The NutriMill Grain Mill

I remember using one when I was a child. Believe it or not, I am not a hundred years old. I have always loved brown bread. 

About forty years ago I came across a bread recipe that the bread came out almost black. I am still looking for that recipe. It was a black and sweet bread. If anyone has it, I sure would like to hear from you. About ten years ago we purchased the electric Nutrimill grain Mill. We began to purchase wheat berries in fifty pound bags. Each time when we are ready to bake bread we grind our wheat first and then use the flour to bake the bread. Some grain mills are so loud you have to go outside with them to grind the wheat. This one however, is what they call the whisper mill, it is much quieter.

You will not have any problem with bugs getting into your wheat berries, until it is ground into flour. A fifty pound bag usually lasts us about a year. We store it in a tin can and it keeps just fine. We have enjoyed the healthiest brown bread that you could ever ask for. There are no preservatives added to this bread, nor is any of the good content taken out. That is the luxury of using the electric Nutrimill grain mill.

Technology continues to develop and improve in every field. Technology has done very well in improving in the electric Nutrimill grain mill. You will not regret your purchase.

The NutriMill

Nutrimill

What started out as a hobby has become our way of life here in the Miller house-hold. For years now, I have been home milling and baking with freshly milled flour. My absolute favorite small appliance in the kitchen is the NutriMill. The ease of this small home mill is amazing and takes no more time to use than it takes to gather all your baking ingredients. The variable texture of the mill allows for multiple dry grains and legumes to be milled into flour. I am able to mill from the smallest wheat kernels to kidney beans in the same mill - even at the same time. The bottom container (hopper) where the flour collects has the capacity to store up to 20 cups of freshly milled flour.

The NutriMill is a readily available small kitchen appliance that is no larger on the counter than a crock pot. It can be easily stored and stacked away if the counter space is not always available.

It's that easy! In a short amount of time the NutriMill has milled all the grain. It takes no longer than gathering the other ingredients needed for the recipe and now we have fresh, warm, whole wheat flour ready for wholesome and nourishing goodies.

Foods made with freshly milled flour are full of all the nutrients and vitamins as it was intended.

Stone Mills - These grain mills have the ability to grind fine flours and can be adjusted for a range of flours from fine to cracked grain consistency. Cracked is perfect for part of the brewing beer process. The more oily grains and beans should not be used as they will cause the stones to glaze. The stones will need cleaning to remove fine particles that lodge within the stones. Stones wear out over time and need replacing, depending on how often you use your home grain mill.
SteelCone Burr Mills - These home grain mills use a stainless steel milling head. They too can mill grains into a range of from fine to cracked grain consistency, however they may not be able to mill as fine as a stone mill is capable. You can mill a wider variety of grains and beans than a stone mill without fear of messing up the milling heads, they are easy to clean. Generally the steel-cone burr mill will produce flour at a slower speed, and as a bonus, operate more quietly than other home grain mills. Also, a slower speed will mean less heat will be created and less loss of nutriments. Steel cone burrs will mill most whole grains and beans, but corn and beans will need to be cracked. Then run through again on a finer setting if you want bean or corn flours. For the most part the fine flour produced is suitable for breads, muffins, pastries, etc, but the flour will not be as fine as you may desire.
Micronizing Grain Mills- These are considered the "newer technology" grain milling machine. A micronizer is made up of concentric circles of stainless steel "teeth" which spin at a very high speed. They "burst" the grain into flour when the grain comes in contact with the stainless steel milling head. The result is beautiful flours in a fraction of time, the result is also low-temperature milling. These mills will produce the finest flours and will adjust to as coarse as corn meal. Since micronizers run at very high speeds they produce flour more quickly than a steel-cone burr or stone home grain mills, but they generate a lot of noise. These are also the most popular type of grain mill on the market.

When purchasing a home grain mill

, take a VERY deep breath and relax. Mills can be expensive for electric or less for hand cranked grain mills. Investing in a kitchen appliance like a home grain mill is just that, an investment. If you do your research right the mill will be with you and tour family for years. And all of those years will be rewarded with great healthy food preparation and healthy food products.

There are so many reasons why it is important to use fresh milled flour for baking... nutrition being at the top of the list. Did you know grocery stores need flour to have an extended shelf life and in order to do so the flour is stripped of the most nutritious parts? Not only this, but flour in general starts to lose nutritional value within days of being ground. Makes you wonder what nutrition (if any) we are receiving from store bought flours!

When you grind your own fresh flour before baking you are ensuring all nutritional value is intact. You will consume every part of the grain and therefore reap the health benefits that come along with it such as prevent cardiovascular disease, stroke, heart attacks and clogged arteries!

Your fresh milled grains will taste better and you will be saving money as well! Grains and legumes can be purchased in bulk for a great discount and stored away until ready to mill. The freshness will not be lost if stored properly.
