Community Grains asks: WHAT’S GOOD?

It’s a question needing to be asked in our world of product assertions and misinformation — each claim using all the right words. How can we discern what’s truthful and good — from soil to grain to milling to nutrition to health and for the earth.

Do you know what to look for when selecting grain?

Do you know what to look for when selecting grain? As consumers, our main source of information is often food producers who don’t tell the full story. Unfortunately, it can be hard to know if the people producing our food have our best interest in mind. Scientist Russell Jones talked with Community Grains about what a grain miller wants versus what a health conscious consumer wants from their wheat.

We recently visited Fritz Durst at Tule Farms to watch the harvest of this year’s wheat. There is so much planning that goes into this process- Durst has even figured out the optimal size to chop left over wheat plant material to leave it in the field and make the healthiest soil for next year’s crop! It’s incredible to watch wheat in all of the stages of its journey to our products.

Fritz Durst from Tule Farms, one of our main grain sources, knows that the typical measures of success in a wheat harvest are important, but there’s more to the picture than just protein and yield. This year, he’s especially excited about the flavor of the wheat.

At Community Grains, we believe in true whole grai

At Community Grains, we believe in true whole grain. White flour was popularized largely due to its longer shelf life, so how does our whole grain flour stay fresh for so long? Thanks to @mulinomarino and other milling experts willing to share their secrets, we’ve learned that taking out all the good parts of the grain isn’t the only solution.

We will be sharing more throughout the week about what makes good milling (and what hammering is)- stay tuned to learn more!

The Community Grains team took a field trip to Tul

The Community Grains team took a field trip to Tule Farms at the end of April to see the growing stage of the wheat that will go into our delicious products. It was was green and lush.

The wheat has been slowly drying out in the field and is nearly ready for harvest. We are excited to take another trip out there to share more about the process of how these grasses turn into the kernels we use!
