ADVANTAGES OF MAKING YOUR OWN

Being able to adjust the types and ratios of grains for just the right flavor and texture.

Being able to determine whether you want to use organic options or
grains with / without husks, etc.

WHAT GOES INTO A MULTIGRAIN
FLOUR MIX?
Multigrain
flour is typically made with at least two whole grains, but usually consists of
7 or more, including barley, wheat, oats, brown rice, and even seeds. Commonly
used seeds include flaxseed, quinoa, and buckwheat.
We pick a handful of whole
grains, and mix in some store-bought whole grain flours like buckwheat flour,
cornmeal, and whole wheat flour to round out the flavor.

First, clean the grains and millets. Make sure there are no stones or sticks. After this, roast all the ingredients (except wheat and oats) until they turn golden brown. Keep roasting and make sure you don’t burn them. Once you have roasted the grains, allow them to cool at room temperature. Once the grains are at room temperature, take the ingredients to a flour mill, and get them ground. Store the flour in an airtight container in a cool and dry place. Your multigrain flour is ready.
