Bread, it does a body good
Did you know that freshly milled whole grain wheat has 40 of the 44 essential nutrients for life? That's 91% of the types of nutrients our bodies need to thrive! It's also high in antioxidants, protein, fiber, phytochemicals, and minerals. So if freshly milled WHOLE WHEAT is good for us, why is most bread today so bad for us?
It turns out that commercial milling strips the wheat of many key nutrients, making flour (and bread) hard for our bodies to digest. Wheat berries provide essential soluble and insoluble fiber. Freshly milled whole wheat flour also has active enzymes that can have great positive health impacts, as well as minerals and have a total of 40/44 key essential nutrients needed by the body for survival.
Vitamin E is one of these nutrients found in freshly milled whole wheat. The Mayo Clinic says the majority of the population do not get enough in their diets. It is important for “vision, reproduction, and the health of your blood, brain and skin.”
