When you try other brands you really see how amazing King Arthur's stuff is when it comes time to working the gluten, stretching & folding, etc. Gives a fantastic oven spring too.
This Canadian loves King Arthur flours, but I can only get them while visiting the US ! The first trip when I arrive, is get groceries, and King Arthur flour is always in the cart. When i leave for home, the last thing I do, is load up on on your flour, and hope I have enough until the next trip ! Thank you, and your entire team, all the way to the farm, for what you do !
American flour is pretty mediocre, mostly, except for a few smaller brands and one big one - King Arthur, which seems to be consistently very high quality. This is why Americans gush over King Arthur -- because it's the best they can get and it stands out in a crowd. But ALL of our flour brands here in Canada are as good or better than King Arthur. We're seriously spoiled here with some of the very highest quality wheat in the world. Usually it's the gourmet bakers bringing our flour back to the US and not the other way around!
This is a great video. So many people have no idea how we get our food. If you haven't already, please do a video on rice. I gave someone a bag of Jasmine rice. They gave me a strange look when I tried to explain that it wasn't like the Jasmine rice from Costco and had to be washed and cooked differently. People don't understand that the same rice can be milled differently and that changes the process required to cook it. When I lived in Asia I couldn't believe the varieties of rice that were available. Some varieties are similar. Others can look the same but are actually quite different when cooked. A favorite of mine is from Japan and it is fertilized with the shells of a crab similar to the Snow crab. It's sweet and amazing.

It would be like calling an Orange grove an “orange juice garden” - sure, you can make orange juice from oranges, but you can do other things with oranges. Same with wheat. Cracked wheat, Cream of Wheat, sprouted grain, whiskey, gravy, polishes, beer, pasta, etc.

The Japanese have in recent years developed machines that are small enough to plant in even small terraced fields but not everyone can afford one. In some areas, the people refuse the equipment because it would eliminate jobs that the workers depend on. It's a very delicate balance.

@@coyrex1250 It depends on the type of crop. Stuff like cereal grains is super automated, where you might need maybe 4 farm workers to harvest an entire field in one day, thanks to the sophisticated agricultural machinery that's been developed since the industrial revolution. Other crops are far more labor intensive, including fruits and vegetables, which require hundreds of workers to plant and harvest manually. Automation has yet to catch up to the same degree for the more complicated handling of these food products.

No we add water to the wheat to make the bran come off easier. And unless the facility is set up to remove the germ and package it. Most of it goes to feed for animals

In the 1980s I used to be a baker, and to this day I still love to bake, all my own bread and most of my own pastries. I'd have kind of liked to see him get into the weeds a little bit about milling different types of flour, whole wheat you can understand, but bread flour vs pastry flour or APF, I'd have liked to see.
The King Arthur company sets a standard for their flour and they only buy flour that meets that standard. For example, a specific protein content required to make the best bread, fineness of the flour, purity etc. This is common practice in the food business. Your canned goods may come from many different canneries and even more different farms but they go to great lengths to guarantee a uniform product, even to supplying the farmers with seeds to be sure all the produce is identical.
The mill shown in this video is only making white flour, whole wheat is gonna be slightly different. When you make white flour the bran and shorts aka by products are separated and sold as separate products usually animal feeds or filler ingredients. In whole wheat mills the bran and shorts are ground up and incorporated with the white flour, so the rolls rollstands are set-up to grind different and sifters are also set up different, but same equipment.

@PraiseHim.Education The answer is to add tofu - this is plant base protein to the flour you are using in your baking or your dumpling. #ProteinIncreaseForVegansAndOthers. It also increases the iron content in the food. #IncreaseIronContent Sent 10 February 2024 2:04AM CST Texas
Less than a third of the output of the mill I work in. At the field is where the first of our problems happen - lead shot from grouse & pheasant shoots.
Sorry you ran into one of the driest years Texas has encountered. You know, Kansas had a bumper crop of red winter wheat this year, the fields were full of goodness. You ought to go pay a visit to a corn meal mill company by the name of the Chelsea Milling Company, home of the 'Jiffy" mixes.
The amount of spring in the pan would be one indicator of how the mix performs. I suspect they probably put in just the amount that will come up level with the rim of the cup IF the spring is good. It would make for an easy visual test that way.
Kinda scary that only 2% of people are farmers for the entire world. That number should by higher in my opinion. I would love to someday get into farming myself. Whether it’s live stock or other food products.

