Grinding the whole grain of a cereal fresh means the maximum „yield“ of nutrients. If, on the other hand, you buy extracted flour from the supermarket, you are buying a product that is significantly less healthy. Whole grain flour contains about 1800 mg of minerals per 100 grams of flour, while an extract flour type 405 contains only 405 mg of minerals per 100 grams of flour.
Fresh wholemeal flour also satiates longer and performs an important function for regulated digestion. The dietary fiber prevents constipation and reduces the risk of diseases of the large intestine. Whole grains are one of the most important sources of dietary fiber in our domestic diet.
