₹350.00₹225.00
Grain milled manually or using a stone mill is considered superior to modern roller mills for several reasons:
Nutrient Preservation: Modern mills operate at very high speeds (500-800 r/min)
, which can cause frictional temperatures to reach 120°C. This excessive heat destroys vitamins (especially B and E), enzymes, and healthy fats. In contrast, hand mills operate at slower speeds (24-26 r/min) and lower temperatures (below 38°C), preserving the grain's natural properties.
Whole Grain Integrity: Large-scale milling removes the bran and germ from the grain to prevent it from spoiling over time. However, these components are the main sources of fiber, minerals, and healthy fats. Hand-milling retains all these nutrients.
Better Digestion and Lower GI: Hand-milled flour is slightly coarser and has a higher fiber content. The high fiber content results in a lower glycemic index (GI), which helps control blood sugar and promotes better digestion.
Freshness & Flavor: Market-milled flour can be weeks or months old, reducing its quality. Freshly milled flour retains its natural aroma and flavor, resulting in more delicious and soft rotis.
