowing how much you need and grinding it fresh. The oils go rancid pretty fast. But the grains will last for years.
@@faithandarrowhomesteadI grind as much as I will use right away. If you have any left over, Sue Becker said it will keep its nutrients in the freezer for up to 6 months.

Thank you so much!!
Is Azure the only place to purchase wheat berries for flour?
No. Check and see if there is a Bread Becker co-op in your area. I’ve heard people have good luck with Amazon and then of course, look around locally to see if anyone is growing wheat in your area.
My first purchase was from Amazon because I didn't know where to get berries from. Once I started watching Grains and Grit channel, she recommended Azure Standard (very affordable). I bought 25# this month! If there is an Amish community close to you, they may sell it too.
Thank you. I don’t order anything from Azure. I was hoping there were other options out there.
Many health food stores have wheat berries.
Where do you buy the wheat?
I get my wheat berries from Azure Standard and Country Life Foods
Hahahah throw it outside. The birds will eat it. 😂😂❤
Say less sis I’m going to start saving my coins thanks for the info
Yay!!
One thing to remember is: Stop eating white flour! If you can't afford a grain mill yet, don't let that stop you from eating whole grains. Wheat berries,farro, barley can be cooked like rice. You'll get the good nutrients in while waiting to afford your grain mill.
Excellent information! Thank you for sharing
Most folks have blenders and they can use that to initially make flour.
Yes! Good idea .

I mill my berries and make sourdough, regular bread and not going back.
Yes, yes, yes! Congratulations on taking back control of your health and food! ❤️
Its not easy to find a mill. Im getting to the point where ill be grinding up outmeal to make oat flour until i can find something to grind wheat berry
Oh jeeze! The one I have has been unavailable for awhile but this one is in stock

In your opinion what wheat berries is best for bread?
Hard red or hard white will give you the best rise and I like adding a little spelt, I love the flavor.
@@faithandarrowhomestead thank you. Great video
