Abstract
Milling quality soft and hard wheat is milled by first removing germ and outer bran layers and germ, amounting to approximately 6% of the weight of the wheat in a vertrical pearler. The pearled wheat is then milled in a conventional roller mill to produce flour and farina. Unexpectedly high yields have been observed, and the process yields a milled product which is unusually low in pericarp cell wall fragments for a given ash content and high in aleurone content. An unusually high proportion of the total food grade product is low ash product.
