How coarse can you grind? Can this be used to make cracked wheat?

It's adjustable for either fine flour or course cracked wheat, but make sure your grains are dry as a bone or it will clog the system easily.

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

although I haven't tried it yet, I did do a lot of reading before I purchased it. It should grind nuts, grains, and dried beans. We purchased it for emergency use. I own an electric wheat grinder.

No, it makes it very fine like flour. If you just want to crack grains I suggest trying a food processor on "pulse".

I've never done that but I'm sure it can be done my father uses a grinding bowl and it does get a fine texture. I use a salt grinder but I prefer to use the salt to cook in its natural state.

It will only grind dry corn or wheat, it will not work with soft or wet grains.

It will not grind anything with moisture, so nuts are not a possibility. It will ruin the grinder

Depending on the grains you want to grind, this should work for what you want. I use it to grind various grains for a 10 grain bread which provides a nice crunchy texture and not just for fine flour. You can't use the grinder for oily grains (Hops?) as the oil will clog the grinder.

Not certain about cream of wheat, but it will do cornmeal if that helps. I have an old hand mill that I use for coarse stuff.

Hi Gerald, This Ninja model was not intended for grinding grain. However, I have ground raw and soaked cashews with it. It works, but takes a long time or in the case of the soaked nuts, does not get smooth enough for a raw cheesecake crust. I had to switch the nuts to the VitaMix to finish the job. The Ninja is great for small jobs, or tough frozen ones, but I won't be grinding grains or nuts in it anymore. I would suggest a separate mill, if you are doing a lot of grinding, or invest in the VitaMix or BlendTec with the grain pitchers.

It can grind as fine or as coarse as you want depending on how long you run it. I use it for grinding the beans for all my coffee, whether it's coarse for my Chemex of really fine for my espresso.

We have not tried that yet. This was for my husband, and so far he has only done a medium/fine grind.

Not sure of your "super coarse" concept, but in my opinion, the coarsest grind is too big for table use . . . good luck!

I've not tried to grind grain with mine, but it is very powerful, so I imagine it could. I regularly make smoothies with lots of frozen fruit and it pulverizes them in no time at all.

I am not sure about nixtamal (?) however, the more you pass the grain through the grinder and tighten the pressure the finer it becomes. I did hard winter wheat and it became very fine, so much so I could have used it for cake flour.

Yes , you can. But make sure that the corn (or any other grain) you put for grinding should be very dry. You have to adjust the knob on mill for desired coarseness. I once made very coarse flour out of wheat berries for making sweet pudding.
