Earlier, flour was grounded with hand mills or panchakki, also known by the name of 'gharaat'. The process was accomplished with slow speed and on natural stones. This retained the nutritional value of the flour, for it was accomplished without generating heat. These days, however, for larger production and profits, flour is grounded through high speed mills, which raises the temperature to the point of harming the core value of the food. Moreover, the stones used nowadays are more chemically oriented, and the consequences are expected. Therefore cold press flour is best for our health.
It is a proven fact that traditional milling is the only way to ensure flour has real flavour, integrity, and nutritional value. This is due to the fact that the whole grain is ground in a single pass between two horizontal, round millstones, thus retaining and integrating the wheat germ oil.
To put it simply with stone-ground flour nothing is added or taken away, whole grain in and whole grain flour comes out. The chakki atta is preferred more than the roller mill atta for the texture and taste of the Chapati/Roti (flatbread of India).
