Tips for Milling Grain
Flour ground with the Grain Mill will have a coarser texture than commercially ground flour. The Grain Mill grinds, and you receive, all parts of the berry; commercial grinders sift out some parts of the berry before marketing the flour.
It is not necessary to press grain into the Grain Mill hopper with your hands or any utensil. The moving grind worm will feed the grain into the grinding burrs.
One cup of grain yields between 11⁄4 and 11⁄2 cups of flour.
One cup of oats yield 7⁄8 cup of flour.
If you grind more flour than your recipe requires, store it in the refrigerator or freezer to prevent rancidity, since this product contains no preservatives.
Do not grind coffee beans in your Grain Mill; their high oil content can damage the grinding mechanism.
Do not grind grains or nuts with a high moisture or oil content, such as peanuts, sunflower seed, and soybeans. These can also damage the grinding mechanism.
