I never get tired of hearing Sue speak. Thank you for having her on. A few years ago I listened to her 3 hour "Staff of Life" talk she did in her studio kitchen. I was captivated and so blessed not only by her information but by her testimony. I bought a mill and some wheat berries and set out on my journey. So glad I did!!
We absolutely loved having her on! Dr. Jess bought a grain mill after the interview and has now started milling her own grain as well. It only makes sense! So many health benefits.
Still surprises me that flour bleaching still happens in so many countries. Totally unnecessary - here in the UK it has been illegal since 1998
Sue is absolutely the best and is a blessing to so many!
We LOVED the opportunity to interview her!
I started milling my own grain this passed weekend. I think the best thing about it besides the taste is that you only have to mill the amount that you need. The rest stays in God's mini storage units (the grain) until you need it.
Exactly! It’s way less wasteful and really not hard at all. It’s also so much more nutrient dense! Thanks for sharing!!
Loved the history lesson! I am a Seventh day Adventist and we are a part of the Blue Zones - groups of people who live the longest. Back in the late 1800's and early 1900's they were mockingly called "bran eaters" because they didn't sift the bran from their flour.
I have a grain mill and make my own bread because I don't want all the added chemicals. It tastes better, its fresh and apparently much more nutritious.
That's great! We absolutely love the research behind understanding the Blue Zones and are huge proponents of the lessons learned. Move more, grow and eat real food, stay socially connected, keep your sense of purpose and we can have a healthier/ happier community :).
Thanks for sharing your experience!
After learning about milling my own grains (been doing it now for a year and I have a Mockmill 200), I don’t buy into the whole, “I can’t eat gluten” narrative anymore. I buy from Bread Beckers and Pleasant Hill Grains.
Were you gluten intolerant prior to milling your own grains?
@@chericarter735 I can say that after eating pasta, bread, crackers etc, I would get sharp, stabbing pains in my stomach and my blood sugar would raise up to 100 points. I am hypoglycemic and although not required to check my blood sugar three times a day, I do that on my own. After switching to milling my own flours, I no longer get those stomach pains and my blood sugar rises to a normal level after eating. Not to mention the rate is over and above superior than foods made with dead flour. I am going to make chocolate chip cookies made with fresh ground barley flour, sucanat and honey granules.
It's so funny to realize that when I was first milling my own grain (just because I knew the wheatberries were long lasting and easy to store), I was milling with my Blendtec blender (which was fine although not the highest ideal) and making the bread without a mixer or breadmaker and was having a hard time getting the bread the way I wanted it. For a little while I actually sifted the bran and germ out of my own home-milled flour, just to make the bread softer, having NO IDEA I was taking out the good stuff...! I did not continue with it because it was just too much trouble. (Like most important lessons in life, I always seem to come in the back door, lol.) Thank you, God, for people like Sue Becker who are "spreading the bread"!
We are so grateful for the knowledge Sue Becker is sharing. We learned so much from our interview with her! Thank you so much for sharing your experience will milling your own grains!
I so appreciate Sue Beaker and love her store. The classes on RUclips are fantastic. Highly recommend. I’ve been milling and baking my own bread for a couple of months….my rosacea is improving, and I have noticed an uptick in my energy level.
We loved speaking with her and learned so much! So happy to hear your energy level is increasing and your skin is happier! It is amazing how small changes can make such a big improvement! Do you have a favorite class on RUclips that you recoomend?
Yes, all of Sue’s are extremely educational and therefore a bit more long winded…but you’ll want that knowledge to understand the why behind each ingredient. I’ll post three links for my favorites. The first will be Sue educating on each ingredient, the 2nd by a different channel that uses Sue’s recipe but quickly taught, and the 3rd will be a chocolate chip cookie recipe using milked wheat that comes out great.
One thing extra to mention and study is that people with MTHFR cannot process the folic acid in its additive form and need the true folate that was there before.
Hi. I'm curious to know where you got that information. My sister has that gene.
Awesome information. Thanks 😊 ❤
Glad it was helpful!
Timely topic ; trying sprouted grain and seed bread -after watching podcast! Thanks for inspiration
yay!! you’ll see in some of the posts later this week Dr. Jess milling her own grain to make bread and pizza crust.
Interesting comments
Love this. I just started milling my pwn flour and made waffles and a loaf of vread so far. Cannot wait to see what the health benefits will be for my family.
That’s so awesome!!
What about the aluminium oxide from the stones in domestic mills. No one seems to mention the fillers and aluminium going into the flour. Definitely a concern.
Thank you for this video. Could you share the process from scratch soak grains, any dehydration before milling etc? What are the affordable mill in the market ,dehydration options instead of using oven for long hours, I'm staying at a tropical climate.
How long can we store flours after milling?
