Quick, Easy and Inexpensive

If you’re looking for a whole-grain health bonanza with just a few minutes of kitchen time, you’ve picked up the right book! Modern flour mills and bread machines turn bread making into a task no more complicated, nor expensive, than grinding beans and brewing breakfast coffee. Flour Power tells you how to compare, locate and buy one of dozens of available mills, how to buy the "right" wheat and how to make delicious, light, wholemeal loaves–every time.

Guaranteed Whole-Grain Health
But why bother grinding flour at home? Because it’s the only way to add "good" carbs to diet. Flour Power explains why virtually all commercial flours (even "whole wheat") have lost fiber, vitamins, minerals, enzymes and phytochemicals during processing and storage. A diet rich in whole grains has been linked to vastly improved health, but in many cases researchers aren’t certain which components in the whole grain are actually doing the good work. The only safe way to get all the health benefits is to eat all the grain!

Flour Power also tells you how to

make a gourmet cook euphoric
add "good" carbohydrates to diet
ensure food self-sufficiency in case of natural disasters
get whole grains in the diets of gluten sufferers
grind flour manually, if you prefer
grind wheat, corn, rye, beans, spelt, quinoa, even peanut butter
roll oats at home
prepare healthful (and delicious!) quick breads, cakes, cookies, muffins, cornbread and much more from home-milled flours
