How to Grind Your Own Flour By Hand From Wheat - Bailey Line Life #17

I live in ms, right on the border of Tennessee where Memphis is. In the past year, 1 out of 10 cars I see are from out of state. And in many cases when I'm going to work and back home, there can be a stretch when I see 3 or 4 in a row of out of state car tags. Move, it might just save your sanity and life.

Making it so that you must live there 10 years before voting might help a bit. Make the taxes on a vacation home cost 5X as much, too. Make taxes on those living there full time cheaper after 5 years since the average American moves every 5 years and that weakens society.

[@trijezdci4588]

In Europe when you buy whole wheat flour in a shop, it is indeed actual whole wheat flour, including the endosperm and the bran. It is against the law to sell flour as whole grain flour when the endosperm has been removed. So, your statement may be correct for the United States, but in countries with a strong bread tradition and strong consumer protection this will not apply.

[@hassanalbasirjamal7013]

But then it would need to be highly GMO or added preservatives in order to counteract the low shelf life of the flour. So its still not as ideal as grinding your own flour

[@trijezdci4588]

@@hassanalbasirjamal7013 No GMO food in the EU and preservatives are not permitted in flours either. Stored properly, whole grain flours and grists have a shelf live of about six months, which is plenty long and should never ever become a problem unless you are engaging in wasteful hamster buying, which again is an American thing, not a thing in Europe.

[@hassanalbasirjamal7013]

[@jabohabo3821]

The question that I have for you is how do you deal with the fine bits of stone that you'll find in the flour. Isnt that dangerous? I had read that when stone ground flour mills were popular that they had to contend with the stone powder wearing down their teeth. Does it have to do with the kind of stone used?

[@amariahg5450]

Weaker stones that are rough and more prone to chipping might have that issue, but very hard stones that have such a well refined finish like this generally won't have that problem.

[@genkiferal7178]

the dust (not larger chips or pebbles) are full of minerals and therefore helpful to your body. In the same way, rock dust is awesome in the garden and can make fruit trees fruit like crazy. I got some for free from a guy who worked at a gravel yard and my fig tree went from barely or not producing to weighing down the branches with fruit - but, I also added hardwood ash and that helped a great deal, too. You can supposedly boil a rock in your soup to get extra minerals.

Very cool. Question: You mentioned not storing it for more than a day or two. What happens to it? When making sourdough to get the natural yeast activated it has to ferment for about a week. Any thoughts? Thanks for the comment.

[@greynose5650]

as soon as half an hour after breaking open the kernels in grinding, they start losing nutrients. as long as the wheat berries are not damaged, they keep for a long time, 20 years or so (as long as you don't get weavils in there...) you can start your sourdough starter with the wild yeast from the air and since the flour is then interacting with the yeast in water, not air, I suppose the nutrient loss would be different. Also, you can put mill fresh flour for your loaves, which afaik sit for about a day. That's as fresh as it gets I think!

Good story . . Don't sound like a hard-core prepper. Just one question: i do grind my own wheat as well and there are several, let's say experienced agricultural specialists who are saying that it is better to wait at least 2 weeks before using the flour for baking. Again, they are not sounding like simplists or whatever but serious scientists with experience. They are advising farmers as well as European (also French) companies. Just wondering where you got the idea of using the flour directly after milling. Regards, an European baker grower and wheatlover.

[@baileylineroad]

Good Morning, and thanks for your note. I've never heard anything about letting freshly ground flour sit for a while before using it. There may be some advantage there, but the idea does contradict something else I've heard. The wheat germ in each kernel is a nutritious part of wheat, but it doesn't last long after grinding because of exposure to the air. This is why whole wheat flour that you buy ready-ground is not entirely whole wheat. As I understand it, the germ is removed precisely because it doesn't age well. So manufactured whole wheat is really not completely whole. Now, maybe there is some good reason to let flour sit before using it, and perhaps this has to do with baking qualities. Have you heard the reasoning behind the two week recommendation? Bye for now, and thanks for watching! Steve

[@willemdederde6669]

@@baileylineroad Thanks for your clear answer. I will do my best to find out some more and, if informative, i will let you know.

[@HarriElr]

Letting a freshly ground wheat flour sit (oxidise) for a certain amount of time does a few things: Strengthens the gluten structure, helps flour absorb more water, turns it’s yellowish color lighter. But over oxidation can spoil the flour. I don’t know whether 2 weeks is the optimum time as you were told but I think you should experiment with it and find out what you prefer.
