GRINDING your own FLOUR

One of the great features of the OmniBlender is the dry blade and wet blade in one container.  In one competitor's blender, you have a bunch of attachments and extras to purchase.  I love that this one features both blades!
 

We did a little testing with whole grains and ground them to see how well the Omniblender did.

MILLET: 

1. pour under 2 C of grain into blender.  1 3/4 C works best as a maximum....otherwise the grains will not be completely ground.


2. use the 60 sec. function button
3. I had to use the pulse button a few times after the 60 sec. feature because I filled the container with 2 C of millet.....just to see how far I could take it...I think I'll keep it to 1 3/4 C in the future....hahaha!

I made muffins with the millet flour...but we couldn't taste them because our dog jumped up onto the counter and ate them while they were cooling...they sure looked good!!

BUCKWHEAT:
I used all of the buckwheat I had left in the house, and you can see it was only 3/4 C.  Lets see how it does in the OmniBlend V blender!  I used the same 60 sec. button and let the blender do its work.  I am very pleased with the results!  A very fine grind....you can't even see one grain left whole.  Fantastic!!!

NOTE: Please store your freshly ground flours in airtight containers in the freezer to prevent them from going rancid. 

Enjoy!
