Episode description

In a fun and informative conversative, IDDBA's Whitney Atkins (Vice President of Marketing and Membership) is joined in this episode by Marco Hernandez, the Director of Technical Sales for Miller Milling, and part of the Wheat Foods Council. As Marco puts it, "Flour is magic" and with us nearly every day, and he urges us not to underestimate how a cookie might change our life.

He shares a little about his 34 years in the industry and gets into the details so you can learn how not all flour is created equal, the six classes of wheat (Soft Red Winter, Hard Red Winter, Hard Red Spring, Hard White, Soft White, and Durum), the applications for each, and how choosing not just the right class of flour, but also the right specific flour is critical to success in the bakery industry, where consistent output is such a challenge.
