Wheat flour

Wheat flour is a versatile ingredient essential for making cakes, bread, chapatis, and parathas, and it offers numerous health benefits. Rich in protein and fiber, natural wheat flour, milled without chemicals or pesticides, is a healthier choice.

However, it’s worth noting that regular wheat flour, which can last for three months without spoiling, often contains preservatives that may not be ideal for health. ERB’s Wheat Flour is freshly milled for optimal nutrition and is free from chemicals, ensuring it is consumed within 30 days to avoid spoilage and retain its nutritional value.

Wheat flour is a staple in North Indian households, packed with B vitamins such as niacin, thiamine, and folate, and essential minerals like potassium, zinc, iron, magnesium, and manganese. However, those with gluten intolerance or diabetes should be cautious due to wheat’s high glycemic index, which can spike blood sugar levels.

Proper storage of wheat flour is crucial. Since it is prone to catching worms without chemical treatment, it should be bought in small quantities and consumed within 30 days of milling. Whole grain wheat flour, made by grinding the entire wheat kernel, has a shorter shelf life than white flour because the germ’s lipids can oxidize and cause rancidity.

Whole grain wheat flour retains all components of the wheat kernel, providing comprehensive nutrients and enhancing the flavor, texture, and color of baked goods. It is rich in dietary fiber from the bran, micronutrients from the aleurone layer, and enzymes and lipids from the germ.

The origins of wheat flour date back to the Stone Age, with domestication beginning in the Tigris and Euphrates River Valley. Modern whole wheat flour production, driven by health benefits, uses stone and hammer mills. This method preserves the wheat’s natural components, ensuring high dietary fiber, proteins, minerals, and vitamins.

Whole grain wheat flour’s antioxidants and fibers contribute to reduced risks of chronic diseases and certain cancers. Therefore, incorporating freshly milled, whole grain wheat flour into your diet can significantly enhance your nutritional intake and overall health.
