Whole grains deliver superior taste and nutrition, especially when it’s fresh ground daily in the bakery – Great Harvest style!

The USDA has recommended eating six ounces of grains each day and to “Make Half Your Grains Whole”. At Great Harvest, we agree! We also believe that eating healthy should taste great and that the best taste comes from the freshest ingredients. That’s why we fresh grind our flour everyday! You will taste the difference in breads made with the freshest, most flavorful ingredients and you’ll benefit from superior whole grain nutrition.

All parts of the grain are present in whole grains. The wheat kernel consists of three parts: the bran, the germ and the endosperm. The bran is fiber rich! Fiber helps keep your digestive system healthy. Many studies have shown that diets high in fiber may help decrease the risk of heart disease, diabetes and some forms of cancer. The bran also contains B-vitamins, antioxidants and 50 percent of the grain’s minerals!

The small but powerful germ is full of many B vitamins, vitamin E, some protein and healthy unsaturated fats.

The endosperm is mostly starchy carbohydrates, proteins and small amounts of B vitamins.

You can see that by removing any part of the kernel you would be missing out on a lot of valuable nutrition. In fact, the processing of white flour removes 25 percent of the protein and 17 key nutrients. By keeping all three parts in our fresh milled flour, all the nutrients work together to create awesome tasting breads that may reduce your risk of chronic diseases and play a role in weight management.

We invite you to come and taste “the whole grain difference” at your nearest Great Harvest bakery.
