The health benefits will shock you
After hearing Sue give a live presentation, I knew I had to have her on the podcast. She has been researching, baking with, and sharing about whole grains since the 1990s. She is truly an expert when it comes to utilizing whole wheat in your home kitchen. In this conversation, we are diving into the history and politics of wheat production, the vast array of nutrients contained in a whole grain, how to seamlessly incorporate whole grains into your baking, and more. Lately, I have become convinced that I want to get back to feeding my family whole grains instead of white flour. I hope you find inspiration from Sue's message as well!

The troubling history of white flour in the United States and its connection to disease
