okay im not the best at english so bear with me .
You said that mass produced (by corporations) bread was bad for you and lacked nutrients of 6000 years ago bread BUT artisan / farmers market bread is good for you .
The reason why the storage of milled flour is so important to my discrediting your statement is because bread and flour is not as nutritious anymore because nutrients have been removed from the flour making process so that it can be stored for long periods of time . There are many reasons we store flour beside the basic economic principle of getting the most out of your yield .
But you're not actually pinpointing the nutrient definency of bread because you are saying it is a matter of non-commercial bread when really the "problem" lies in the flour . And your artisan / farmers bread is still using commercial / processed flour . They are just adding other grains but the major ingredient is still wheat flour and our flour today is not like 6000 years ago or even 200 years ago . It is to do with prolonging the storage life of flour and that is why breads made of wheat are no longer "healthy" .
I explained this to u at length in other posts here you failed to read.
I understand milled flour won't last forever. Everyone understands that.
You can keep the grain as seeds and then mill them when u want flour. Or buy it at the market when you need it.
Another poster commented he didn't know why you kept saying that either.
Also artisan bread makers are milling their OWN flour from wheat seeds.
Also the fermenting process is also where bread gains it nutrients from. Bread is an amazing thing if you take time and think of it from a biological standpoint.
