This is an excellent question. I might put together a video about this. Yes freshly milled flour can be used in place of all purpose flour. However, the weight is different. Store bought AP has been packed down in its packaging and is very dense. Freshly milled flour is light and fluffy. You need a kitchen scale to weigh your flour versus simply scooping out cups. I know that sounds annoying but this small adjustment is so worth the health benefits! Bread flour is called that because it is a type of flour better suited to making bread products. In the freshly milled world that is called “hard wheat”. There are tons of different types of wheat berries out there and they all bring different qualities to the table. Hard red and hard white will have the highest protein content and that makes these best suited for bread. Soft white is lower in protein and better for cookies, pastries, etc.
Yes please make a video about how to substitute fresh milled flour. And how it behaves differently if you have that knowledge. I just got my first delivery of wheat berries from Azure today!
Girl, you have no reason to feel bad about anything! I subscribed as soon as you started talking about rolling coins to buy a mill. I agree 💯with you. Husband had a friend who travelled to Paris a lot. He could eat bread in France but not here. He would get sick. I do also. Your honesty and willingness to share is so encouraging! God bless you & yours ! Psalms 37:4 and Jerminah 29:11-13.
Yes yes yes!!! Isn't it absolutely absurd whats happening to our food!?!? I love your passion and completely agree with you! I'll be saving up for my mill!
I just discovered this recently and I am on board. I’m trying to educate my friends and family. We eventually pay for “conveniences” one way or another. There is very little flour in shelf bread. It’s mostly stabilizers, preservatives and fillers. Those wreak havoc on the gut. That’s why people have gut problems. Be passionate! Be vocal! Good for you!!!
Been preaching this for years! Glad to see a young woman with this much passion about the topic. Ultra processed foods are killing us. Milling our own flour is a HUGE start down the right path. Keep up the good work.
I DID IT!!! Nutrimill has started their Black Friday sales already and the classic grain mill is $100 off right now at $179! (I got the classic because in comparison the Harvest is not capable of grinding corn it says- so no corn meal if that matters to anyone) the harvest grain mill I believe is $80 off right now. But the savings from buying the classic paid for most of my 2 buckets of wheat berries I bought too! I’m very excited to learn how to cook with this- and get those 20+ stolen nutrients BACK into my bread and flour!!
AHHHHH YAY TONYA!! I am SO EXCITED for you to embark on this journey! Also, thanks for the heads up! I put out an announcement on my Instagram story with links so others will know about this deal!
@tonyapenelton7178 What a great deal on your Nutrimill…!!! I have been using a coffee grinder until I could afford a mill. I just ordered a Mock Mill but it’s back ordered everywhere. Germany will be shipping them out soon. Hopefully I’ll get mine by the end of this month. It was free shipping, no tax in January and I got 10% off. I thought I had a good deal and you got yours for $179! Good for you! I was told I had celiac by my doctor and never had any symptoms. I have an autoimmune disease and have been convinced for years that our food was contaminated. Feel great one day and bad the next. My first loaf wasn’t bad. And looking forward to learning more every time. Sue Becker’s videos are amazing! Sorry…. I can go on too long. It’s exciting…. All the best to you…
@@faithandarrowhomesteadI just found your channel and you have a new subscriber! Your enthusiasm is contagious! Looking forward to watching all your videos. Praying for you trying to have a baby! So happy you’re giving it a better chance at a healthy life. God bless you! ❤
I ordered the Nutrimill during the sale. Before that I used my Vitamix. Blender and it works amazingly. My Nutrimill said corn is fine. It's on the list. If the stones wear out, they are easy to replace and inexpensive.
I’ve done years of research on this and feel that you did such a great job in summarizing and explaining some of the history and the why. Thank you! More people need to know this. God bless
Oh great!! I’m so glad to hear it. Here are some recipes to get you started :) faithandarrowhomestead.com/freshly-milled-bread-bowls/ faithandarrowhomestead.com/freshly-milled-sourdough-drop-biscuits/
Love it! At the agave of 26, my daughters health deteriorated to the point of not being able to walk. One of the changes we made is milling our own flour. Game changer. I’m not saying that that alone healed her but it’s allowed her to eat bread products again. After almost 2years of diet and lifestyle changes, my girl is back to about 80%. Working, serving others, exercising, and living. Our processed food was literally killing her. The other benefit is taste! I cannot eat store bought bread anymore. No flavor at all. My family is spoiled rotten! Love your channel, keep it up. And prayers for you getting pregnant!!
🥹 Wow! Your comment gave me chill bumps. I am SO GLAD your daughter has improved so much! Is she walking again? And thank you for the pregnancy prayers!!
I have recently started grinding wheat berries to bake with the flour. I too learned a lot from Sue Becker. I was blown away at how great the products taste. I heard that the first things you should do to improve your diet start with seed oils and salt which I have done. Grinding my own grains was my next step.
You have such a passion for milling and using FMF. It's so very important and the bread is so good. I just started milling this year and I'm 66. So, to anyone out there who's on the fence, don't wait, jump in and start now. You will be so glad knowing you're feeding your family and yourself wholesome nutritious food. All the wonderful things to make are limitless.
Yes!!! I have been milling for 4 years and it’s life changing. I never buy store bought products with all purpose flour. If we want something I make it with fresh milled flour! I had to scrape and save for my grain mill 4 years ago because we couldn’t afford it but it’s soo worth it!! Wheat berries are cheaper by the pound than all purpose. Long run it saves so much money. I’m so passionate as well and love my fresh milled flour! Sue Becker is absolutely amazing!!
Just found your channel, and girl, you are the bomb!!! Just ordered a hand crank mill cuz yours is “currently unavailable”, because I want to get started. What our “food” industry is doing to our good is nothing short of criminal, imo, so don’t stop spreading the word! Blessed be!
Honestly it’s good to have a hand crank mill. It’s on my list to acquire just to have in case. I’m so glad your eyes have been opened and you’re on this journey!
Totally agree! We switched to fresh mill flour and noticed a great difference in our health! 20 years ago it was hard to find a mill, grains, now, abundance. The stores will be next to carry grains. For now, so many options for the northern states and different sources for the southern states, online. As a lifelong bread baker, took me 5 tries in a learning curve to figure out to use more moisture, less flour, and now great bread products! I remember ordering organic foods out of state 30 years ago, then slowly you saw the products in stores, and now, whole stores dedicated to Whole Foods. The food industry will follow demands. Thank you!
Hear! Hear! LOVE this video! This video has been needed for so long! Thank you so much for letting the voice for those who don’t know this! You’re amazing! God bless you! ❤
Hi there! I'm so grateful to have found your channel. I came across grounding your own flour on Instagram and decided to venture to TH-cam with my notebook and pen to learn more. You did not disappoint! Knee-deep in my health and wellness era, even more so after losing my dad to cancer. I have come a long way, and still feel like I know nothing at all! Thank you for taking your time and energy to produce this. Just a reminder that there are so many 'little people' like me who appreciate it so much!
When I saw your thumbnail that said "I get upset about this" I clicked SO fast haha! I am also upset about how modern flour is processed, especially after I just learned that most flour in the U.S. is bleached with benzoyl peroxide and goes through another chemical process called bromation...something that has been banned in other countries. My family farms wheat and I knew that it couldn't be the wheat itself that is the enemy because it has many nutrients.
