I wonder if Santa will drop one of these off under my tree this year? Will you talk to my husband please! hehe.

Now that I’ve prayed about staying GF or going to whole wheat and got my answer through, well YOU partially, and other sisters to go the whole wheat route, I am anxiously awaiting the time to get a Nutrimill! How often do they go on sale through Paula? Is that the best place to buy them or does it matter?

No, 1 cups of wheat will make 1 1/2 cups of flour. :)

I’m ordering white wheat berries from Something Better for the first time. Do you have a post on storage? Do you have to store in mylar bags or will the canisters work?

i just got the Vitamix dry blade for gringing flour. I LOVE IT. I have made the best bread since I have been grinding my own. I already had the vitamix so I just bought the new canister with the grain blade. I cant believe how great it is!

Where do you get wheat berries for such a good price? I got a grain mill as a gift, but want to find a source of wheat berries that is cheaper than simply buying the flour from the store – right now I can’t!

Lara,

Grinding the wheat takes no time at all in an electric mill, so you’re not going to find that eating up a lot of time. I think it really depends on what you are currently accustomed to doing. For example, are you currently pulling frozen pancakes and things out of the freezer or are you making them from a prepared mix? If you’re making them from a pancake mix, I don’t think that you’ll find it taking you a whole lot longer to make from scratch. I’ve learned that it takes about 15 minutes to make a Cream of Soup (i.e. mushroom) as opposed to opening the can (seconds), however, the savings is well worth it…I can make my own cream of soup for a fraction of the cost. Same goes for the other prepared things…not to mention the health benefits. I think you do have to evaluate, however, what season of life you are in. A working Mom may not have time to make everything from scratch but could start small. So anyway, it all depends on what you’re trying to do. Baby steps ;) Did I mention the superior taste??? :P Happy learning!
