White Flour – What’s in it for you?

For decades flour is and has been a main staple in many cultures around the world. Today however flour is being made from wheat that is being treated with pesticides and insecticides from seedling to storage. Back in 1910, bleached white flour had been declared as “unfit human food” from the Federal District Court of Missouri, yet no action was taken. Since then 60 additional chemicals have been approved to bleach flour, making it incredibly unhealthy and unsafe to consume.

Organic, Slow & Careful Baking

Before the 1950’s, most bread bakeries ran two shifts of workers. The first shift prepared the dough, leaving it to ferment overnight.  The second shift completed the baking.  This type of baking is referred to as the Sourdough Baking Method – a long and slow process using a culture which contains lactobacillus bacteria (symbiotic work of Bactrim & Fungous).
