Ready to buy a home grain mill?

Vickilynn's baking day

So, you’ve read the articles and come to the conclusion that freshly-ground whole grains are better for your family than purchased flour that may be rancid after sitting in warehouses, trucks and shelves. You’ve come to the understanding that using whole grain flour immediately after milling it affords the most complete nutrition (and taste) possible.

In our previous article (Grain Mill Overview), we discuss basic mill issues. In our Real Food Living FAQs, we share personal experience and answer Frequently Asked Questions on why to buy, choosing the right one and using several types of grain mills for the home.

Now the next step is to determine what type of home grain mill fits your family needs and budget.

• Manual grinding: This is important to determine at the beginning and defines your actual need. If you are leaning more towards milling off the grid, or for emergencies, or for traveling, camping etc. and you either have good arm strength or have family and/or friends that can help you mill, the manual grain mill is an excellent option. Some models are small, portable and pretty inexpensive.
• Electric grinding: If your flour needs are very large, or you mill very frequently, or you do not have physical help with a manual mill, or you have a consistent source of electricity, the electric mills are fast, easy and can handle large amounts of grain at one time with no elbow grease.
