Stone ground flour,

South African soil.

So, why stone ground?

Our Story

Gideon, from the book Judges in the Old Testament, was threshing wheat in a winepress to protect his hard-earned harvest from the raids of the enemy. While he was taking action “the Angel of the Lord appeared to him, and said to him, ‘The Lord is with you, you mighty man of valor!’” (Judges 6:12). This is where the story of Gideon, a judge in his time begins and, in a sense, so too the story of Gideon Milling.

So, why stone ground?

What the experts have to say
There are many advantages to stone ground wheat flour. The endosperm, bran, and germ remain in their natural, original proportions. Because the stones grind slowly, the wheat germ is not exposed to excessive temperatures. Heat causes the fat from the germ portion to oxidize and become rancid and much of the vitamins to be destroyed. Since only a small amount of grain is ground at once, the fat from the germ is well distributed which also minimizes spoilage. Nutritive losses due to oxygen exposure are also limited by the fact that stone ground flour is usually coarser. As expressed in The Bread Book (Leonard, 1990), stone ground flour is preferred by many bakers and natural food advocates because of its texture, its sweet and nutty flavour, and the beliefs that it is nutritionally superior and has a better baking quality than steel-roller-milled flour.

The Gideon Milling approach

We have invested in the best stone ground milling equipment used by reputable mills across the world that are famous for their high quality, tasty stone ground flour. Here is a list of why we believe in stone grinding our flour:

  • Healthy alternative due to high dietary fibres
  • Preserves natural flavour and goodness
  • Grinds all the natural vitamins, minerals, and ballast substances
  • It is the traditional grinding method
  • Allows baking without further processing
  • Stone ground flour has a larger surface increasing the ability to absorb liquid, giving an airy and elastic dough that is easy to work with
  • Our millstones are made exclusively from natural materials such as emery, flint, and magnesite

Switched over from normal flour to only using your Stone Ground Flour in May 2020 and what a difference. Our end products are lighter and gluten friendly. A family member and I are both gluten intolerant and as a cook I struggled and dread testing season and creating new recipes, due to the side effects from normal flour. No more! Your product is friendly to the gut, no more bloating and that awful feeling. We just love it. Well done!

Ahh just wow!! I am so excited about Gideon Milling’s future. When I first found your whole wheat flour I was quite ecstatic! I got irritated with the regular whole meal flour other milling companies offer…and was looking for something new, exciting and affordable! I am happier baking enthusiast thanks to Gideon Milling!
