Wheat Grinder Mill - Electric Or Hand Wheat Grinder Mill?

My, we have come a long way from having to pay a visit to the wheat grinder mill, or from using a grindstone and mallet to grind our wheat!

There are all kinds of wheat grinder mills to choose from, nowadays, with some of them being hand driven and many of them being electric. More and more people are investing in grain grinders of some sort, as with the price of flour going up and the uncertainty of the future, it just makes sense to stock up on wheat berries and a grain mill.

If you purchase an electric grinder, make sure it is compatible to whatever you have as back up storage. Some are only 110 volts. Or just get a hand cranked one as then you will never have to worry about not being able to use it for lack of power!

The beauty of storing wheat berries versus ground flour is that the shelf life on the berries is much longer than flour. You can store your the berries for up to twenty five years or more, if they are in sealed buckets. And your wheat grinder mill will last virtually forever!

The other benefit that comes from using your own ground wheat is the health aspect of it. It is much healthier than the store ground stuff that is full of all kinds of preservatives. Actually, my kids love chocolate cake made from fresh ground whole wheat flour.

Eating whole grains on a regular basis helps prevent cardiovascular problems, stroke, heart attacks and clogged arteries.

After you grind the wheat, make sure you store it in a cool place, I personally keep it in the freezer until I am ready to use it as it will get rancid if kept at room temperature for too long, and it takes some time to grind the wheat so if you make several weeks worth, just store it in the freezer.

When baking bread it helps to add some lecithin to break down the wheat and keeps your bread from getting too crumbly.

Many experts are predicting a worldwide or global food shortage in the near future and because of it, there are thousands of people buying up wheat grinders and wheat berries, and it may not be a bad idea as bread is a great thing to be able to have on hand when the grocery store empties out.




We have seen quite an increase in sales of wheat grinder mills online and so far companies have been able to keep up to the demand, but it may be quite different if there happens to be a mad dash for emergency food supplies!