You forgot to mension with images on the video of some very "interisting" places os the mill, llike the machine (or machines) that put the chemical additives in the flour!!!
The first measurement said 11.3 percent Protein, and the women said it was fine. But in the end they said it needs at least 12.7 percent protein in the weed to get 11.7 percent in the flour. 🧐🤷
Many of King Arthur's flours are blends of flours milled from different kinds of wheat. Mixing flour is how you deliver a consistent exact protein percentage.

The answer is to add tofu - this is plant base protein to the flour you are using in your baking or your dumpling. #ProteinIncreaseForVegansAndOthers. It also increases the iron content in the food. #IncreaseIronContent Sent 10 February 2024 2:04AM CST Texas
That was really interesting. Good stuff.
Amazing video
What kind this wheat? So short
I really enjoyed your video very much and so I gave it a Thumbs Up
Less than a third of the output of the mill I work in. At the field is where the first of our problems happen - lead shot from grouse & pheasant shoots.
King Arthur bread flour is the only flour I will buy it for the holiday baking.
Sorry you ran into one of the driest years Texas has encountered. You know, Kansas had a bumper crop of red winter wheat this year, the fields were full of goodness.
You ought to go pay a visit to a corn meal mill company by the name of the Chelsea Milling Company, home of the 'Jiffy" mixes.
I think you just helped them sell some more bags of flour. lol
I do use KA as well in my cooking. It is a really nice flour to use.
This looks like a fun place to work..I work in a chicken plant and it is just too much water everywhere
Maybe it's just me, but those muffins didn't seem to rise very well.....
The amount of spring in the pan would be one indicator of how the mix performs. I suspect they probably put in just the amount that will come up level with the rim of the cup IF the spring is good. It would make for an easy visual test that way.
I use flour extensively in my household,but very rarely buy King Arthur.I never encourage over pricing.
Kinda scary that only 2% of people are farmers for the entire world. That number should by higher in my opinion. I would love to someday get into farming myself. Whether it’s live stock or other food products.
What’s more scary is watching the WEF try to eliminate all farmers in real time
AMAZING 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Gold medal flour is iconic. Pilsbury is iconic. Dont overuse the word. Give me a breeak.
Whats the basic ingredients for the king arthur flour ... Im very interisting.. And on milling and shifting process whether the directions for dissociate the seeds from the plants.. And to the best procure results seen from what.. How to categories quality and quantity from the seeds.. Thankyou..
Jorden takes her job seriously
I did not see the dumpling laboratory; the flour always gives the end product. Do not forget the various broths flavours, this targets the end users of your product that of course is flour; and essential ingredient in most cultures and ethnic groups. #FlourIsEssential #FlourHowMoistItCanBe Comments Please Sent 10 February 2024 1:24AM CST Texas
Identical Panhandle house brand. I’ll buy it if I ever see it!
Super Sick!! Unbelievably AWESOME 👌🏼 💯💪🏼
By the time you watch this, DC will have sent another 20 billion to Ukraine instead of the country's infrastructure, border security, and farmers/industry
You were correct! 💯
you didn't show the people bagging the husks
Is the baking tester lady available??? 😁
Pretty cool!
I don't bake but I think I'm going to go out and buy some King Authur flour just to have!
Those grain bins scared me as a child and if I’m being honest still do today… my father and my uncle were both farmers and one day a raccoon was trapped in the grain bin and my uncle climb in and he got stuck in the grain…
Flour is the base of life ! Without it civilization would not exist, period! People (especially Keto maniacs -joke-) tend to forget it
Cheers from San Diego California
My sentiments exactly, all the grains are holy in my book
3:10 Did anyone else get uncomfortable when Dan had his arm on the reel of the header, or was it just me? I know the machine was not running but it still looked dangerous.
AHA!!! All the middle stages of the production of the flour does not exist!!! As i have work and dedign mills and machine for mills, i only can say: same on you!!! You forgot to mension with images on the video of some very "interisting" places os the mill, llike the machine (or machines) that put the chemical additives in the flour!!!
The host definitely hit on the farmer.
The first measurement said 11.3 percent Protein, and the women said it was fine. But in the end they said it needs at least 12.7 percent protein in the weed to get 11.7 percent in the flour. 🧐🤷
Many of King Arthur's flours are blends of flours milled from different kinds of wheat. Mixing flour is how you deliver a consistent exact protein percentage.
No discussion of the risk of fires and explosions?
I love King Arthur floor
Our flour oh yes!
I am surprised they baked muffins as the high protein flour is mainly used for baking bread rolls and loaves of bread.
This was for the AP flour, 11.7% so muffins are for that test. :)
