Do these wheat berries require grinding to mill flour for useage?

No. It does not require grinding. the 10lb bag of 100% Whole Grain, Organic Sprouted Wheat flour is ground flour and ready to use. it makes fabulous bread in my bread maker.

Yes, but only on the very fine setting, and then very slowly if you are grinding by hand. If you need flour that fine, you should consider motorizing.

As far as I can tell they are similar, except the whole oat powder has less of the oat removed prior to processing. This product also appears to be slightly more coarse than oat flour, so it would likely not be suitable as a wheat flour replacement.

Yes and no, You can adjust the grinding plate wide enough so that you could run your wheat through it and hull it. Obviously you would then have to winnow the wheat afterwards. As far as the "foreign objects" you would want to make sure that any rocks or very hard items are not run through the mill because it could damage the cast iron burrs. (I would use a screen for this, you can go to most hardware or farm and ranch supply to find different size screens to strain out the majority of the unwanted stuff, this makes it very fast to get rid of the majority of foreign material) The cleaner the grain in the beginning the less problems you will have and save a lot of time overall. This mill is the most bullet proof of all the mills I have used over the last 20 years but anything can be damaged with miss use. Having said that I have been milling wheat (off and on) for 10+ years with the same set of burrs and it is still going strong.

Yes, you can use this as you would any grain, but first you must "grind" it. You do not have to purchase a grinder, but may use your food processor or blender to do a couple or few cups at a time. I would assume that it would be the ultimate in freshness, just like grinding your own coffee beans. These wheat berries are very fresh, and yummy to chew a mouthful at a time (uncooked--raw) for a snack. Very healthful too. Or cook them like brown rice. Can do lots of things.

Unfortunately no. This is a highly specialized grain mill, it does an awesome job of turning typical grains into flour, but cannot safely handle nuts or seeds because they are too oily, nor can it safely handle grains with too high a moisture content. The oats I grind are borderline too moist, so I always follow them up with nice hard dry rice.

No. You would need a finer grind. These are stone ground and very coarse. I like that for grits but they would not cook up in the time it would take for cornbread. You might could cook them first for cornbread but you would have to be very good at recreating recipes to pull that one off! Even then these are very coarse stone ground HOMINY which is a different variety of corn, so I am not sure how that would turn out for corn bread. Just buy organic blue cornmeal by Arrowhead Mills for cornbread. Non GMO and fabulous for that application. I use kefir instead of buttermilk and it raises nice for skillet corn bread. I never use sugar in my cornbread even if the recipe calls for it. No need. If someone wants sweet, they can put honey on it. With all that said these will cook up the best grits you will ever eat!

No, they are not processed with anything. I've been to the farm. Jesse grinds whole grain corn (and only corn) in his stone mill. No additives, no processing, etc.. Note they need to be refrigerated, since they are whole grain, ie, the germ has not been removed.

Hi this is Alyssa from Palouse Brand. If wheat berries are stored in a dark, dry and cool place they can last for years.

I bought these for storage and have not used them as yet so can't really say how they are ...berries last a long time and not so long when ground but here is the web site of the growers where you can contact them ; http://palousebrand.com//index.html

I would not use the grain mill for that. You can use a blender or small coffee grinder though.

I have ground Quinia, Millet, Armiroth (sp), Rice, Flax Seed and other small seeds/grains with my mill. Poppy seeds are tiny black spheres so in my opinion they would grind well but likely slowly. As I am thinking that you would not be grinding a huge amount of Poppy seeds this is likely a good mill for the task as it cleans up so easily. The main problem I see is with OILY seeds such as "sunflower" that do tend to gum up the steel burs.

No, it is not ground wheat (flour). This is hard red, unmilled wheat. You would need a grain mill if you wanted to turn it into flour.

I grind rice into flour regularly. I have the earlier version of the WonderMill (WhisperMill) and it does a fabulous job of it.

Yes I've used mine for several years and grind almost solely sprouted wheat. Never had an issue.

They are not to eat without putting them in cooked cereal ...they are sour chewy non tasting dried cranberry that can be put in a muffin or cookie dough before baking .......I would not combined them with anything else unless you can handle the taste in cold food......I will not purchased them again.....

This grain mill is very effective for that purpose. It is very easy to set the grinding stone distance to allow for setting the fineness of your flour. You can also purchase additional augers for grinding beans and corn. Bare in mind, though, that the finer the desired product, the harder it is to turn the wheel.
