Grain Mills are a great tool that will make the ingredients you are eating in your food worthwhile. What do you eat for breakfast? Are you running on empty all day? Now is the time to take a look at how you start your day. What?s in your breakfast cereal, that piece of toast and whatever else you eat? After you figure it out you may find that you really are running on empty.

I grabbed a box of non-sugared Raisin Bran. It said there were 19 grams of sugar in one cup of cereal. There are 4.2 grams of granulated sugar for each teaspoon. So in each cup of my Raisin Bran there are 4.5 teaspoons of sugar. That?s a lot of sugar for a non-sugared cereal.

When you go to the store to buy things look at the grams of sugar listed on the item and divide by four and you will discover how many teaspoons of sugar you are eating with each serving. It will amaze you!

I have a couple of items in my kitchen that make eating a good breakfast really easy for me: A Manual Wheat Grinder and a K Tec Grain Mill. In a couple of minutes and a cup of wheat kernels or dried corn I can make myself some delicious cereal. If I want some light pancakes or waffles, my K Tec Grain Mill quickly makes a very light, smooth, wheat flour that is about the best I have ever eaten. I cook up any extra pancake mix and put the pancakes into a plastic Ziploc bag and eat them for snacks. They are great! To keep the sugar levels down I use fresh fruit as a topping.
By using my Manual Wheat Grinder and a K Tec Grain Mill, I am using the natural unrefined wheat or corn without stripping them of their natural goodness. My Grain Mill will mill all dry grains including corn, wheat, rice, barley, and oats. Oily soy beans turn into nutritious, high protein flour and hard popcorn kernels transform into beautiful yellow flour bursting with flavor.
