The Great Grain Robbery

Want to know what your family is being “shorted” by eating food made with “white flour”?  The first of the six vials in this set contain whole grain wheat kernels, recognized throughout  history as the “staff of life.” At the opposite end is enriched bleached white flour … as gleaming and nutritionless as industrial science can make it.

The four middle vials showcase the nutritional riches that today’s commercial millers sacrifice on the altar of unlimited shelf life and the almighty dollar. The bran, middlings, wheat germ, and wheat germ oil, where virtually all the goodness of the whole grain resides have all been removed.  None of that goodness remains in enriched, bleached white flour or degermed corn flour- but you can have it all when you serve your family  Franke’s Hillside Farm cornmeal products made with certified whole grain organic ingredients. 

The goal at FrankesHillsideFarm.com is to produce the finest tasting Gluten Free, Non-GMO, organic whole grain products available in the marketplace. Now you can enjoy Franke’s Hillside Farm Premium Popcorn products all year long by serving your family products from Franke’s Hillside Farm, made with certified whole grain organic ingredients.  Grown on our family farm in Nebraska, from all natural certified organic premium popcorn & stoneground.

Ironically, livestock producers feed higher quality grains to their cows, pigs, and chickens than what commercial millers produce for humans. Both start with ordinary yellow field corn, but commercial millers remove the ingredients contained within the four middle vials (shown in the image above) allowing them to store their product forever.  Enriched, bleached white flour and degermed corn flour are the result. Livestock producers on the other hand, know that raising healthy animals requires feeding the whole grain kernel, so they leave the ingredients contained within the four middle vials intact. It ought to make us consumers down right angry to know that cows, pigs, and chickens eat corn that is more nutritious than what commercial millers expect their customers to eat.
