Back To Basics Grain Mill

If you're like many people these days, you're taking a hard look at the foods your family is eating. You're cutting out processed foods more and more. You're cooking more meals at home using fresh ingredients, and eating less out-of-the-box or fast food meals.

A great way to incorporate more fresh, unprocessed foods into your cooking is to start grinding your own flour. Grinding your own grains into flour let you:
- Eat healther by incorporating more whole grains into your diet. You'll also get more nutrients out of the flour since it's not processed.
- Save money, as whole grains sell cheaper than pre-made flours (and they last a lot longer too).
- Experience the great taste of foods that are prepared with fresh flour.
 

If you'd like to try grinding your own grains, the Back To Basic Grain Mill is a great one to start with. It's a compact hand grinder that can grind fine, whole-grain flours and coarse-grain cereals and has stainless steel grinding cones for longevity. And, it's only $59.00 (compared to the hundreds of dollars that electric grinders can cost).
