🌾 Grounded in Tradition: The Story of Our Stone-Grinded Flours
In a world racing towards shortcuts, some things are worth slowing down for. At Yaadhum, one such treasure is our stone-grinded flours—made just the way our ancestors did, without machines, without haste, and without compromise.
🌀 The Process: Why Stone Grinding?
Stone grinding is more than just a method—it’s a philosophy.
Instead of high-speed metal blades that heat and strip nutrients, we use traditional rotary stone grinders (திருக்கை கல் முறையில் ) that grind grains slowly, preserving natural oils, aroma, and flavor.
This slow process ensures that the flour retains its cooling nature, fiber content, and wholesome character—perfect for our bodies, especially in tropical climates.
💡 What Makes It Special at Yaadhum?
We don’t outsource.
The rice, millets, or pulses are grown naturally by trusted farmers and freshly stone-ground in small batches. You can often feel the warmth of just-ground flour and smell the earthy notes that only stone grinding can retain.
🌾 What We Grind with Care:
Native rice varieties like Thooyamalli, Mappillai Samba, and Karunguruvai
Sprouted millet flours (like Sprouted Ragi, Thinai, Varagu)
Idiyappam flour, Kolukattai flour, and more for festival & everyday needs

We believe food made with care heals better than any supplement.
And every time you pick our stone-ground flour, you’re choosing nourishment, tradition, and sustainability.
