Freshly milled whole grains are far nutritionally superior to commercially available white flour. The latter, in order to prolong their shelf life, are stripped of wheat germ oil where most of the nutritional value is contained. Home mills, therefore, are fast becoming a standard kitchen appliance in most homes.
Among the several home grain mills available in the market is the L’Equip Vital Mill Grain Mill. This mill grinds practically all non-oily grains such as wheat, spelt, rye, millet, corn, beans, rice, quinoa, and oats. This is quickly accomplished with its high speed stainless steel milling heads which are fitted with ultra-impact teeth. In a mere 3.5 minutes, 12 cups of wheat is transformed into 20 cups of nutritious fine flour. It has, however, a single fineness setting.
The hopper, with its extension, is large enough to contain 20 cups of grains. It is also provided with a lid to keep dust off the grains. The milling chamber is self-cleaning thus minimizing maintenance. Its free-flow air design also helps keep the mill’s motor from overheating.
The L’Equip Vital Mill Grain Mill comes in white plastic with easy grip handles. These help when moving the mill from storage to the work table and back again.