You are right on. Everything you talked about is exactly the way it is. I freshly mill flour to make sourdough breads muffins, cookies etc. etc. now and I find that we no longer have sugar cravings. When your body cells are nourished with nutrient dense foods they feel satiated. I have lost 20 pounds and am at my perfect weight without even trying. I eat until I am satisfied and I have not put any weight back on. We need to make significant nutritional changes as we are killing ourselves with our foods - especially the commercial dead breads. It is very easy to start this process - just be willing to spend a bit of time learning the basics. You will not be disappointed. I will be sending this to many loved ones. Thank you.
Thank you for sharing all your knowledge and information. I totally agree with everything you said. The truth always hurts at least a little. I just started trying to make everything because I'm fed up with the food shrinking, getting scarce because of a snowstorm or too expensive to buy! I"m turning 60 this year OMG! Never be afraid of the truth! God bless you and yours😇🙏 from one Christian to another. ( yes, I wear a cross too)🥰😘
This video came up on my feed a couple of weeks ago. It sent me into a major spiral of research on milling grains at home. I just got my mill and grains yesterday. Thank you!
I feel the same way you do about how we are being sold and fed trash I love your passion. I have made many changes and learning more and more each day. I am a new subscriber. we are of like minds and that's who I'd like to keep company with. Sourdough is my new project. Yay. thanks for the informative video.
Just found your channel, I love your passion and straight forwardness. I fell down the rabbit hole 8 years ago with my son's poor health. When you know better you should do better, especially for your children. 💗
Been milling for 3 months now. Feel healthier and my daily bread tastes fantastic. Been using Great River, organic hard red spring wheat. Using a Sana grain mill and I highly recommend it.
I love how "aggressive" you are. It is refreshing. You definitely gained a follower here. Keep up the great videos. 👏 Love that you don't sugar coat! Can't wait to try to talk my hubby into a mill. 😍
Your passion and enthusiasm for doing the right things is inspiring! I just finished grinding some rye berries by hand while watching your video. Hand grinding doesn't generate as much heat. I read somewhere that electric grinders affect the flour quality. Hopefully, that's not the case, because I don't want you to have to roll up more coins just to get a new hand grinder. Look it up, though. It is a great arm exercise, too.
I do believe it may affect quality but I think the effect may be negligible. However, I am planning on purchasing a hand crank mill anyway just to be prepared in case we can’t use the electric one for whatever reason.
Sue Beckers book "The Essential Home Ground Flour Book" is a wonderful resource for anyone looking to bake and use home milled grains. I have baked for decades but only in the last yr or 2 started milling at home and found it VERY informative and useful.
Immediately subbed I got goiter right before covid swollen thyroid I avoided gluten it went down but I did t have this issue when I was a kid . Will def try this I love baking havent baked since I got this autoimmune disease . Cut seed oils.
Thank you for subscribing! Please check out some of my other videos, I have a lot of health related content. I definitely encourage you to try freshly milling your flour and see how your body feels.
I have a goiter too as part of Graves disease. Within the last month I've started milling my own flour - making all bread and pasta from scratch this way. I hope you heal soon. Take care.
Yes, yes yes I feel like somebody is speaking my language. I am a holistic practitioner and food matters. Hippocrates said , “let food be thy medicine and medicine be the food..” the doctors today signed his Hippocratic oath, know nothing about nutrition and the healing benefits of micro and macro nutrients vitamins, minerals essential fatty acids polyphenols flavonoids Turpines anthocyanins. I could go on and on but yes, somebody speak in my language. Show your passion and never apologize for it. Do you were here for a reason God has energized you with this passion. Let it go.👊💖🙏
YES! Let’s just keep talking about it and keep spreading the word. More and more people will become interested in this the more our food system degrades.
New subscriber because of this video! I'm at the stage in my holistic health journey where I'm figuring out how to make as much as I can from scratch... and now I'm here! And I LOVE your passion! It's why I subscribed. I'm just as passionate about this stuff as you are. Just the other day, someone said "it's weird that the Bible talks so much about bread: 'bread of life' and 'turn these stones into bread' and stuff" -- and I almost shouted "THAT'S BECAUSE BREAD BACK THEN WAS ACTUALLY HEALTHY, UNLIKE ALMOST _ANY_ OF TODAY'S FOOD!!" 😂😂
Yes I love this!! I’m so glad you’re here. Check out the last two videos I just uploaded. We are always learning new skills around here! Best of luck on your journey. Let me know if you ever have any questions.
I just watched Sue's videos a day or two ago and my wife and I immediately bought a mill. I'm a true Celiac, yes, biopsies, blood tests, genetic tests... all came back positive. My biggest question is... are the health benefits from home milling going to be as pronounced if I use grains other than wheat to bake my bread products???? Love your video! Hopefully by now you have the baby you've been trying for!! keep up the good work!! Can't wait to watch more!!! Rob
I’m sorry about your diagnosis. I’m not well versed on flour alternatives but whatever you use, the fresher the better I think will be standard from a nutritional standpoint. Once milled, I imagine the degradation begins and works faster versus its non-milled state. Always mill what’s needed and no more.
I would love to mill my own flour, since coming to American I have got fat with so many ailments I never had before. I suffer from severe acid reflux and stomach swelling. I Can most of our food and do my own baking but unfortunately a mill is way out of my price mill, I’m a senior and I just can’t do it. But I am so pleased for you and hope you can continue your journey.
It’s true that the mills are so expensive! I purposely shared this video now because Black Friday and Cyber Monday are coming up. Hopefully there are some good sales.
Thank you, Jaylea, for explaining why we should eat freshly milled flour! Your explanation was so simple and easy to understand, and the graphics really helped. As a beginner, I found your explanation so straightforward that even a two-year-old could understand. Keep up the great work!
Since you have a KithenAid mixer, they do make an attachment for milling that is less expensive than the grain mill. I recently bought one for my mixer so I could start milling my own wheat berries. It's amazing how delish breads taste!
Amazon reviews kept me from getting the kitchen aid attachment.. did you get the kitchen aid attachment or the mockmil one? Is it getting you good results?
@@RedBeardDevelopment I have the Kitchen aid attachment and have used it many times so far. It works great. I have it set for the finest grind and go at half speed.
I have a similar setup as you, ice blue kitchenaid i've had for 8 years and still going strong, and I got a mockmill 2 years ago and let me tell you, my kids rave about my bread. I mess up a lot but my kids still love it haha. Oh and it was Sue Beckers Bread of Life video that did it for me. I was so on board as well as a bunch of my girlfriends / homeschool moms, there were 4-5 of us that ended up buying our own mills that winter :D
Yes, yes, yes. I'm with you on what we are being fed. I feel your aggravation, and thank you for this video!! I do not have a mill yet- saving for it. But I do eat organically and grow as much of my own food as possible. I look forward to your other videos.
You just got a new subscriber!! I bought a mock mill and just got my wheat berries from azure yesterday! It’s so hard to find people who have the same beliefs! Thank you!
I just ran across your video today. It’s so exciting to see how passionate you are about real nutrition and real bread from freshly milled wheat. I’m on the same page-we’ve been lied to and taken advantage of by the food (& drug) industries. Three years ago I found Bread Beckers and I haven’t looked back. Good for you, darlin’!! (P.S. I’m probably old enough to be your grandmother. 😊)
Thank you so much for commenting! I hope you’ll stick around. I love having others with more time/knowledge than me participating in the comment section of my videos. It can really benefit others.
Thank you for your video. I bought a bread maker on Amazon and went to Bread Beckers in Woodstock GA yesterday. For many years I have been convinced that processed sugar and processed wheat are the root of all allergies and deceases common today.
i have been researching the benefits for the last month or so then found your video. I bought a koko mio eco and used it the last week. plus just made my first sourdough with fresh milled flour soooo yummy
This is my first time visiting your channel. You are very well spoken 😊. I’m wanting to get a mill soon. I tried using my blendtec which kind of worked but a mill will be much better. Thanks for the info!
