EASY TO READ TEXT OF THIS PAGE. The type of wheat we grow on the farm depends on the climate. Winter Wheat is grown in temperate climates, such as here in the UK. It is planted in Autumn and harvested in the late Summer. Because of its longer growing period, it tends to give higher yields per hectare. Spring Wheat is usually sown in March and harvested in September. Its shorter growing season gives lower yields per hectare and consequently a higher protein (gluten) content. This makes the Spring wheat varieties we grow at BROW FARM more suitable for bread flours.n. Wheat Grains For Milling Our Milling Wheats were grown last year on the fertile farm land of West Lancashire. It is then pre-cleaned and if needed dried to a moisture content of 14%. Then it is stored in large bins. When the wheat is wanted it is put though a cleaner were the dust is removed and the wheat is sifted. The whole wheat grains are then packed in bags ready to be shipped. What’s In A wheat Grain? To understand the benefits associated with milling grain, you need to understand what comprises a whole grain. There are three main layers: the bran, the germ, and the endosperm. The bran is the outer layer where all the roughage that helps move unwanted poisons and toxins through your system is found. The bran also contains numerous vitamins, minerals, and proteins. The germ is the health center of the grain, overflowing with vitamins B and E, as well as unsaturated fat and protein. The endosperm is the starchy white center. Whole grains contain almost 90% of all the vitamins, minerals, and protein you’ll ever need. However, commercially milled products don’t offer you those nutrients. Why? Once milled, the oils found in the bran and germ oxidize and turn rancid within 72 hours. So for commercial purposes, both the bran and germ—and all the nutrients contained within them—must be removed in order to give products a shelf life. Bread Is Made of What? The endosperm is all that’s left of the original grain. So you’re basically eating gluten and starch when you eat products off the shelf. For PR purposes, you’ll see breads and cereals claiming to be “enriched with vitamins and minerals!” Don’t be fooled. The fact that a product needs enriching is a sign of how much of its health value has been diminished. Usually only 2-4 of the missing vitamins and minerals can be replaced anyway, and nothing can be done to replace the fiber and protein. Health Benefits Although the nation is currently experiencing low-carb mania, fresh whole grain products are in fact good for you. They are low in fat, high in protein, and provide energy for your muscles and body. High fiber found in whole grains helps in the management of obesity, diabetes, hemorrhoids, stroke, and heart attacks. Eating whole-grain foods on a regular basis has been shown to decrease risk for heart disease and high cholesterol levels, and is also thought to lower the risk of breast and colon cancer. Most commercial products reek with preservatives, and bleaching agents. When milling your own flour, you’re able to mill only the amount you need, so nothing goes to waste and you are left with fresh-tasting, chemically unaltered flour. Taste After eating bread prepared from grain you mill yourself, there is no going back. Commercial products will taste stale, even if they’re “fresh” off the shelf. Freshly milled breads can have a variety of taste depending on which grains you chose to mill. There’s fun in experimenting with different grains in your recipes. Try adding or combining buckwheat, spelt (good for people with wheat allergies), oats, rye, wheat, quinoa, millet and many other grains for a never-ending variety of taste. serif" Question: Does milling and baking your own grains take a little longer than grabbing a loaf off the shelf? Answer: Yes. But not that much longer, and the payoff in taste and health benefits more than makes up for it. Don’t let yourself be intimidated by the thought of milling your own grain. These days, grain mills come in a variety of sizes, are simple to use, and are adaptable to the average household, meaning you can buy big or small units depending on your needs. Plus, they eventually pay for themselves in money saved on buying commercial products. Getting Started Today when we struggle to find time to fit in the washing, walking the dog, get the kids to rugby and football practice, the suggestion we mill our own grain may sound far-fetched. But today’s grain mills make the process easy, and the benefits associated with milling your own grain are tangible and ongoing. Investigate different types of grain mills, or find a friend or co-worker who owns one and ask to give it a whirl. Experiment with a recipe or two, and you’ll quickly understand why so many people are choosing to take the time to pamper themselves with freshly milled, homebaked goodness 2kg = £11.00 FREE Delivery. 10kg = £14.90 FREE Delivery. 20kg = £18.80 FREE Delivery. Buckwheat Grains For Milling Buckwheat is native to Russia. It is not an actual grain, however, but an herb belonging to the same family as sorrel and rhubarb. Flour made from buckwheat seed is used to make pancakes in the United States, pasta in Italy, soba in Japan and kasha in Russia. Use buckwheat in breads, cereals, side dishes, pancakes and salads. Because it contains very little gluten it is a good alternative for individuals allergic to that protein substance. Buckwheat is high in all eight essential amino acids as well as calcium and vitamins E and B. 2kg = £11.70 FREE Delivery. 10kg = £15.45 FREE Delivery. 20kg = £19.95 FREE Delivery.
