Importance Of Owning Custom Grain Mills

By Jeffrey White


Home grinding is a tradition that has been around for some time and every day more people are accepting it. In the past, mortar and pestle were used to grind grains but with time we have seen better-developed grinders that make the process easier. There are a lot of merits of a grinding your own wheat at home. Improved health is one of the major benefits. The following are advantages of custom grain mills that families can enjoy.

It reduces waste and spoilage of flour in the house. This is because you grind just the right amount of flour needed. Most people buy flour from the grocery stores in bulk. Storing this flour is quite difficult since moisture affects it. The paper packaging does not really protect the floor from moisture. The moisture makes the flour stale. When grinding your own flour, you are able to prevent wastage and spoilage.

You have more options than you would when buying whole grain flour from stores. This is because you can grind whatever you want. There are different kinds of wheat that you can try out. You can grind any gluten-free food. Example of foods that you can grind are beans, corn, rice, quinoa, and oats. Flour from these foods may not even be available at the stores.

Another important benefit is that you have control over the texture of your flour. You are able to determine how fine your flour should be. There are settings that influence the texture of flour. You can experiment with different grains to know the right texture for you. With commercially milled flour, you do not have a say on the texture yet it might a big issue for you.

Freshly milled flour is known to have a better taste and flavor than the one bought from the store. This has not been scientifically proved but many people can confirm it. Generally, fresh foods taste better. Cooking bread from freshly baked flour may make you enjoy breakfast more.

The reason most people shy away from grinders is the upfront cost. They only focus on that cost and conclude that it is expensive. That conclusion is far from the truth because grinders are very cost effective. In the long run, you will have made a lot of savings on your kitchen budget.

There are a lot of nutritional benefits associated with grinding your own flour at home. These benefits cannot be ignored. You are able to eat whole grain foods that improve your health in different ways. Your immunity gets stronger and the risks of getting chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes are reduced. Commercially milled flour often contains added preservatives that might be harmful to your body.

A lot of space in the kitchen is also saved when you are grinding flour at your residence. You will mostly have grains stored and not flour. Grains do not require much space compared to flour. One cup of grain is almost equivalent to one and a half cup of flour. Flour takes up more space.
