Grain milling is the process of turning raw grain into flour, meal, or other milled products. A wide range of grains, including wheat, corn, and oats, can be milled.
If you are a manufacturer of baked products, there’s no question that you’re familiar with sourcing bulk flour. However, you might not be fully aware of the milling process that turns a seed into the flour product you use daily. When looking to create more nutrient-dense or customized products, you may have heard that milling can make a difference. But what is milling grain, and how can milling support the creation of better products? We’re here to show you why milling is crucial to creating consistent, flavourful, and nutrient-dense foods.
At Everspring Farms, we know that flour is an integral component of many baked goods. That’s why we provide you with bulk sprouted grain and seed products to support your goals. Though wheat flour might be the most common type of flour, it is not the only grain type that can be milled. In fact, oats, corn, chickpeas, and many other grains can be milled and blended to create custom flour products. Additionally, milling can create cracked or rolled grains and other seed components like germ or bran to be used in baking. In this post, we explore the process of milling and demonstrate how we can help you create your ideal baked product with sprouted grain ingredients that are tailored to your processes.

Grain milling is the process of turning raw ingredients, such as sprouted wheat, into flour and other milled products. Milling involves grinding the raw ingredient to a desired consistency. Through milling, components of the seed, such as germ and bran, can be removed to create white flour. Alternatively, whole wheat can be milled with all components to create whole wheat flour. Through milling, ingredients can be combined to create custom blends that support your goal of creating nutritious and flavourful baked goods.
