    If it makes you feel a little better, the added vitamins and minerals to flour is usually to make sure that those eating them don't become deficient. Those flours and other things, like cereal, are called fortified or enriched. Enriched flour came to be in the 1930's to help those struggling from the great depression to not become iron deficient. I am not saying that everything added to some flours are the best, but some additives are not for shelf-life.

    • @called_to_homestead

      Sadly the reason they have to add these things back in is because they are taken out during the processing to make the flour shelf stable. :( Instead of adding back in the bran, etc that has all of the good stuff, they make more money by selling it separately and adding vitamins.

      Yes! Synthetic is not the same and is certainly not processed the same in our bodies. Also, they add huge amounts of gluten (way more than naturally occurs). It’s a wonder why so many are developing an intolerance.

    • @called_to_homestead
      @called_to_homestead 3 роки тому +2

      Yes but the deficiencies were solely caused by the flour processing, removing the “good stuff” to make it shelf stable. Instead of putting it back in, they had already found a “niche” to sell the bran separately so they instead add synthetic to make up for it.

    I normally never post stuff but as someone with multiple food allergies, I know that lactose allergy is not just tummy trouble. It can also be runny nose, extra mucus. You mentioned you switched Seth back to cow's milk, that might still be an issue. I truly have never commented on anyone's video but as someone who is allergic (not intolerant) to milk, eggs, chicken, and wheat those symptoms can appear to be a cold.

    FYI - The vitamins added aren't to keep the flour from going bad, but to address vitamin & mineral deficiencies in the broader population. So some additives are for maintenance of population health & (at least in Australia) it is illegal to sell wheat flour WITHOUT those additives. I think folic acid/folate is one of those, precisely for the reason they are included prenatal multivitamins. Perhaps if you want to continue with the one ingredient rule those kinds of additives could be allowed :) Also, the flour you grind at home will be whole wheat, not white, & all whole wheat flour, whether milled at home or from the store, "should" be frozen because the fats in the germ of the wheat go rancid eventually, it's not just the lack of additives.

      @@jessstewart5483 apologies. I may have bread & flour mixed up there. Regardless, the addition of vitamins (folate & thiamine) to bread products (whether to the flour or the bread during dough making) is a public nutrition strategy, not for a preservative action in the flour, so I wouldn't view it as an issue from a home bread-making point of view, to use flour with those ingredients, which everyone needs to get from what they eat anyway. Especially if the costs/effort involved in milling, storing & using the home milled flour is varstly outweighed by the enjoyment & convenience of using a very minimally processed product, such as flour. But it is everyone's choice to make about the ingredients they use, of course.

Our bodies are very efficient at get rid of excess nutrients. I am not aware of any evidence that shows that synthetic folate acts any differently in the body, than the naturally occurring substrate? I'm not a biochemist but I understand that the synthesized version of a vitamin/mineral is typically identical in form to its naturally occurring counterpart. In fact, the prevalence of neural tube defects significantly reduced after introduction of folate into the food system and recommendations to pregnant women to supplement with the synthesised versions. There is plenty of gluten sensitivity in Australia, & that sensitivity exists separate to fortified products.

Also, there is plenty of gluten sensitivity in the Australian population, separate to fortified food products & multi-vitamin taking. There may well be individual differences in how these synthetic vitamins are processed, but that needs to be determined on a case-by-case basis, not assumed of everyone & thus removed from everyone's diet "just in case" - the nutritional risks far outweigh the potential benefits.

      We have such a huge country and huge areas of food insecurity. We have to produce food that will not go badly as quickly and affordable. The Netherlands has 17 million people, the US has 330 million of which 34 million are living in poverty. And a great many more are close to the poverty line. The comparison doesn’t work.
      When given the choice, people want fresh food that is affordable. It’s just not often the case. So many Americans are feeding their families the absolute best foods that they can afford and have available to them and sometimes that looks like flour with six ingredients.

It is much more quite and can produce everything from cracked grain to very fine flour. We buy our berries in bulk and store them in 5 galling buckets in our cold storage. We just mill the flour as need, we don’t store the flour. This makes the best baked goods and bread!

    As someone who has worked in the food industry extensively, I just have to say that a lot of those ingredients especially in dry grain products like flour, rice, cereal etc. are actually just vitamins that are put in there to make sure people are not deficient. I believe those additions were started in the depression and WWI/WWII era. That is why you will often see the word “fortified” on bread packages and especially “enriched” on rice packages. Those vitamins are not to extend shelf life, although I’m sure there are many products that put extra stuff in to extend shelf life. Still a good thing to check your labels for added sugars and preservatives you may not want in your food though!

    Just FYI, brown rice does not store long term only about 6months because of the oil in it, it will go rancid. You can extend its shelf life up to two years if you vacuum seal and store in freezer. But just sitting in a cupboard it doesn’t last long...

    I make my own vegetable stock with all of the peelings, ends, and skins, etc. from the vegetables with which I cook. I throw the peels, etc. into plastic containers or baggies and make a lot of stock when my supply gets big enough for a soup pot. It is very low salt. When I buy chicken, I buy it with the skins, and make chicken stock with any trimmings or skin I take off. If you cool it in the fridge you can take off the layer of fat that forms on top, so it’s low salt and low fat. You can put some vegetable peelings in the pot when you make meat stock, and it’s got extra flavor.

    You can also cut the tortillas into strips and either air fry them,bake them or deep fry them and use them as salad toppings instead of bread croutons. I am gluten free and my husband uses the corn tortillas. He also cuts them into triangles and makes my chips. He seasons them with sea salt . Also he makes some with cinnamon and sugar so I can have a sweet treat. I hope everyone is doing well now. Stay safe and keep warm. I love your channel.

    You may already know this, but the reason that so many vitamins and other chemicals are added back into the white flour is that the wheat germ is removed, this is referred to as enriched flour and is usually bleached white. The wheat germ contains various vitamins and oil. The chemicals are added back into the flour to compensate for the loss. It will keep forever. Whole wheat ( or other whole grain) retains the wheat germ with its vitamins and oil. If the whole grain flour is kept in warm areas the oil in the ground flour will go rancid. I store my whole grain flours in my refrigerator in smaller quantities for ease of use and larger quantities in the freezer.

    My grandma always made cornmeal tortillas when I was growing up. You make them with cornmeal, flour, salt, water and eggs. It’s a thin batter and you spread it out thin on a griddle, cook until they look dry on the top and then flip and cook for about 30 more seconds. They wouldn’t work for nachos but are really good for tacos!
    1/2 cup cornmeal
    1 cup flour
    1 egg
    1 tsp salt

    My parents still get their flour from a local, old fashioned mill, that uses same technology as 200 years ago and doesn't add anything to make it preserve better, but that flour doesn't have to be frozen. It keeps normally, as any other, for a very long in paper bags or storage containers, as long as it's stored in a dry place. Back in the old days people didn't have freezers to store their flour, yet it had to last for the entire year, until next harvest