Good luck getting pregnant! I loved the passion and the nutritional information on the wheat berry. I just use a coffee grinder at this time and mix with unbleached store flour add yeast and a little sourdough honey sugar salt and water. It is delicious and much healthier than store bought bread. I wish I'd have been in on grinding wheatberries for flour when my 3 were in the womb. They are now all adults, and I love them so.
I am VERY fortunate to have learned all of this before having any of my children. I recognize that and praise God for it. You can still make them yummy freshly milled treats :) And for any grand babies as well!
Hello! I am researching before purchasing my grain mill & so thankful to see your video!!! YOU HAD ME 1:06 EXPLAINING THE 3 PARTS OF THE WHEAT BERRY! 🤩 Liked & Subscribed!!! I love & appreciate your passion & willingness to share your knowledge! THIS IS MY KIND OF CHANNEL!!! God bless you, richly!!! 💛 I will be investing in me & my family’s good health!!! 🥰
Your mill in Canada is almost $700... OMG, I can't afford that!!! I got a hand metal mill, it takes me 1 hour to grind 2 cups of hard wheat...Lol... All worth it!! I feel the same way you do... Grrrrrrr... But let's not stay upset, and let's cook healthy! God Bless! Chris from Canada!
WOAH!! That’s crazy! I think I paid around $350 for it, which was still so much money for me. $700 is nuts! I APPLAUD you for still milling your grain even though it’s so much work. That’s commitment!
You know, over ten years ago, God showed me to cook everything at home, and I also grow micro greens and do germination of grains and seeds :) Thank you kindly! @@faithandarrowhomestead
@@krzchriscraft3914isn’t it absolutely amazing how present God is in these skills and tasks? It’s a reminder to me that these things are important and can be used to glorify Him.
The discovery of malnutrition was by Army doctors observation of the new recruits for WWII, they saw 30% were. Yet when questioned the recruits seemed to consume sufficient quantities of food. Hence the law requiring refortification requirements for all grains was established. Sourdough is even better for your body. I got the mill attachment for the mixer you have. Works great! During the pandemic mills were impossible to get. I got a coffee mill and only ground wheat thru it, worked great too.
Just found your channel and subscribed. I really appreciate your fervor on this topic! It’s obvious that you did the research and then presented it in a logical, flowing manner. You’ve convinced me, and I’ll be looking for a grain mill today. I have an older one that is hand-cranked but it’s become too difficult for me to do for very long. Actually, you remind me of me when I was younger and I look forward to not only your new videos but I’ll be looking back at some older ones. Keep up the good work!
Deanna you have blessed me today! Thank you so much for your encouraging feedback. It’s good you have a hand crank mill just in case you can’t use the electric for whatever reason. I will be purchasing a hang crank in the near feature. It’s great to have both!
I’m new to your channel and I don’t think it’s aggression, it’s passion! When I started learning about how messed up America’s food system is I got fired up too! Keep it going!
Love the passion in this video. I am right there with you. I want to have a child as well but you know at my age I have been told I am too old. but then I am like well look at people like Janet Jackson who had a baby at 50, so nope. but knowing how to eat better I feel does help. thank you so much for this information. love it!
New subscriber. Been totally on board with whatbyou are speaking about...our health/food. Good for you. People have no idea. We need to wake up to the fact that all " manufactured " food is trash
I know it’s 8 months after you posted this, however, it had impact! My wife needs to be on a gluten free for a while, I sent your video. We ordered the KitchenAid attachment before your video was over along with grain. Great passion! Hope you and husband are due soon!!
I’m 100% with you! Same boat! Pissed off at big food and big pharma and I’m broke and I still manage to search for deals to get healthy food for me and my family. And I just got a manual grain mill on FB marketplace for half the price! So I’ve started milling my own grain and I get a work out lol double healthy haha
Your passion was inspiring. How long will your own ground flour last before it spoils. We have had a grain mill for 10 years but it's always been for things we need right then. Never to store. Also subbed
Thank you for subscribing! I never store freshly milled flour. I always mill right as I need it but I do have a friend who mills it ahead of time and keeps it in the freezer. That does help extend the shelf life but still, the nutrients decrease rather quickly after milling.
You are right getting all worked up! I get so mad too. It’s unbelievable all the junk in our food. I do all I can in my own house but seems like family get togethers are the worst.
It’s funny you say that. I ate terribly this weekend because we had multiple get togethers and I have felt so terrible!! It’s crazy the difference in how I feel when eat well versus eat bad.
Thank you girl! Hope you’re already pregnant by now, and wish you good health for life! Thanks bcoz I’m on the road to taking back the responsibility of my family’s health and my own too, after decades of believing the lies and propaganda of commercial ads on tv and the general fake advice given by doctors who didn’t ever learn much of food as health in their programs 😄 but mostly know how to prescribe drugs for every symptom. 😏 finally at my post menopausal age when everything seems to be crashing health wise for me, I’ve finally started to think of making some financially hard choices to invest in my own health and my family’s too. So was wondering if I could even spend this much for a mill. But thanks to you, I’m going to go ahead with the initial hardship money wise, to reap good health for us. God bless 🙏🏼
Hello! Thank you so much for commenting. Not pregnant yet but I have faith! I’m so proud of you for not just desiring a change but MAKING a change! You and your family will be so happy you did. God bless!
Really enjoyed your video. Great passion and energy and supports my own views on why I am milling mine. I am so tired of the junk in our food. And my latest is our water supply. :0
I just recently found your channel and I’ve been enjoying your videos so much! First, I wanted to say I’m praying God will bless you with a sweet baby, soon! I also wanted to ask if you could make a video explaining what wheat berries/grains you use, where you buy them, what you recipes you use them in etc. I’ve been eyeing a grain mill but don’t exactly know where to start! 🤎
🥹 This made me tear up. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart ❤️ Yes I will absolutely do that! I do all of my filming on Wednesday and Thursday, so I will film that this week but it likely won’t go up until next week. Keep an eye out :)
It is true for every country - if you are in a situation where you can, you should grow as much of your food as you can yourself and process as much of the food you need also yourself. Getting out with plants has so many benefits, which is way beyond just having fresh produce, its antidepressants, its cultivating understanding of how nature works, its a sense of security because in time you know what you are doing and how to approach problems, and of course its way more healthier to eat own food and its incomparably tastier.
I love your passion and feel the same way. You have an amazing way of sharing and explaining the process of things that makes it so understandable for some of us beginners. Makes me less intimidated to try new things. Planning to start grinding my own flour and doing my research on grinders. Does Amazon have this grinder for $113? When I click on this link it takes me to the one that is $379. Thank you for all you do to help make this lifestyle change doable ❤
I’m glad you feel I delivered this information well! Unfortunately the mill I chose is very expensive. I got mine on a holiday sale. Wait until Black Friday if you’re interested in the same one! Otherwise there may be other more affordable models.
Your passion is palatable:) I started milling my own grains after Christmas and it is a work in progress! But we really love it! I am somewhat disappointed bc I don't notice the health benifits I was hoping for, eg weight loss n extra energy. Now, we do eat pretty clean already but I was hoping for that little bit that puts u over the top. What differences have you noticed in your own body since you have started using fresh milled?
