All our products are milled fresh with stone mills—the same way it has been done since Roman times—leaving the bran and germ intact for a 100% whole grain product and superior nutritional value. Our All-Purpose Flour, however, is the only exception. While it is also stone-ground whole, just like our other grains, it is then sifted to consistency, leaving some of the bran out of the flour to ensure a better rise.
