Maybe you’ve never heard it before, but you really should be baking your own bread.

Why?

I think the number one reason everyone should bake their own bread is that it redeems you from years of bad health and medical bills. How so?

HOMEMADE BREAD IS HEALTHIER

It is much healthier to bake your own bread instead of buying bread that contains chemical addatives, hydrogenated oils, unhealthy preservatives, and fattening sweeteners.

If you buy white bread you're also getting bread that is nutritionless, but don't be fooled, store bought whole wheat bread is just as bad for you.

A lot of times the whole wheat bread sold in stores isn't really made out of 'whole meal' but is just white bread that is colored (using caramel) to make it appear like it's whole grain and healthy. Read the rest of this entry »

Well, our co-op is ready to order and I have a delema. 

It appears that our supplier has discontinued an item that actually is quite popular with my customers.  Without this item (150lbs of it to be exact) I don't meet the minimum to be shipped.  If NOTHING can be shipped due to lower pounds then I have to refund and likely will lose my customers.

The only other option is to purchase 500 lbs of Hard White Spring Wheat from another supplier dirctly and try to find a cool, dry place to store it and PRAY it doesn't spoil before I can sell it.  This is organic, non treated wheat and thus is more likely to spoil if not used within the year.  It is a huge extra fee and it may be a waste if it all sits or spoils.

This is quite a problem.  I am loosing sleep over it.

Help! Does anyone know where to get Organic Hard White Spring Wheat in 25 pound bags?

The following types of wheat are classified based primarily on color, hardness of the kernel, and time of year the wheat is planted.

Hard red winter
Soft red winter
Hard red spring
Hard white
Soft white
Durum

Generally, flours that are milled from hard wheat have high quality gluten and are considered strong.

Due to the difference in quality among many types of wheat, millers typically blend flours to achieve a consistent product time after time. Readily available to most home bakers, all purpose flour is actually a blend of hard and soft wheat flours.

Regardless of the type of wheat, milling the endosperm of wheat berries or kernels yields white flour. This process also removes so much natural nutrients and vitamins that subsequent enrichment can never completely replace them. Therefore, enriched white bread is by no means nutritionally equal to whole wheat bread.

In addition, 'wheat bread' on the label does not mean that it is made from whole wheat flour. It is just to distinguish the bread from those made from other types of grains. Read the rest of this entry »