I’m glad you asked about this because I think the only thing I really noticed was a more regular healthy bathroom routine (#2 specifically) and my blood sugar is more balanced. I don’t feel hangry anymore. I hear all these stories about peoples lives being changed and it wasn’t that dramatic for me. But I’m curious, how is the rest of your diet? I’m also a huge advocate for cutting out seed oils and I started there. That was a NIGHT AND DAY difference in my health. I lost weight, my migraines completely went away, I was able to come off my anxiety medicine and haven’t had any panic attacks, I feel so much more… alive and awake. Real bread has continued to help me and improve my health but the seed oils is what changed my life. Here’s a video on seed oils if you don’t know what I’m talking about. th-cam.com/video/1cyGj8_8NAA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=-iAyzYHfA0EbCLdJ
@@faithandarrowhomestead Thx for replying, n I will check out the video! The only store bought oil i use is a good olive oil. Other than that, it's either butter or our own beef tallow n pork lard. More washroom breaks, yes, for sure:) Maybe we have not been at it long enough to notice the xtra energy I was hoping for.
@@snoopypeanut8938that is always the reply I get from people when I bring up seed oils. Unfortunately seed oils are in EVERYTHING. I have decided to cut them out completely because I am on a pregnancy journey but that is very extreme. Once you discover just how much seed oil you are consuming, it will change your life. And yes keep at the freshly milled flour. It will make a difference in the end.
I love your passion. However I'd like to make a point if order. Yes, Industrial Seed Oils like the large modern flour mills, remove the benefits of seed/nut oils and add harmful synthetic preservatives to increase shelf life. But there is a new emergence of small batch seed & nut oils that retain the benefits without the harmful additives. Of course, like freshly milled whole wheat berries, it's not shelf stable for an extended period of time.
What a very informative video! It was the motivation I needed to just go ahead and buy a grain mill and some wheat berries. Being very new though, one thing I don't understand, why is it that I can go to Walmart and buy King Arthur flour for $1/Lb but if I want to buy wheat berries they're anywhere from $2.50 and up for 5 Lbs. I feel like I'm being scammed. Why do I have to buy 50lbs just to get berries for the same price per Lb as flour which has been way more processed. ~Perplexed in Pensacola
Wheat berries are often sold in larger quantities because less people purchase them. You can purchase processed flour in all sorts of shapes and sizes because that’s what the mass majority are looking for. Also, the wheat berry itself is two products in one. When they process it into white flour, the bran and germ are sold as a separate product. If a company is just selling the wheat berry whole, they’re making less money on it overall. That may contribute to the price difference.
@@faithandarrowhomestead Ok, that makes sense. BTW I've been a big Dave Ramsey fan for the last 25 years and attribute my success to the biblical principles he teaches. You won't regret it.
I have a “dumb” question. With the mill, do you just purchase the wheat berries and then literally put them in and grind up and then use? Is it really that simple? How long after grinding should you use the flour before it goes bad? Thank you
No such thing as stupid questions with this kind of thing! Yes, it is literally that easy! I put whatever bowl I need the flour in under the spout, and grind away! I don’t have an exact number for you as far as time, but you want to use it ASAP. Grind it as you need it, don’t pre-grind a bunch of flour and try to store it.
@@amycanon9919 Asked my wife about storage since she is the one that does the grinding. I grow it and she cooks it. She said it last a day or two at room temperature, but will last a week if kept in the fridge. Really you get use to knowing how much you need and grinding it fresh. The oils go rancid pretty fast. But the grains will last for years.
@@faithandarrowhomesteadI grind as much as I will use right away. If you have any left over, Sue Becker said it will keep its nutrients in the freezer for up to 6 months.
@@faithandarrowhomestead i think its consumer driven, like the ⅓lb burger selling worse than ¼lb burger because too many buyers though ⅓lb was LESS meat. They will acquiesce to the dumb consumer, even if it's a worst deal overall
No unfortunately not. They are marketed that way but you can’t purchase true freshly milled flour from the store. If they are selling full intact flour without the bran and germ sifted away, it has long since oxidized and gone rancid. True, full, intact freshly milled flour starts to oxidize as soon as you mill it. Their is no store bought version that comes close, from a nutritional standpoint, to flour milled fresh at home and used right away.
So would this be able to be used in place of “all purpose flour” in recipes? What about “bread flour”?
This is an excellent question. I might put together a video about this. Yes freshly milled flour can be used in place of all purpose flour. However, the weight is different. Store bought AP has been packed down in its packaging and is very dense. Freshly milled flour is light and fluffy. You need a kitchen scale to weigh your flour versus simply scooping out cups. I know that sounds annoying but this small adjustment is so worth the health benefits!
Bread flour is called that because it is a type of flour better suited to making bread products. In the freshly milled world that is called “hard wheat”. There are tons of different types of wheat berries out there and they all bring different qualities to the table. Hard red and hard white will have the highest protein content and that makes these best suited for bread. Soft white is lower in protein and better for cookies, pastries, etc.
I bought Bob's red mill all purpose unbleached flour for all my baking. Is this a healthful one? I think it is?
@@deeb8733yes, especially if you get their organic unbleached all purpose. That’s one of the brands I purchase.
Yes please make a video about how to substitute fresh milled flour. And how it behaves differently if you have that knowledge. I just got my first delivery of wheat berries from Azure today!

Girl, you have no reason to feel bad about anything! I subscribed as soon as you started talking about rolling coins to buy a mill. I agree 💯with you. Husband had a friend who travelled to Paris a lot. He could eat bread in France but not here. He would get sick. I do also. Your honesty and willingness to share is so encouraging! God bless you & yours ! Psalms 37:4 and Jerminah 29:11-13.
Thank you so much! By the way, Jeremiah 29:11 is one of my absolute favorite verses. Thank you for sharing!
Yes yes yes!!! Isn't it absolutely absurd whats happening to our food!?!? I love your passion and completely agree with you! I'll be saving up for my mill!
COMPLETELY ABSURD! I’m glad I’m not the only one who’s absolutely outraged. I’m so excited for you! Let me know when you get one 😁
I just discovered this recently and I am on board. I’m trying to educate my friends and family. We eventually pay for “conveniences” one way or another. There is very little flour in shelf bread. It’s mostly stabilizers, preservatives and fillers. Those wreak havoc on the gut. That’s why people have gut problems.
Be passionate! Be vocal! Good for you!!!
Yes I’m so glad you have learned this information and are making positive changes for your family!
Been preaching this for years! Glad to see a young woman with this much passion about the topic. Ultra processed foods are killing us. Milling our own flour is a HUGE start down the right path. Keep up the good work.
Yes agree!!! I’m glad you’re sharing this info with others as well.
I DID IT!!!
Nutrimill has started their Black Friday sales already and the classic grain mill is $100 off right now at $179! (I got the classic because in comparison the Harvest is not capable of grinding corn it says- so no corn meal if that matters to anyone) the harvest grain mill I believe is $80 off right now. But the savings from buying the classic paid for most of my 2 buckets of wheat berries I bought too! I’m very excited to learn how to cook with this- and get those 20+ stolen nutrients BACK into my bread and flour!!
AHHHHH YAY TONYA!! I am SO EXCITED for you to embark on this journey!
Also, thanks for the heads up! I put out an announcement on my Instagram story with links so others will know about this deal!
