It requires 96 hours to turn white wheat into Mapl-Flake. Yet flaked foods can be made in one- fourth of that time. Why do we employ so expen- sive a process? Simply to make every atom digestible—to create a food that’s all food. 4 Wheat is largely starch. And starch, to be di- gestiblé, must be made soluble. The particles of the starch must be separated so the digestive juices can get to them. To break up the starch granules requires a high heat, long continued. With half-way methods, only half the starch will digest. The balance ferments and breeds germs in the stomach. Our wheat cured.
