HOW TO GRIND FLOUR FROM WHOLE GRAINS
It’s easy to make your own flour from grains such as wheat berries, spelt berries, rye berries, quinoa, pearled barley, amaranth, buckwheat, and more! Homemade flour is cheap, delicious, healthy, and surprisingly simple to make in a high powered blender such as a Blendtec or Vitamix, because both of these blenders are capable of grinding whole grains into flour in seconds!
The very easy practice of soaking milled flour overnight or sprouting seeds first will vastly improve its nutritional benefits and reduce the negatives from the phytic acid and the enzyme inhibitors in the grains.