@tonyapenelton7178 What a great deal on your Nutrimill…!!! I have been using a coffee grinder until I could afford a mill. I just ordered a Mock Mill but it’s back ordered everywhere. Germany will be shipping them out soon. Hopefully I’ll get mine by the end of this month. It was free shipping, no tax in January and I got 10% off. I thought I had a good deal and you got yours for $179! Good for you! I was told I had celiac by my doctor and never had any symptoms. I have an autoimmune disease and have been convinced for years that our food was contaminated. Feel great one day and bad the next. My first loaf wasn’t bad. And looking forward to learning more every time. Sue Becker’s videos are amazing! Sorry…. I can go on too long. It’s exciting…. All the best to you…
@@faithandarrowhomesteadI just found your channel and you have a new subscriber! Your enthusiasm is contagious! Looking forward to watching all your videos. Praying for you trying to have a baby! So happy you’re giving it a better chance at a healthy life. God bless you! ❤
@@TooStinkinFinewow thank you SO much!! ❤️
I ordered the Nutrimill during the sale. Before that I used my Vitamix. Blender and it works amazingly. My Nutrimill said corn is fine. It's on the list. If the stones wear out, they are easy to replace and inexpensive.
I’ve done years of research on this and feel that you did such a great job in summarizing and explaining some of the history and the why. Thank you! More people need to know this. God bless
Wow, what a compliment! Thank you!
I'm a beginner Miller and I am so thankful for your video! I say and took notes like a college kid to remember this info! Thank you so much !
Oh great!! I’m so glad to hear it. Here are some recipes to get you started :)

Love it! At the agave of 26, my daughters health deteriorated to the point of not being able to walk. One of the changes we made is milling our own flour. Game changer. I’m not saying that that alone healed her but it’s allowed her to eat bread products again. After almost 2years of diet and lifestyle changes, my girl is back to about 80%. Working, serving others, exercising, and living. Our processed food was literally killing her.
The other benefit is taste! I cannot eat store bought bread anymore. No flavor at all. My family is spoiled rotten! Love your channel, keep it up. And prayers for you getting pregnant!!
🥹 Wow! Your comment gave me chill bumps. I am SO GLAD your daughter has improved so much! Is she walking again? And thank you for the pregnancy prayers!!
I have recently started grinding wheat berries to bake with the flour. I too learned a lot from Sue Becker. I was blown away at how great the products taste. I heard that the first things you should do to improve your diet start with seed oils and salt which I have done. Grinding my own grains was my next step.
Oh my gosh, this makes my heart so happy! It sounds like our journeys have been similar. God bless you as you continue down this new path!
You have such a passion for milling and using FMF. It's so very important and the bread is so good. I just started milling this year and I'm 66. So, to anyone out there who's on the fence, don't wait, jump in and start now. You will be so glad knowing you're feeding your family and yourself wholesome nutritious food. All the wonderful things to make are limitless.
Thank you ❤️
Yes!!! I have been milling for 4 years and it’s life changing. I never buy store bought products with all purpose flour. If we want something I make it with fresh milled flour! I had to scrape and save for my grain mill 4 years ago because we couldn’t afford it but it’s soo worth it!! Wheat berries are cheaper by the pound than all purpose. Long run it saves so much money. I’m so passionate as well and love my fresh milled flour! Sue Becker is absolutely amazing!!
Yes AMAZING!!
Just found your channel, and girl, you are the bomb!!! Just ordered a hand crank mill cuz yours is “currently unavailable”, because I want to get started. What our “food” industry is doing to our good is nothing short of criminal, imo, so don’t stop spreading the word! Blessed be!
Honestly it’s good to have a hand crank mill. It’s on my list to acquire just to have in case. I’m so glad your eyes have been opened and you’re on this journey!
Totally agree! We switched to fresh mill flour and noticed a great difference in our health! 20 years ago it was hard to find a mill, grains, now, abundance. The stores will be next to carry grains. For now, so many options for the northern states and different sources for the southern states, online. As a lifelong bread baker, took me 5 tries in a learning curve to figure out to use more moisture, less flour, and now great bread products! I remember ordering organic foods out of state 30 years ago, then slowly you saw the products in stores, and now, whole stores dedicated to Whole Foods. The food industry will follow demands. Thank you!
I am also glad to see more availability for quality products!
Hear! Hear!
LOVE this video!
This video has been needed for so long!
Thank you so much for letting the voice for those who don’t know this!
You’re amazing!
God bless you! ❤
Absolutely!! So many just don’t know. God bless you as well!
Hi there! I'm so grateful to have found your channel. I came across grounding your own flour on Instagram and decided to venture to TH-cam with my notebook and pen to learn more. You did not disappoint! Knee-deep in my health and wellness era, even more so after losing my dad to cancer. I have come a long way, and still feel like I know nothing at all! Thank you for taking your time and energy to produce this. Just a reminder that there are so many 'little people' like me who appreciate it so much!
I’m so sorry to hear about your dad! I’m glad you found my video helpful. I hope to hear from you again in the future!
When I saw your thumbnail that said "I get upset about this" I clicked SO fast haha! I am also upset about how modern flour is processed, especially after I just learned that most flour in the U.S. is bleached with benzoyl peroxide and goes through another chemical process called bromation...something that has been banned in other countries. My family farms wheat and I knew that it couldn't be the wheat itself that is the enemy because it has many nutrients.
Haha! Thank you for the support! Yes you know a lot about this. I’m trying to spread those facts!
There is unbleached flour. And there are healthier flours available, but nothing is as good as home ground.
You are right on. Everything you talked about is exactly the way it is. I freshly mill flour to make sourdough breads muffins, cookies etc. etc. now and I find that we no longer have sugar cravings. When your body cells are nourished with nutrient dense foods they feel satiated. I have lost 20 pounds and am at my perfect weight without even trying. I eat until I am satisfied and I have not put any weight back on. We need to make significant nutritional changes as we are killing ourselves with our foods - especially the commercial dead breads. It is very easy to start this process - just be willing to spend a bit of time learning the basics. You will not be disappointed. I will be sending this to many loved ones. Thank you.
It sounds like we’re on the same page! Also, thanks for sharing with others. That really helps grow my channel!
Thank you for sharing all your knowledge and information. I totally agree with everything you said. The truth always hurts at least a little. I just started trying to make everything because I'm fed up with the food shrinking, getting scarce because of a snowstorm or too expensive to buy! I"m turning 60 this year OMG! Never be afraid of the truth! God bless you and yours😇🙏 from one Christian to another. ( yes, I wear a cross too)🥰😘
Thank you so much for sharing!
This video came up on my feed a couple of weeks ago. It sent me into a major spiral of research on milling grains at home. I just got my mill and grains yesterday. Thank you!
YAY! This has made me very happy. Congratulations! I wish you all the health and happiness throughout your freshly milled journey 🤗
I feel the same way you do about how we are being sold and fed trash I love your passion. I have made many changes and learning more and more each day. I am a new subscriber. we are of like minds and that's who I'd like to keep company with. Sourdough is my new project. Yay. thanks for the informative video.
Thank you so much for subscribing, Joyce! I’m so glad you’ve started down this journey. It’s incredibly fulfilling.
Just found your channel, I love your passion and straight forwardness. I fell down the rabbit hole 8 years ago with my son's poor health. When you know better you should do better, especially for your children. 💗
Amen!!
Been milling for 3 months now. Feel healthier and my daily bread tastes fantastic. Been using Great River, organic hard red spring wheat. Using a Sana grain mill and I highly recommend it.
Yes amazing!!
I love how "aggressive" you are. It is refreshing. You definitely gained a follower here. Keep up the great videos. 👏 Love that you don't sugar coat! Can't wait to try to talk my hubby into a mill. 😍
Thank you so much, Brittany! Good luck I hope you can get a mill!
