Our mission is to make eating whole grain as simple as possible.


What is a wheat berry?

A whole wheat berry (also called a wheat berry or wheat kernel) is the complete, intact seed of the wheat plant—essentially the whole grain in its most unprocessed form, before any milling or refining happens. 

The husk (outer inedible shell) is removed during harvesting, leaving the edible whole kernel behind. The wheat berry consists of three main parts, each contributing different nutrients, textures, and flavors when the grain is used whole (e.g., cooked as a grain) or ground into whole wheat flour. 

  1. Bran (outer layer) - fiber, B vitamins, iron, magnesium, zinc, antioxidants

  2. Germ (or wheat germ) - healthy/oils, vitamin E, vitamin B, protein, minerals

  3. Endosperm - carbs, protein, minerals

Why whole grain?

A whole wheat berry has 40 of 44 essential nutrients to live. Cooking and eating it whole allows you to enjoy these nutrients. Freshly milled flour—made by grinding whole wheat berries right before use—offers several key benefits compared to most store-bought flours, especially commercial whole wheat or refined varieties.

  1. Maximum Nutrition Retention

  2. Superior Flavor & Aroma

  3. Better Texture and Baking Performance

  4. Overall Health Benefits (reduced risk of heart disease, diabetes, and better digestion)
