Preserving Nutrition Through Tradition

The Whole Story

To make superb whole grain flour, no modern technology can match the Old World engineering of a stone mill. Our beautiful stone grinding mills are much like the ones used during early Roman times. These quartz millstones ensure the most nutritious parts of the whole grain remain, so we can pack wholesome goodness right into your bag.

Our millstones grind at a slow speed and cool temperature, creating nutritious, quality foods that are minimally processed, just as nature intended. For optimal freshness, store our whole grain flours and meals in a cool, dry place. They keep best refrigerated or frozen after opening.

It's amazing to think that something as simple as a whole grain can pack so much energy and vitality. Sure, they may look innocent enough from the outside, but the real magic lies within.

One of the most common questions we get asked is, 'What's the difference between a whole grain and a processed grain?' Put simply, a processed grain is missing some of its most nutritious parts, whereas a whole grain contains all of its nutritional health benefits.

Processed grains lack both the bran and the germ, making them void of dietary fiber, iron, and B vitamins. Whole grains, on the other hand, include all three parts, offering nutrients like fiber, complex carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, fatty acids and antioxidants. All these nutrients work in harmony to provide health benefits that are greater than the sum of their parts. We won't go so far as to call it nature's magical elixir, but it's not far off.