I don’t think you need to apologize for being worked up, I think it’s good that you’re passionate!! Our health matters!!
Thank you!!
Your passion and enthusiasm for doing the right things is inspiring! I just finished grinding some rye berries by hand while watching your video. Hand grinding doesn't generate as much heat. I read somewhere that electric grinders affect the flour quality. Hopefully, that's not the case, because I don't want you to have to roll up more coins just to get a new hand grinder. Look it up, though. It is a great arm exercise, too.
I do believe it may affect quality but I think the effect may be negligible. However, I am planning on purchasing a hand crank mill anyway just to be prepared in case we can’t use the electric one for whatever reason.
Sue Beckers book "The Essential Home Ground Flour Book" is a wonderful resource for anyone looking to bake and use home milled grains. I have baked for decades but only in the last yr or 2 started milling at home and found it VERY informative and useful.
I really want that cookbook! It’s on the list for future purchases.
I wish Sue would address sourdough baking. I’m trying to up the fermented foods I eat.
New subscriber because of this video! I love the conviction you speak with! I wish we would all have this level of conviction! Well said!
Thank you so much!!
So incredibly educating. Thank you! ❤
Immediately subbed I got goiter right before covid swollen thyroid I avoided gluten it went down but I did t have this issue when I was a kid . Will def try this I love baking havent baked since I got this autoimmune disease . Cut seed oils.
Thank you for subscribing! Please check out some of my other videos, I have a lot of health related content. I definitely encourage you to try freshly milling your flour and see how your body feels.
I have a goiter too as part of Graves disease. Within the last month I've started milling my own flour - making all bread and pasta from scratch this way. I hope you heal soon. Take care.
Yes, yes yes I feel like somebody is speaking my language. I am a holistic practitioner and food matters. Hippocrates said , “let food be thy medicine and medicine be the food..” the doctors today signed his Hippocratic oath, know nothing about nutrition and the healing benefits of micro and macro nutrients vitamins, minerals essential fatty acids polyphenols flavonoids Turpines anthocyanins. I could go on and on but yes, somebody speak in my language. Show your passion and never apologize for it. Do you were here for a reason God has energized you with this passion. Let it go.👊💖🙏
YES! Let’s just keep talking about it and keep spreading the word. More and more people will become interested in this the more our food system degrades.
New subscriber because of this video! I'm at the stage in my holistic health journey where I'm figuring out how to make as much as I can from scratch... and now I'm here! And I LOVE your passion! It's why I subscribed. I'm just as passionate about this stuff as you are.
Just the other day, someone said "it's weird that the Bible talks so much about bread: 'bread of life' and 'turn these stones into bread' and stuff" -- and I almost shouted "THAT'S BECAUSE BREAD BACK THEN WAS ACTUALLY HEALTHY, UNLIKE ALMOST _ANY_ OF TODAY'S FOOD!!" 😂😂
Yes I love this!! I’m so glad you’re here. Check out the last two videos I just uploaded. We are always learning new skills around here! Best of luck on your journey. Let me know if you ever have any questions.
I just watched Sue's videos a day or two ago and my wife and I immediately bought a mill. I'm a true Celiac, yes, biopsies, blood tests, genetic tests... all came back positive. My biggest question is... are the health benefits from home milling going to be as pronounced if I use grains other than wheat to bake my bread products???? Love your video! Hopefully by now you have the baby you've been trying for!! keep up the good work!! Can't wait to watch more!!! Rob
I’m sorry about your diagnosis. I’m not well versed on flour alternatives but whatever you use, the fresher the better I think will be standard from a nutritional standpoint. Once milled, I imagine the degradation begins and works faster versus its non-milled state. Always mill what’s needed and no more.
I would love to mill my own flour, since coming to American I have got fat with so many ailments I never had before. I suffer from severe acid reflux and stomach swelling. I Can most of our food and do my own baking but unfortunately a mill is way out of my price mill, I’m a senior and I just can’t do it. But I am so pleased for you and hope you can continue your journey.
It’s true that the mills are so expensive! I purposely shared this video now because Black Friday and Cyber Monday are coming up. Hopefully there are some good sales.
Thank you, Jaylea, for explaining why we should eat freshly milled flour! Your explanation was so simple and easy to understand, and the graphics really helped. As a beginner, I found your explanation so straightforward that even a two-year-old could understand. Keep up the great work!
Thank you so much!!
Excellent information! Thank you ❤
Since you have a KithenAid mixer, they do make an attachment for milling that is less expensive than the grain mill. I recently bought one for my mixer so I could start milling my own wheat berries. It's amazing how delish breads taste!
Amazon reviews kept me from getting the kitchen aid attachment.. did you get the kitchen aid attachment or the mockmil one? Is it getting you good results?
@@RedBeardDevelopment I have the Kitchen aid attachment and have used it many times so far. It works great. I have it set for the finest grind and go at half speed.
I have a similar setup as you, ice blue kitchenaid i've had for 8 years and still going strong, and I got a mockmill 2 years ago and let me tell you, my kids rave about my bread. I mess up a lot but my kids still love it haha. Oh and it was Sue Beckers Bread of Life video that did it for me. I was so on board as well as a bunch of my girlfriends / homeschool moms, there were 4-5 of us that ended up buying our own mills that winter :D
Sue Becker is INCREDIBLE and she has impacted the lives of so many!! I’m glad you and your friends followed her wisdom.
Yes, yes, yes. I'm with you on what we are being fed. I feel your aggravation, and thank you for this video!! I do not have a mill yet- saving for it. But I do eat organically and grow as much of my own food as possible. I look forward to your other videos.
Great!! Yes keep saving. I took back bottles and cans even to be able to get mine! You got this 😁
Thanks for explaining. I buy only organic foods but was not aware of difference between store bought and freshly milled flour!
I love sharing about freshly milled flour! I’m glad you learned something new :)
You just got a new subscriber!! I bought a mock mill and just got my wheat berries from azure yesterday! It’s so hard to find people who have the same beliefs! Thank you!
Thank you!! I’m so glad you’re here! Best of luck on your milling journey!
This is great information. I have never done this and I'm so glad you are sharing this information. Thank you!
Bread Becker’s is how I started milling my own flour. Love baking whole grain ! Real food !
I just ran across your video today. It’s so exciting to see how passionate you are about real nutrition and real bread from freshly milled wheat. I’m on the same page-we’ve been lied to and taken advantage of by the food (& drug) industries. Three years ago I found Bread Beckers and I haven’t looked back. Good for you, darlin’!! (P.S. I’m probably old enough to be your grandmother. 😊)
Thank you so much for commenting! I hope you’ll stick around. I love having others with more time/knowledge than me participating in the comment section of my videos. It can really benefit others.
Great job!! God Bless your journey as a Mom
Thank you so much ❤️
Thank you for your video. I bought a bread maker on Amazon and went to Bread Beckers in Woodstock GA yesterday. For many years I have been convinced that processed sugar and processed wheat are the root of all allergies and deceases common today.
I’m so jealous you were able to go to Bread Beckers in person!!
i have been researching the benefits for the last month or so then found your video. I bought a koko mio eco and used it the last week. plus just made my first sourdough with fresh milled flour soooo yummy
Great job!!
This is my first time visiting your channel. You are very well spoken 😊. I’m wanting to get a mill soon. I tried using my blendtec which kind of worked but a mill will be much better. Thanks for the info!
Thank you! Yes I also tried different alternatives before getting a mill. They’re expensive but it’s SO much easier.
