World Flour Day
World Flour Day, March 20th, recognizes the importance of flour in our daily diets and our health.. Products made from flour provide daily sustenance to billions of people in every part of the world.
Flour is the key ingredient in delectable dishes such as pasta, cakes, pastries, bread, and biscuits. Humans have used grains ground into flour for thousands of years. Ancient humans gathered the oat kernels growing wild around them. They ground the kernels into a fine flour using a stone tool similar to a pestle.
We continue to enjoy many varieties of domesticated grains today. Several farms in the Northern Hemisphere are planning to plant these grain crops around March 20th. The earth is warming and growing. Autumn has arrived in the Southern Hemisphere. Harvest has started, and the grains have ripened, and harvest is underway.
The day honors the farmers and millers, shippers, and truckers, processors, and bakers who bring the white gold to our tables. The seeds are sown and harvests are reaped, and it's a day of gratitude and one of hope.
