Has anyone used this to mill sprouted, then dehydrated, (to dry it completely) wheat? to create sprouted flour

I just called to ask the company this question before making the purchase (as grinding sprouted berries is a must for me), and they said it is just fine as long as the sprouted berries are completely dry/dehydrated before putting them through the mill.

I've sprouted kamut and einkorn, then dried, and ground without any problems at all. This is really a great mill for making flours.

I have never tried it but I found this link on the WonderMill web site that says you can: http://www.thewondermill.com/index.php/module/statics/action/view_listing/page/32

I make my own flour out of the wheat berries. I have used a bunch of different varieties of wheat berries with the same results. Moisture is the key ingredient to allowing the wheat berries to sprout. If you do not want them to sprout, keep them dry. I am afraid that if you freeze them, they will pick up what is called freezer scent prior to when you mill the berries. My suggestion would be to use a nice sealing moisture barrier bag. This is how I treat my product. Alternately, some people will sprout their wheat berries in an incubater then after a series of days of growth, put them in a dehydrater to remove water. The next step is to mill the dehydrated sprouts. I have not done this operation as it is labor intensive. I have other friends that have and really like the product.

Yes you can use this but it is whole wheat so it isn't going to taste exactly the same. I normally make bread with it and have made pancakes with it and they both came out great.

I have not. I have used this a number of times to make sourdough bread in the oven and it works well. Any whole wheat produces denser bread no matter the method of cooking.

We have made a corn meal similar in size and consistency of store bought. But otherwise haven't used it for cracked oats or wheat. I believe it would work well.

Yes I use it quite adequatly without the timer. In fact your supposed to turn the trays 180 deg. Halfway thru drying process ( approx. 2 hrs.)This is the way I've always done it and with great results.This dehydrator is specifically designed to operate with certain parameters and guidelines the rotation being one and also always having all trays in dehydrator even when there empty. But I'm curious if you or anyone else will or have done it using the timer w/o rotating I would really like to know how it turns out.

I haven't used a food mill to reduce a dry food to a powder, but I don't think it would work. A food mill is for moist foods, I don't think it would do much if anything with something dry and light like dried greens. A food processor is probably your best bet.

It was a good product - but I don't think it was made from sprouted grain - which was what I really wanted though. I really liked it in a pizza dough recipe. It is simply flour made from many grains and legumes. It doesn't say it's sprouted anywhere on the packaging.

I never thought of dehydrating sprouted grains but would probably try it on a tray instead of a screen.

I bought this to grind wet corn treated with All, and made my own Masa dough. It was perfect. I have a Magic Mill as wellMas KitchenAid grain mill attachment for dry grain grinding.

No, I made bread by hand only with this flour. I do not own a bread machine. My favorite recipe was where you let the majority of the flour soak over night. I would soak 3 cups of flour in 1 cup warm water(sometimes throwing in a handful of oatmeal or flax) then the next morning add the rest of the ingredients. It also seemed to rise better but I did knead for 15 minutes. Totally flour I used in the recipe was approx. 4 cups with a bit more for kneading. I got 2 8x5 loaves out of it. I found the recipe via google.

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.

SnowyJay, have you used this for herbs, nuts, seeds, dried dandelion root, etc? If not, what did you end up buying? I am interested in purchasing ONE mill - mostly used for nut, seed, dry roots.

All the grains and seeds in this flour were sprouted, allowed to dry, and then ground into flour. It is ready to use. You should refer to the text cited in the name of this product to understand the circumstances that led to its creation.

I see two conflicting answers to this question. In my research, one nutritionist, and a food scientist who is my sister, both say it is sprouted. It is my understanding that people with wheat issues can use this flour be cause it is sprouted.

"Can your grains be sprouted?"Any whole grains that have not been heated or hulled can be sprouted. Items that will not sprout include Organic Kasha, Oats and Pearl Barley. We do not offer any sprouted grains or sprouted grain flours." from http://www.bobsredmill.com/faqs.html#SP4 I've never tried it. Amazon has this one specifically for sprouting but more pricey: http://www.amazon.com/Dried-Beans-Organic-Sprouting-Seed/dp/B000P9WGF8

I have not had much luck with making whole wheat/whole grain breads. I have tried using the recipes in the book that came with it & followed recipe exactly, no luck. I have made homemade breads of all types by hand for years so I am not a novice bread baker. I would try a different machine.