Good luck getting pregnant! I loved the passion and the nutritional information on the wheat berry. I just use a coffee grinder at this time and mix with unbleached store flour add yeast and a little sourdough honey sugar salt and water. It is delicious and much healthier than store bought bread. I wish I'd have been in on grinding wheatberries for flour when my 3 were in the womb. They are now all adults, and I love them so.
I am VERY fortunate to have learned all of this before having any of my children. I recognize that and praise God for it. You can still make them yummy freshly milled treats :) And for any grand babies as well!
I'm new to your channel, you go girl. I keep trying to tell my girls this that this is the way to go. Thanks for sharing
Thank you!!
Hello! I am researching before purchasing my grain mill & so thankful to see your video!!! YOU HAD ME 1:06 EXPLAINING THE 3 PARTS OF THE WHEAT BERRY! 🤩 Liked & Subscribed!!! I love & appreciate your passion & willingness to share your knowledge! THIS IS MY KIND OF CHANNEL!!! God bless you, richly!!! 💛 I will be investing in me & my family’s good health!!! 🥰
Thank you so much! I’m so excited for you to embark on your freshly milled journey!
This is the first video I’ve watched of yours and I love your passion for this! I think we are kindred spirits!
Welcome, Heather! I’m happy you’re here! This isn’t the only thing I’m passionate about 😜
💯 Girl, you are a kindred spirit! Well put, concise, easy to digest (haha) information!❤
That made me LOL! Nice little pun 😂 And thank you very much!!
You are so wise and right with your words - thank you!
Thank you, Shirley!
Thank you for sharing this information! You are correct!
Your mill in Canada is almost $700... OMG, I can't afford that!!! I got a hand metal mill, it takes me 1 hour to grind 2 cups of hard wheat...Lol... All worth it!! I feel the same way you do... Grrrrrrr... But let's not stay upset, and let's cook healthy! God Bless! Chris from Canada!
WOAH!! That’s crazy! I think I paid around $350 for it, which was still so much money for me. $700 is nuts! I APPLAUD you for still milling your grain even though it’s so much work. That’s commitment!
You know, over ten years ago, God showed me to cook everything at home, and I also grow micro greens and do germination of grains and seeds :) Thank you kindly! @@faithandarrowhomestead
@@krzchriscraft3914isn’t it absolutely amazing how present God is in these skills and tasks? It’s a reminder to me that these things are important and can be used to glorify Him.
The discovery of malnutrition was by Army doctors observation of the new recruits for WWII, they saw 30% were. Yet when questioned the recruits seemed to consume sufficient quantities of food. Hence the law requiring refortification requirements for all grains was established. Sourdough is even better for your body.
I got the mill attachment for the mixer you have. Works great! During the pandemic mills were impossible to get. I got a coffee mill and only ground wheat thru it, worked great too.
Just found your channel and subscribed. I really appreciate your fervor on this topic! It’s obvious that you did the research and then presented it in a logical, flowing manner. You’ve convinced me, and I’ll be looking for a grain mill today. I have an older one that is hand-cranked but it’s become too difficult for me to do for very long. Actually, you remind me of me when I was younger and I look forward to not only your new videos but I’ll be looking back at some older ones. Keep up the good work!
Deanna you have blessed me today! Thank you so much for your encouraging feedback. It’s good you have a hand crank mill just in case you can’t use the electric for whatever reason. I will be purchasing a hang crank in the near feature. It’s great to have both!
YOU. ARE. AWESOME. I am going to start stalking your channel and I'm going to make my own milled bread!!!
Thank you!! I hope you find some other helpful things on my channel :) Good luck with your freshly milled journey!
Im 75 and I like your passion.
I’m new to your channel and I don’t think it’s aggression, it’s passion! When I started learning about how messed up America’s food system is I got fired up too! Keep it going!
I like that thank you!
Love the passion in this video. I am right there with you. I want to have a child as well but you know at my age I have been told I am too old. but then I am like well look at people like Janet Jackson who had a baby at 50, so nope. but knowing how to eat better I feel does help. thank you so much for this information. love it!
Eating better definitely helps! Good luck on your journey!
Spot on!
New subscriber. Been totally on board with whatbyou are speaking about...our health/food. Good for you. People have no idea. We need to wake up to the fact that all " manufactured " food is trash
Yes exactly!
I know it’s 8 months after you posted this, however, it had impact! My wife needs to be on a gluten free for a while, I sent your video. We ordered the KitchenAid attachment before your video was over along with grain. Great passion! Hope you and husband are due soon!!
Wow thank you! I am SO glad you benefitted from this information. No baby yet but hopefully someday! Be blessed both of you ❤️
I’m 100% with you! Same boat! Pissed off at big food and big pharma and I’m broke and I still manage to search for deals to get healthy food for me and my family. And I just got a manual grain mill on FB marketplace for half the price! So I’ve started milling my own grain and I get a work out lol double healthy haha
Amazing!! I want a manual mill. I’ll keep an eye on Facebook marketplace too!
First time seeing your channel. Love your passion. Thank you for the important information.
Thank you so much!
Love you and your views. Keep going strong. God bless you
Thank you!!
I love your passion for life! Thank you❤️
You’re sweet! Thank you :)
I just bought the wondermill! I love it!
YAY! Congratulations!
Your passion was inspiring. How long will your own ground flour last before it spoils. We have had a grain mill for 10 years but it's always been for things we need right then. Never to store. Also subbed
Thank you for subscribing! I never store freshly milled flour. I always mill right as I need it but I do have a friend who mills it ahead of time and keeps it in the freezer. That does help extend the shelf life but still, the nutrients decrease rather quickly after milling.
You are right getting all worked up! I get so mad too. It’s unbelievable all the junk in our food. I do all I can in my own house but seems like family get togethers are the worst.
It’s funny you say that. I ate terribly this weekend because we had multiple get togethers and I have felt so terrible!! It’s crazy the difference in how I feel when eat well versus eat bad.
I loved this video - I feel like a grain mill is getting bumped up my priorities list lol
I’m so glad this ended up in front of you! You’ll love it. I feel so empowered every time I use it.
Amazing video. Thank you
I’m happy that you are so passionate about this , I hope your generation will do the same 👏🏽
I hope so too ❤️
Thank you girl! Hope you’re already pregnant by now, and wish you good health for life! Thanks bcoz I’m on the road to taking back the responsibility of my family’s health and my own too, after decades of believing the lies and propaganda of commercial ads on tv and the general fake advice given by doctors who didn’t ever learn much of food as health in their programs 😄 but mostly know how to prescribe drugs for every symptom. 😏 finally at my post menopausal age when everything seems to be crashing health wise for me, I’ve finally started to think of making some financially hard choices to invest in my own health and my family’s too. So was wondering if I could even spend this much for a mill. But thanks to you, I’m going to go ahead with the initial hardship money wise, to reap good health for us. God bless 🙏🏼
Hello! Thank you so much for commenting. Not pregnant yet but I have faith! I’m so proud of you for not just desiring a change but MAKING a change! You and your family will be so happy you did. God bless!
Really enjoyed your video. Great passion and energy and supports my own views on why I am milling mine. I am so tired of the junk in our food. And my latest is our water supply. :0
Oh jeeze don’t get me started on the water supply. It can be very overwhelming when you start to discover these various things.
Thanks for sharing! I appreciate your enthusiasm! 😊 I'm curious if you soak and sprout your grains before milling them at all/ever?
Thank you :) No actually I haven’t dabbled in that yet. I understand a bit of the science behind it but haven’t tried it.
Love this video - it’s what made me subscribe!
