    After reading the article about white versus wheat bread and learning about the importance of leaving the grain in it’s form raises a question for me. Recently I started making my own ‘multi-grain’ bread. I have been using wheat berries, quinoa, and flaxseed and processing them in a high speed blender to create my own flour. I have been stirring in whole flax seeds and oatmeal into the dough. Am I loosing nutritional value by processing the grains into a flour? What are your suggestions to modify my recipe to keep this a healthier choice?

    Hi, dkbull87. Your recipe sounds excellent. No – grains and flaxseeds are actually easier for the body to digest when they are ground, so no worries. The processing that we recommend to avoid involves refinement.
