Whole grains deliver superior taste and nutrition, especially when it's fresh ground daily in the bakery Great Harvest style!

The USDA has recommended eating 6-8 ounces of grains each day (for the average healthy adult) and to "Make Half Your Grains Whole". At Great Harvest, we agree! We also believe that eating healthy should taste great and that the best taste comes from the freshest ingredients. That's why we fresh grind our flour everyday! You will taste the difference in breads made with the freshest, most flavorful ingredients and you'll benefit from superior whole grain nutrition.

All parts of the grain are present in whole grains. The wheat kernel consists of three parts: the bran, the germ and the endosperm. The bran is fiber rich! Fiber helps keep your digestive system healthy. Many studies have shown that diets high in fiber may help decrease the risk of heart disease, diabetes and some forms of cancer. The bran also contains B-vitamins, antioxidants and 50 percent of the grain's minerals!
