Stone Ground Whole Wheat Flour

Wheat is the only grain that has been consumed all over the world. It compensates majority of the food consumption. There is a huge range and variety of food items that can be prepared from the wheat flour.

The whole wheat flour, we produce is derived by grinding or mashing whole grains of wheat. The grinding process is so crucial as it determines the nutritional value of the flour.

We Yaadhum community have a traditional and healthy way of grinding wheat flour. Here it is done using stone grinders which grinds the whole wheat kernels slowly in order to minimize the heat and maximize the health value.

Why stone grinding instead of steel grinding?

When the wheat kernels are crushed using steel rollers to make wheat flour, the rollers produce heat that is capable of destroying the bran and germ. This strips the flour of many wholesome nutrients and vitamins. Milling wheat using stone grinders or chakki as it is called in India is more preferable as it keeps the germ of the wheat intact and produces wheat flour that is comparatively richer in nutrients

Why whole grain wheat?

Whole wheat is better than just simple wheat flour because it is a grain complete with bran, husk and endosperm. The husk and bran are removed in many types of wheat flours, stripping them of many nutrients, dietary fibers, minerals and vitamins.

Organic, whole-wheat & stone-grind is the way to go!

Organically produced whole wheat is cultivated as naturally as possible without exposure to harmful pesticides and fertilizers. Therefore, stone-ground and organic whole wheat flour, is the best choice.

Dust the working surface with flour, Divide the kneaded dough into two portions.

Roll the dough into a large thick circle. You can roll it into a 1/4″ thick circle. You can even roll it a little thinner than 1/4″.

Use a sharp knife to cut it into 1/2″ width long horizontal strips. Cut these strips vertically so that you achieve diamond cuts. Remove each cut piece and place on a plate so that you can drop them easily into the hot oil while deep frying.

Heat oil for deep frying in a heavy bottomed vessel. Place a small piece of dough in the hot oil and if it sizzles and comes to the surface of the oil, it is ready for deep frying.

Reduce flame to medium, place few of the cut pieces carefully into the hot oil without overcrowding the vessel. (Fry in batches). Deep fry till they attain a golden brown shade. You will know they are done once the sizzling of oil stops and the biscuits attain a golden shade.
