I Just Love Wheat


I was wondering what nutrients we will be getting once we're grinding wheat regularly (like a home foodstorage program recommends) and eating it. Here is a link, and wheat is rich in magnesium, thiamine, niacin, and iron, which are so important. I feel bad for those with wheat allergies that have to miss out on these nutrients. Wheat has weak spots in providing folate, vitamin B12, vitamin C, riboflavin, etc, so we'll need to keep researching those holes in our nutrition and fill them in. Take a look at wheat's nutrient content at nutrition data.com:

soft white wheat

hard white wheat


As a sidenote, Here's a "wow" video on nutrition and behavior: Professor Blaylock on Nutrition
