We Are What We Eat
Hey there, my name is Claris Oas. I am an active ICU nurse at Scripps Hospital who wants to help my patients and community eat better, starting with the flour you consume. The flour available is horrible for people since it is stripped of its nutrients and spikes glucose levels.
I freshly stone mill (FSM) organic ancient grains in-house with granite stones to make whole grain flour for my baked goods. For my Walk With Me sourdough bread I simply combine organic FSM Einkorn whole wheat flour, filtered water, natural levain, honey, and salt. That’s it. Similar to the daily bread Jesus ate, packed with 40 of 44 essential nutrients found in freshly milled whole wheat flour.
How Your Flour is Made Truly Matters
*Freshly milled grain matters because most nutrients are lost within 3–7 days after milling when air and light oxidize the flour.
The bread you buy is usually made from flour milled months to years ago. Yikes! There is no nutritional value just prediabetes in the near future on that path.
Consider a balanced diet and a life-stlye that incorporates movement and lifting weights are needed for true health my fellow mates.
Now, I eat freshly milled Einkorn sourdough every day—in my pancakes, pizza, or sourdough bread. If I can help my patients before they end up in my ICU, it’s through prevention. Choosing freshly stone milled flour sets you on a healthier path far from my ICU bed plus.
Walk with me as I share this message: enjoy the benefits of a local miller. It is rare and a gift to have one in your neighborhood. Certain ancient grains that are freshly milled for whole wheat flour won’t spike your blood glucose levels. Highly processed enriched flour — in most all breads, pizza, crackers, etc. — spike glucose and lacks nutrition, contributing to the rising obesity pandemic.
Change your life one thoughtful step at a time. Start by switching your flour to freshly stone milled whole wheat flour, then add a simple daily walk after dinner. If you commit; time and the person in the mirror will reveal your success slowly. It starts with you, let’s Goooooo!
We Stand Out:
No seed oils and we use ancients grains
We mill our flour in-house
All our baked goods have levain and are cold fermented a minimum of 2 up to 7 days
We minimize light and air to our flour to optimize nutrients for our specific ancient grains
No Plastic will ever touch your baked goods- This She Shed is non plastic
Why We Stand Out
-
We proudly use organic ancient grains such as Einkorn, Khorasan, and Spelt for our baked goods. We also use rye and hard white wheat to broaden our grain variety and boost nutrition spectrum. No seed oils.
-
Every grain we use is freshly milled in-house, giving you the option of whole wheat flour or wheat flour.
Our flour is stone-milled using genuine, natural granite stones, avoiding synthetic materials like corundum-ceramic used in most other mills (Nutrimill & Mockmill)—these can release unwanted binding agents into the flour during milling.
To ensure you receive the maximum nutritional benefits, we offer amber glass storage containers for the milled flour, which is then carefully air vacuum sealed to preserve all its natural goodness.
-
All our baked goods use sourdough starter/levain and a long cold fermentation to build a healthy gut biome. This process is essential for locking in complex flavors and developing a robust probiotic that helps lower the glycemic impact of the baked goods. It takes a minimum of 2 days and last up to 7 days for the entire process.
-
From the sprout of the mill we redirect the flour into a linen beeswax covering that creates a short pathway directly into the customer's glass storage container to keep the flour fresh where I then vacuum seal it; locking in the nutrients.
-
Lastly we pride ourselves in a “Non Plastic Kitchen.” This task demands great effort and ingenuity to ensure top-quality baked goods for our valued customers.
We solely use equipment made of glass, bamboo, ceramic pots, granite slabs, natural wood, beeswax paper, linen, cotton cloth, cast iron, stainless steel containers, promoting sustainability and minimizing environmental waste since our supplies/cookware are made of nature material.
All our packaging and every single kitchen tasks rely on tables, bowls, mixers, and other traditional tools made from natural material; your food will never come into contact with plastic or seed oils at Give Us This Day.
We are a nearly licensed Cottage Food Operator (CFO) micro-bakery that truly cares about the people and friends we serve.
