What Are Cold-Pressed Flours and Attas and Why Use Them

🌾 What & Why Cold Pressed Flour? 🌾

Commercial milling processes, driven by the quest for higher production and profits, often strip grains of their essential nutrients. 😞

 Unlike the traditional cold pressed stone grinding method, which our grandparents relied on, modern methods compromise the natural goodness of the grain. Back then, rotis were not only tastier but also packed with natural nutrients! 🥙💪

 

🔥 The Problem with Commercial Mills

Modern mills and local atta chakkis operate at high speeds, generating intense heat that harms the flour. 🌡️ This heat:

-Oxidizes and depletes nutrients, leaving the flour nutritionally poor.

-Turns grain oils rancid, causing flour to spoil faster than cold pressed flour.

-Often operates in unhygienic conditions, compromising quality further. 😷

 

In contrast, cold pressed stone milling uses natural stones to grind grains slowly, keeping temperatures low and preserving the grain’s integrity and nutrition.🪨✨


🌱 Why Cold Pressed Stone Milled Flour is Better

Cold pressed flour stays cool during grinding, retaining:

-Essential nutrients

-Enzymes, which are destroyed in high-speed processes.

-Germ oil , which is rare powerhouse of nutrition gets oxidised in heat in commercial milling

-Bran , the most nutritious parts of the grain, making it truly whole wheat flour. 🌾

 

In Cold Pressed milling ,

Natural oils, evenly distributed, preventing rancidity and extending shelf life. 🕰️

No phytic acid, which can block mineral absorption in the body. 🚫

 

Unlike commercial flours, cold pressed flour avoids:

-Chemical bleach , agent , flour enhancer , additive and preservatives.

-Artificial additives like synthetic vitamins and minerals, often added to "fortify" flour after nutrients are lost in high-heat processing. 🧪

 

Commercial milling usually use steel or emery stone roller hence Commercial chakki has chances of Chemical leaching into flour from Chemically synthesized man-made emery stones , which some companies falsely market as traditional stone ground. 🚨 

Cold pressed flour are milled using Natural stone which is original and safe method of milling 🪨

 

The health benefits of cold-pressed flour include, but are not limited to, the following:

-As cold Pressed flour are nutritionaly far more superior than regular flour hence it's address nutritional deficiencies for a healthier lifestyle. 🥗

-Easy to digest hence better abortion of nutritions

-High Fiber as cold Pressed flour is truly whole wheat flour 

-Increase energy level in body

-Prevent chronic diseases like cardiovascular issues, diabetes, and obesity and help in reducing belly fat ❤️

-Prevent from chemical agents, preservatives & additives etc.


Commercial flour gets so hot during processing that mills often need air coolers to cool it down. 😵 Can Just imagine what nutrients are left after all that heat? Spoiler: not much! 😢


🌟 The Cold Pressed Difference

With cold pressed natural stone-ground flour, nothing is added or taken away. 🌾 Whole grain goes in, and whole grain flour comes out—pure, simple, and packed with goodness. 🙌


Switch to cold pressed flour for rotis that are not only delicious but also nourish your body the way nature intended! 🥟
