Does stone ground mean that the entire wheat kernel is ground and the germ is crushed into the flour without seperating the various parts of the wheat

It's ground with stones. What you get in this flour is the whole grain, ground together, nothing separated.

Yes. This is spelt flour. It is ground very fine. It's the consistency of bread flour you would buy only this is spelt. I really like it.

It is ground up to a powder form. Usually with spices or herbs, "ground" means a very find grind as opposed to minced or chopped or cut (you sometimes see also C/S which means Cut and Sifted) or leaf flakes or granules...unless, of course, you are talking about coffee, then "ground" does not mean that it is as fine as powder. :-)

The flour is fairly coarse. It's about like corn meal. Great fir pasta, too heavy fir bread or even biscuits.

The friction of the chopping blades imparts some heat to the wheat as it passes through. I prefer my bread with as fine a texture as whole wheat will yield, so I set the NutriMill to the highest speed setting to give the finest flour. The collecting bowl is just ever so slightly warm to the touch as I take it out of the mill, but the heat is dissipated by the time I get the top off. I imagine a more coarse grind would give even less heat.

Yes the texture is denser in the Whole Grain Cream of Wheat. There are no nuggets per se, but its pretty different from regular. Taste is less refined. It's also healthier (12%) of your fiber. I never eat regular Cream of Wheat when I can help it.

To my knowledge, it is supposed to be the same thing. However, I didn't place a grain(s) sample under a microscope to verify.

Brown Rice flour, Tapioca, potato starch, sorghum flour, amaranth flour, flax seed, teff flour... it looks like those are the grains used.

It's light, it looks like whole wheat. I've tried it in sourdough, but it has never worked for me. I use 1/2 whole wheat and 1/2 rye and it comes out like a rock. 100% whole wheat turns out fine, so I think I need to work on the ratio.

I've never tried grinding nuts and seeds for flour, because frankly I never considered using nuts or seeds for flour! The high oil content from nuts would seem to preclude doing so, but you could try it. However, there's no way to clean this unit's grinding mechanism, so chances are some of what you grind will be left inside the housing. My guess is that whatever is left will become rancid over time and likely affect whatever else you grind in the future. If I really had a desire to do that, I'd stick with something like a powerful food processor that I could clean well. But according to another poster, the answer is yes, so have at it!

I use it in a gluten-free flour mix that I make up, but I have found some suspicious grains in it that look like barley or wheat. Fortunately, I am not overly sensitive to gluten. This has to be ground for flour so you will need a grinder.

Yes, it is made to put the grains back in the material. It does a very good job.

Yes it's definitely ground. I haven't opened a package yet but it feels like a very fine flour.

They say on the package that the gluten is taken out in the processing of the barley. Whether this is true or not I don't really know.

it is groats ground smaller so the texture is completely different when cooked. it's creamy, like cream of wheat.

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.

We haven't ground any wheat or oily nuts. Primarily we grind small amounts of dried herbs by hand, which it generally handles quite nicely.

I have never seen a brew kit in which the grains were not crushed. I would say that they were crushed in this kit as well.
