Part Three of Tip 1 - Milling with Fresh Whole Grains, Milling Wheat at Home Tip 1 - Part 3, Whole Grain Milling Tip 1 - Part 3, Grain Milling from Home - Do It Yourself, Convince Yourself of the Benefits to Milling at Home

This is part three of tip #1 on why to bother milling your own wheat and grains at home. Many people may ask "You do WHAT?" and "Why bother?". This brief tip helps you convince yourself that you can do this and enjoy the benefits to milling grains at home.

Tip #1 - “You do WHAT?  Why bother?” - Part Three

Now that you have tried the previous tips and attempted to reason with friends and family that it is more healthy, and you can make a cheaper/healthier loaf of bread and that the storage life is longer, you may be like I was, trying to convince yourself that you can DO this (I can, right?). 

Here are a few more little tips I have learned to show myself ‘why to bother’:

• It takes no more time than grabbing a bag of dead flour.  Throw the grains in the Nutrimill, turn it on and by the time I’ve gathered the other ingredients for the recipe, the mill is done.

• Even the Nutrimill has saved us money!  We eat pizza every Friday night.  We used to order 3 Large pizzas from Papa Johns, Dominos or Little Caesars.  At the tune of between $30-$40 any given Friday.  Now I make pizza crusts ahead of time and use fresh ingredients (and I might add less fats/grease) and make 3 16 inch pizzas for $10.00 total!  In less than three months, we had paid for the mill on pizza nights alone!

•  Last but not least, you don’t have to start out as a purist.  If you HAVE to add, change or substitute a pinch here and there to get your family to eat the freshly milled grains that are so packed with nutrients, then just do that until you have experimented enough to use only the grains you mill.  Using even 3/4 of a cup of freshly milled wheat vs. the usual ‘dead bagged flour’ gives your family more fiber, E and other phyto nutrients than they can get from fast foods or frozen waffles. 

Relax.  EnJOY it!

Now not only are you convinced because of these little tips, but your friends and family will see the confidence in you and not worry that you will soon begin brushing your teeth with sugar or go back to believing the world is flat, just because you mill grains at home.  Milling grains at home is not old fashioned, it just makes good sense.