People seem to really be resonating with my rage! 😂🤗 Welcome to my channel, I’m so happy to have you!
I just recently found your channel and I’ve been enjoying your videos so much! First, I wanted to say I’m praying God will bless you with a sweet baby, soon! I also wanted to ask if you could make a video explaining what wheat berries/grains you use, where you buy them, what you recipes you use them in etc. I’ve been eyeing a grain mill but don’t exactly know where to start! 🤎
🥹 This made me tear up. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart ❤️
Yes I will absolutely do that! I do all of my filming on Wednesday and Thursday, so I will film that this week but it likely won’t go up until next week. Keep an eye out :)
@@faithandarrowhomestead can’t wait! 🤗🤎
Keep sending the right messages.
Excellent video, I’ve shared with friends. Thanks!
That helps me immensely, Amy! Thank you so much!!
It is true for every country - if you are in a situation where you can, you should grow as much of your food as you can yourself and process as much of the food you need also yourself. Getting out with plants has so many benefits, which is way beyond just having fresh produce, its antidepressants, its cultivating understanding of how nature works, its a sense of security because in time you know what you are doing and how to approach problems, and of course its way more healthier to eat own food and its incomparably tastier.
Agreed!
I love your passion and feel the same way. You have an amazing way of sharing and explaining the process of things that makes it so understandable for some of us beginners. Makes me less intimidated to try new things. Planning to start grinding my own flour and doing my research on grinders. Does Amazon have this grinder for $113? When I click on this link it takes me to the one that is $379. Thank you for all you do to help make this lifestyle change doable ❤
I’m glad you feel I delivered this information well! Unfortunately the mill I chose is very expensive. I got mine on a holiday sale. Wait until Black Friday if you’re interested in the same one! Otherwise there may be other more affordable models.
Thank you for this. If you have a kitchen aid you can buy the mill attachment and mill on that right?
Yes you can!
Your amazing so happy to have found you .😊🙌
Thank you so much! I’m glad you’re here!
I can't afford a nice grain mill but I use my nutri bullet which does a good job for now 😊
I’m glad you have an alternative!!
Very well put. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for watching :)
Your passion is palatable:) I started milling my own grains after Christmas and it is a work in progress! But we really love it! I am somewhat disappointed bc I don't notice the health benifits I was hoping for, eg weight loss n extra energy. Now, we do eat pretty clean already but I was hoping for that little bit that puts u over the top. What differences have you noticed in your own body since you have started using fresh milled?
I’m glad you asked about this because I think the only thing I really noticed was a more regular healthy bathroom routine (#2 specifically) and my blood sugar is more balanced. I don’t feel hangry anymore. I hear all these stories about peoples lives being changed and it wasn’t that dramatic for me. But I’m curious, how is the rest of your diet? I’m also a huge advocate for cutting out seed oils and I started there. That was a NIGHT AND DAY difference in my health. I lost weight, my migraines completely went away, I was able to come off my anxiety medicine and haven’t had any panic attacks, I feel so much more… alive and awake. Real bread has continued to help me and improve my health but the seed oils is what changed my life.
Here’s a video on seed oils if you don’t know what I’m talking about.

Thx for replying, n I will check out the video! The only store bought oil i use is a good olive oil. Other than that, it's either butter or our own beef tallow n pork lard.
More washroom breaks, yes, for sure:) Maybe we have not been at it long enough to notice the xtra energy I was hoping for.
@@snoopypeanut8938that is always the reply I get from people when I bring up seed oils. Unfortunately seed oils are in EVERYTHING. I have decided to cut them out completely because I am on a pregnancy journey but that is very extreme. Once you discover just how much seed oil you are consuming, it will change your life. And yes keep at the freshly milled flour. It will make a difference in the end.
I love your passion!
Thank you!
I love your passion. However I'd like to make a point if order. Yes, Industrial Seed Oils like the large modern flour mills, remove the benefits of seed/nut oils and add harmful synthetic preservatives to increase shelf life. But there is a new emergence of small batch seed & nut oils that retain the benefits without the harmful additives. Of course, like freshly milled whole wheat berries, it's not shelf stable for an extended period of time.
True and depending on which type it can’t be heated either. Which is what most people do with seed oils, heat them.
I could not agree with this woman more, definitely researching getting a mill and wheat berries
Great!! Nutrimill is having a sale right now.
Do grain mills exist with millstones that do not leach out materials into the flour ?
You’d have to do your research into each individual mill. I’m not sure specifically.
What a very informative video! It was the motivation I needed to just go ahead and buy a grain mill and some wheat berries. Being very new though, one thing I don't understand, why is it that I can go to Walmart and buy King Arthur flour for $1/Lb but if I want to buy wheat berries they're anywhere from $2.50 and up for 5 Lbs. I feel like I'm being scammed. Why do I have to buy 50lbs just to get berries for the same price per Lb as flour which has been way more processed. ~Perplexed in Pensacola
Wheat berries are often sold in larger quantities because less people purchase them. You can purchase processed flour in all sorts of shapes and sizes because that’s what the mass majority are looking for. Also, the wheat berry itself is two products in one. When they process it into white flour, the bran and germ are sold as a separate product. If a company is just selling the wheat berry whole, they’re making less money on it overall. That may contribute to the price difference.
@@faithandarrowhomestead Ok, that makes sense. BTW I've been a big Dave Ramsey fan for the last 25 years and attribute my success to the biblical principles he teaches. You won't regret it.
@@edthenomadtrucker8321I LOVE Dave Ramsey!
Yep! Greed for money & power has become more important than the people in this country. Its very sad.
That’s exactly right!
I have a “dumb” question. With the mill, do you just purchase the wheat berries and then literally put them in and grind up and then use? Is it really that simple? How long after grinding should you use the flour before it goes bad? Thank you
No such thing as stupid questions with this kind of thing! Yes, it is literally that easy! I put whatever bowl I need the flour in under the spout, and grind away! I don’t have an exact number for you as far as time, but you want to use it ASAP. Grind it as you need it, don’t pre-grind a bunch of flour and try to store it.
@@faithandarrowhomestead thanks so much!! Have a great day!
@@amycanon9919 Asked my wife about storage since she is the one that does the grinding. I grow it and she cooks it. She said it last a day or two at room temperature, but will last a week if kept in the fridge. Really you get use to knowing how much you need and grinding it fresh. The oils go rancid pretty fast. But the grains will last for years.
@@faithandarrowhomesteadI grind as much as I will use right away. If you have any left over, Sue Becker said it will keep its nutrients in the freezer for up to 6 months.
4:21 they want to sell us on the idea that processing the wheat berry down to the endosperm alone is cheaper overall than milling it as is.
Well I’m sure they make a lot more money due to the white flour being more shelf stable.
@@faithandarrowhomestead i think its consumer driven, like the ⅓lb burger selling worse than ¼lb burger because too many buyers though ⅓lb was LESS meat. They will acquiesce to the dumb consumer, even if it's a worst deal overall
So, the whole reason I even searched on this topic you summed up so concisely - I'm fat and malnourished - and looking to do so much better!
You got this!!
You are awesome! Greetings from Germany ❤️
Wow thank you!!
Always a good idea. But are higher quality and wholemeal flours not available retail?
No unfortunately not. They are marketed that way but you can’t purchase true freshly milled flour from the store. If they are selling full intact flour without the bran and germ sifted away, it has long since oxidized and gone rancid. True, full, intact freshly milled flour starts to oxidize as soon as you mill it. Their is no store bought version that comes close, from a nutritional standpoint, to flour milled fresh at home and used right away.
