Patent ID: 7419694

Claim:
A continuous flow grain milling process for producing ultrafine-milled whole-grain wheat flour comprising the steps of: (a) offering a quantity of cleaned and tempered wheat kernels; (b) milling the wheat kernels into a fine fraction, consisting essentially of endosperm, and a coarse fraction comprising bran and germ; (c) separating the fine fraction and the coarse fraction; (d) separately milling the fine fraction to form a milled fine fraction; (e) separately milling the coarse fraction in a gap mill having a conical rotor to form a milled coarse fraction and (f) combining a portion of the milled coarse fraction with a portion of the milled fine fraction such that the combination has a particle size distribution where greater than 98% passes through a U.S. 70 wire screen and contains at least substantially all bran and germ as in the cleaned and tempered intact wheat kernels.
