Whether you’re looking for fresh wheat flour or gluten-free flour — such as almond, buckwheat, or amaranth — being able to grind your own at home is not only a wonderful experience, but it also allows for the sanctity of mind when it comes to the quality and nutrient value of your flour.
Wheat bread isn’t called the “staff of life” for no reason, it actually contains 40 of the 44 essential nutrients that our bodies need to be happy and healthy and functioning. With that said, the stuff you buy at the store may not have all of the components that make it this nutritious. Specifically, when you grind wheat berries at home you’ll be ingesting all the parts of said wheat berry including the germ, endosperm, and bran. Whole wheat that you buy at the store is made from flour in which the berry has been segmented into these three parts and then replastered together. In fact, lots of mass-produced whole wheat bread uses white bread with caramel coloring.
This means you don’t actually know how much of those initial nutrients you’re getting back.
On top of that, once a wheat berry is harvested and processed it begins to quickly break down. Ever wonder why white bread is so white? It’s been bleached in order to hide the natural yellowing of the active components. Wheat farmers will store their harvested and processed wheat flour in large silos for long periods of time. What does all this mean?
By the time you see that sack of flour or buy that loaf of bread at the store, the natural components have had a long time to break down and oftentimes contain mold or have gone rancid.
If that’s not enough to convince you to start grinding your own flour, think about saving money!
Yep, that’s right. When you purchase a sack of flour — whether its traditional wheat or gluten-free varieties — you’re also paying a portion of the processing fees. By purchasing raw grains and grinding them yourself, you’ll only be paying for the exact product instead of those extra fees. Plus, you can now purchase electric at home grinders which can pulverize your grain from coarse to superfine in 10 minutes or less!
Are you gearing up to mill your own flour? Here are some affordable home grinders — both electric and hand crank — and spanning the financial spectrum!

Marcel Hatch says “This is not a commercial grinder for use all day. It is an ideal machine for limited home use — an hour per day with breaks between grinding. In that much time, you can turn pounds of seeds and other materials into powder. The quality of the results is excellent. All materials to be ground need to be completely dry for best results. Cleaning is somewhat of a chore, but that applies to all grinders. We are very happy with this machine.”

Dee Lowe says “Does what it’s supposed to do, and does it well. Won’t grind fine enough to produce pastry flour, but it’s great for tortillas and such. If you want to stop the little bits of metal people have complained about, just grind a cup of dried pinto beans when you first get it. They will clean everything out and it will work perfectly afterward.”

The cone-shaped stainless steel grinding burrs offer smooth precision milling. Plus, when you’re finished, this small mill stores super easy in a drawer or cabinet. This grain mill costs $67.19.
Michael Richards says “The screw-type steel grinding-mechanism is able to make for finer grinding and for longer-term durability and a mere ceramic burr. This is a really excellent machine; it can very rapidly grind, very finely, the amount of spice-seeds that a person could use with any meal of vegetables or of fruit or whatever. Good printed instructions are provided with it for assembling it and using it to grind spice-seeds. It is easy to assemble, is easily clamped sturdily and securely onto a table-top, and is easy to use. We have been using it to grind, for our own consumption, chia-seed, mustard-seed, cardamom-seed, fennel-seed, anise-seed, celery-seed — all these (and many more) whole-seed spices being ready available for purchase at very reasonable prices from various sellers on Amazon.com. The price of whole spice-seeds is cheaper than the price of already-ground spice-seeds, so that there is a good deal of savings in cost available by one’s own grinding the whole spice-seeds; besides which, whole spice-seeds keep fresh better, stored in one’s kitchen, than already-ground spices, without needing to be refrigerated.”

Remnant says “I’m trying to make life more simple – homestead, pioneer, survival, etc. I was on the search for a good quality hand grain mill. Comparing prices with the aesthetic appearance made me decide to order this mill. When I got it, it appeared sturdy. The size is nice, also. I have been trying to find a way to grind chaga that I harvest. Several nights ago I started grinding chaga in my electric coffee grinder and after doing close to a pound, my coffee grinder broke. To me, dried chaga is like petrified wood! All of a sudden I thought about the hand grinder and wondered if it would be able to handle grinding something so hard. I should have started with the hand grinder to begin with! It’s grinding with ease! I have no doubt that it will be able to grind any grain that I put through it. So far, I’ve only had it set to do a medium grind, similar to store bought coffee, but I was so happy with it that I just ordered another one! I plan on dedicating one to chaga and coffee and the other one to grains and rice for flours. I would recommend this grinder, especially to preppers, and those going back to a more simple lifestyle.
