Nutrimill Grain Mill Review and Giveaway! Compliments of Kitchen Specialties and Granary

*THIS GIVEAWAY HAS ENDED*

Back in July, I had the wonderful opportunity to work with Kitchen Specialties and Granary on a review of their Bosch Universal Plus Mixer with blender. The Bosch mixer is in my opinion the only mixer a homemaker should own. I love mine and feel blessed to have had the opportunity to review one.

Another essential kitchen item you will want to own (especially if you are in the business of baking your family's own bread) is a grain mill. Grain mills grind non-greasy grains, rice, popcorn, beans, etc into wholesome flours in a few short minutes! Whether you need 1 cup flour or 20 cups for a large batch of baking, a grain mill allows you the access to the best, highly nutritious flours for your baking and cooking needs!

Today I would like to share with you about one of the best grain mills on the market, the Nutrimill by L'EQUIP. The Nutrimill has many convenient features making it a favorite among home bakers. Some of these features include:

• Large 20 cup bowl included (most grain mills only offer a 12 cup capacity bowl or no bowl at all)
• Variable, high speed mill and texture control (mill super fine flour or coarse easily!)
• Stainless steel microburst milling heads w/pre-cracker
• Multi-Channel airflow. Cool milling extends motor life
• Double wall construction gives quieter operation
• Unique Force Flow sound/air chamber design which results in 50% noise reduction
• 1 to 1 milling ratio for wheat, from hopper to bowl (see photo below)
  
• Easy grip bowl, lid and control knobs
• Compact storage
• Precision grain feed control
• NO gumming, NO overheating, NO jamming, NO hassle
• Limited lifetime warranty against defects

The Nutrimill comes with a hopper extension which snaps to the top of the mill. Having the extension allows you to fill the hopper level full. This will fill the flour canister to it's 20 cup capacity giving you enough flour for 6 loaves of bread! When not in use the hopper extension can easily be stored away in the Nutrimill's flour canister. If you have the space, you may wish to leave the extension on at all times.


Why I love the Nutrimill:

Besides the power and speed of this grain mill, I simply love the design! The Nutrimill and it's attachments fit nicely together in one unit! There is no separate attachments to store and even the cord stores into the machine. The Nutrimill fits nicely on my counter top without taking much space. It mills quickly and efficiently without creating a mess. There has been minimal flour dust each time I have milled.
Another feature I have come to appreciate is the Nutrimills ability to stop while milling without damaging the grain mill. With other grain mills the impact chamber must be empty before starting the machine and emptied before starting. The Nutrimill is designed to be turned off or on with grain stored in the chamber. This is very convenient. You do not want to deal with a plugged grain mill!

Here is a video I filmed to show how well the Nutrimill functions. In this clip you will see how quickly the Nutrimill grinds 4 cups of hard wheat berries into 8 cups fresh wheat flour (enough for 2 loaves of bread):



There are so many reasons why it is important to use fresh milled flour for baking... nutrition being at the top of the list. Did you know grocery stores need flour to have an extended shelf life and in order to do so the flour is stripped of the most nutritious parts? Not only this, but flour in general starts to lose nutritional value within days of being ground. Makes you wonder what nutrition (if any) we are receiving from store bought flours!

When you grind your own fresh flour before baking you are ensuring all nutritional value is intact. You will consume every part of the grain and therefore reap the health benefits that come along with it such as prevent cardiovascular disease, stroke, heart attacks and clogged arteries!

Your fresh milled grains will taste better and you will be saving money as well! Grains and legumes can be purchased in bulk for a great discount and stored away until ready to mill. The freshness will not be lost if stored properly.

At Kitchen Specialties and Granary you will not only find the Nutrimill grain mill for a great price but all the other essentials you will need for home milling, baking, and cooking! They carry a wide selection of kitchen products such as quality kitchen mixers, dehydrators, juicers, bakeware, bulk grains, organic spices, specialty teas, and more! I have been so pleased with my experiences with Kitchen Specialties and Granary...friendly people, fast shipping and great customer service!
