Someones give away pile to favorite item in the kitchen?

When we moved the people that sold us the house had a big huge  blue barrel full of wheat.  They didn't want to move it so I said we would take it.   I have wheat stored in my food storage as well but I figured lets use this first since mine is newer i'm sure.   

So I would take some wheat up to my moms and use her grinder to grind it up and then I store it in my freezer because it stays fresher in there.   I  don't use wheat as often as I should especially since we have a ton of it.  

I was at my sisters and she had a give away pile and I said what is this?  Its grandmas old grinder.  My eyes opened up wide..... WHAT!?!   I want it.  She didn't know if it worked or anything so I took it home and tried it out.  It works wonderfully.  I researched it a little bit and its a blend tec brand. An older version but not too old.  

You put the wheat in the top part and then turn it on and it grinds or bursts is what they said on the review of it.  It doesn't actually grind it it burst it open and smashes it somehow.  I just know it comes out so smooth and fine.  I love it.  When I would use my moms it would leave some bigger husks and so it wasn't as nice to eat.  I would usually mix in the wheat with white flour when I make stuff.  

This though is so silky smooth  Its great.  

You can see how fine it grinds it up.  I made bread with it and it will take some getting used to wheat flour as opposed to store white flour.  It cooks and reacts a little different.  I am excited though it will be so much easier to just grind my own right when I need it.  No need to store it in the freezer.  

Just yesterday I made some rolls for a family dinner and they turned out really good because it grinds the wheat up so fine.    I also ground it up right when I was making it so it was fresh. My goal is to start to make wheat bread and make it a habit so we don't have to buy bread.   It will be so much better and easier with this new toy of mine. 

The best part of this is that it was FREE  This retails for about $200 so thank you grandma for buying this and then passing it on.  I love it.  This will be part of my health and money saving journey since we have so much wheat.  I don't think I will ever have to buy it.  One womans give away pile is another womans treasure.  yay..
