How to Grind Wheat Without a Mill

Grinding flour at home means fresher, more flavorful flour. By grinding the wheat at home, the grain retains more nutrients, vitamins and minerals. Various techniques are available, such as using a kitchen blender to grind wheat berries into ground consistency.

Things You'll Need

• Wheat berries (red or white)
• Blender

Instructions

1. Place the wheat berries in the blender compartment and cover the top with the lid. Ensure the lid is tightly secured.

2. Set the blender to the "chop" setting and on the "high" setting. Allow the blender to work for about one minute.

3. Turn the blender off, remove the lid, and use a spoon to stir the flour and check the consistency.

4. Repeat the process again if you require a finer consistency.

Tips & Warnings

• Red wheat berries are heartier and richer in their flavor, while white wheat berries are softer and milder in texture and flavor.
