Eureka Meulens only uses high-quality, locally-produced wheat. In the region in and around Heidelberg  and Swellendam conservation farming is the norm and wheat is cultivated in soil worked by light-toothed implements rather than disturbed by the conventional disc plough. As much as possible of the residue of the harvesting process is also left on the land. As a result, the soil is high in natural organic materials and the development of soil organisms like earthworms is greatly stimulated. As a consequence the soil needs less fertiliser – especially nitrogen – and its texture and structure is improved by these sustainable practices and the effect of the soil organisms on an ongoing basis. 

During this grinding process no components are abstracted from the flour. Therefore, white bread flour at Eureka Meulens retains all the healthy wheat germ (about 3%), fibre, natural oils, vitamins and enzymes, making it rich in fibre, wholesome and nutritious. This also contributes to the extended shelf-life of bread baked with this flour. Furthermore, this gives rise to a 3 to 4 percent higher water absorption potential, definitely advantaging the economical baker.