Because I found Sue, her family and her teachings I have purchased a bread machine a grain mill and wheat berries. My goal is to never have store bought bread in our house again. Sometimes God brings you to understanding in certain stages of your life. I'm now 66, retired and live only about an hour from Bread Beckers store. Why now? Why not 40 or 50 years ago? I won't question God's plan, I'm just going to rejoice and enjoy the bread.
We are so glad you have joined the journey!
Same! Wish I knew this much sooner. Milling my own and making my own bread now for a couple of months. Looking forward to having blood work done to see what’s happening on the inside.
Us too! Dr. Jess started milling her own grain after speaking with Sue and hasn't turned back. Small changes can make big differences!@@MommaT1970
Do grain mills exist with millstones that do not leach out materials into the flour ?
Fascinating topic, a bit too much bible talk for me so didn’t get to finish it. I’m getting a mill though. Cheers.
Excited for you to get your own mill. Have you received it and started using it? Hope you are enjoying it!
Do you use grain sorghum and do you blend it with Wheat? What sorghum is best white or red ?
I combine all different varieties of grains including sorghum. The white versus red is just different phytonutrients - color indicates different nutrients in a plants, red versus green grapes, different colored apples, different colored potatoes, etc. Variety is great! Try all the different grains!
We are not the experts in milling grain by any means, so check our Sue Becker’s channel @BreadBeckers to grow in your journey!
Mill my own and love it but I do have pre diabetic a1c.. what to do?😢
We are not nutrition experts so we definitely recommend talking with a nutritionist for appropriate recommendations and information but we have heard that buckwheat and barley are good options for people on a diabetic diet as they are higher in soluble fiber.
Most nutritionist will not know the benefits of fresh milling and how different it is and how much it matters. Just like fruit, a study was done indicating that people with type 2 will not see an A1C change when consuming whole fruits yet people with type 2 are constantly told not to eat fruit.
Stick to fresh milling and stick to a whole foods plant based diet - you should see great results. Give it a go! If the medical establishment was giving sound advice, we'd see reversal of obesity and disease but we don't, we continue to see a rise so their advice is not working.
For the girl that said she had been milling her own gluten free grain .. which one are you using?
Buckwheat is the gluten free grain we use at home. It is great for pancakes, but needs to be combined with other lighter grains to make bread. There are so many recipes out there. You just have to try a number and see what you prefer. Have fun!
No way that I can afford a grain mill for one person to use. I'll just use this information to be sure that I only buy my flour when I will be baking and not leave it in the leftovers in the fridge for months.
I use my coffee grinder it only costs me 20.00 and it works good.
You can also look up blender bread- you can make quick breads, pancakes, muffins by blending whole grains with the liquid from the recipe, therefore not needing a grain mill. Mary's Nest RUclips channel has a recipe.
I use my little coffee grinder for now and mix that fresh flour with store flour. The flavor is so much better, and I imagine it is nutrious as well.
ANY flour you buy in the store is dead. Not only is it dead, it has conditioners in it. Blender, coffee grinder, mortar & pestle - use it. Grain grinders are humanity's first kitchen appliance and it has magically disappeared from most kitchens.
Sue, I purchased between $700 and $800 worth of merchandise from your store. I called your store and left a message to have someone return my call as I had a couple of questions. No response. Then I called again and emailed you,but no response. I’m not sure if you know your customer service is poor. I’m disappointed.
Hi @jom7276, I’m sorry you aren’t having the best experience with the Bredbecker team. We are just a podcast that had Sue on as a guest. Keep reaching out to them, also they have their own RUclips channel with a bunch of info you may find helpful :)
@@twogalsandaglasshalffull well, thanks for responding. I’ll try calling their store again.
@@jom7276there is an email address that i have seen mentioned in breadbecker’s comment section on their RUclips channel , i would try that also. They were closed during the christmas season until january, that may have been when you called fwiw
What do u say to someone that “has a wheat allergy”?? It’s literally life threatening… Mary and Martha🤔🤨
An allergy is something specific to be managed, but can still utilize the benefits of milling grain and use buckwheat instead of wheat :)
@@twogalsandaglasshalffull oh ok!! That’s a good idea! Thanks
@@ellenkleinsasser2558 Happy to help!
It always pisses me off to hear a southerners say they always cooked real food, as though nobody else did. . How do you think all the people in the Northeast survived? It's 2023 and the Northeast is still the most populated area of the USA because that's where most people settled. I'm within walking distance of two 18th century flour mills. We were baking bread way before anyone lived in Georgia.
people left the northeast to flee from processed food mandates and oppression; finally free to cook long recipes with many steps, they vowed to always let northerners know that they are less than human for their easy, and unhealthy, cooking practices. I know its racist, but its fact. If you are pissed off, you also should move to Georgia.....but cheer up before you get here. Well, whatever, you'll cheer up just fine down here in the land of milled grain, nutrition, and gumdrop trees.
