Can you use this to grind wheat berries?

I haven't tried it but I would think with a little adjusting, you could get it to do what you want.

You can but if that's all you'll ever be using it for you may just want to get a smaller capacity grinder. That said, it's a really good grinder. I've had mine several years now and it still works great.

I haven't tried this. I believe a coffee grinder would be best for these things. I have only done frozen bananas, nuts, and carrots which it pulverizes, so I assume that it can.

Yes, I'm pretty sure you could, if purchase the right grinder adapter made for it. However, keep in mind, this high speed buffer and are intended for buffing purpose only. My recommendation is to buy the right machine that is made for grinding, plus machine is not a heavy duty which made for heavy grinding and you probably will be disappointed if use this machine for others than buffing.

I don't think it would be good for that. its light weight plastic. I would just use a bench grinder for that.

Yes, but it will grind them very finely. I use it to grind both coffee and flax seed, and it does a fabulous job. For things that I want a courser grind, I usually use a small food processor that I have.

Not sure since it's not something I've tried. Don't know why not - you can get the grind as fine as you want - it's a SUPER grinder!

I doubt it: grinder is good for cracking grain. Consider this: soaking nuts overnight, pouring off water, adding fresh water, pulverizing in blender.

Yes and no, You can adjust the grinding plate wide enough so that you could run your wheat through it and hull it. Obviously you would then have to winnow the wheat afterwards. As far as the "foreign objects" you would want to make sure that any rocks or very hard items are not run through the mill because it could damage the cast iron burrs. (I would use a screen for this, you can go to most hardware or farm and ranch supply to find different size screens to strain out the majority of the unwanted stuff, this makes it very fast to get rid of the majority of foreign material) The cleaner the grain in the beginning the less problems you will have and save a lot of time overall. This mill is the most bullet proof of all the mills I have used over the last 20 years but anything can be damaged with miss use. Having said that I have been milling wheat (off and on) for 10+ years with the same set of burrs and it is still going strong.

It will grind it to a point. Not to flour consistency. Might work for what your looking to do.

Have not used it to grind grain, sorry. But it has done well with all I have used it for.

Absolutely! Its great for pretty much everything. I will say don't try and put anything frozen through, it will lock up the screw and the machine will shut down. And the highly moist fruits and veggies will give plenty juice, you can always run the expelled fibers back through the grinder. Hope this helps!

Actually I use the Hard White Wheat berries to make my flour and it has worked great for making bread. I will have to try the soft white wheat berries for biscuits and such.

Short answer: Yes. You might want to see if wheat is processed with the same equipment.

I purchased this attachment for that purpose, and I DON'T RECOMMEND IT! We are a family of Celic Disease sufferers, so in order to cut costs on grains/flours, I buy many items in bulk and grind them. This thing will NOT work for that. Nor will it work for nuts. The grain/nut paste gets caught in the grinder and cannot push it through the faceplate quickly enough. It ends up pushing the plastic ring casing off its mount and can even snap it. I worried it was also going to burn out the motor. It's really just a disaster.If you are interested in grinding those items, I REALLY recommend investing in a good burr grinder. I have had the best luck with them in grinding grain.

It grinds hard wheat berries to a medium grind flour. A whole wheat loaf has some texture to it, but isn't crunchy. Probably not quite appropriate for an espresso grind, and I'm also not sure how it would do with the oil in the beans.

Hi Beck, It does work with the juicer. I do not use it often because it takes a lot of time to grind one pound of wheat berries. The flour is fine enough for my uses. Hope this answers your question. Thanks
