I ordered a hand grinder a couple of days ago. I'm looking forward to trying it out this fall. Do you know if there is any reason you couldn't dry sweet corn and grind it for cornbread/tortillas/grits without the lime?
@@Angie_978 Yes, there are plenty of reasons. First off, sweet corn is not the same thing as flint/dent corn, and it won't make good cornbread, tortillas or grits. Second, you have to do the nixtamalization to make corn tortillas.
Almost all deer corn is GMO today we only eat my Danny Corn that i bred. When we grind ours we use a sifter to make our corn flour so we get a consistent mixture. I have sold my Danny corn all over the country now it has preformed well in many states. Great job Guys
Great show. We use an old AH Patch Blackhawk corn sheller we scrounged up at an auction. Leaves a bare cob in just a few seconds and easy to make treats for chickens. I've considered cuffing the ankle of one of my kids to a post and just have them fill 5 gallon buckets now that corn has been harvested.
(Battilani, 2016). Nixtamalization is a processing method for maize to increase nutritional value, decrease aflatoxin levels, and prepare the maize for food products. You can "add lime" or wood ash to do this highly reccomend people look into that if they are storing/growing field corn.
Great video on grinding corn. The flavor of freshly ground grits and cornmeal is so much better. We grind our own grits and cornmeal as well, we typically get about 1 cup of corn meal and about 1-1/4 of grits when we grinding 2 cups of kernels. Once I get the grit texture I like I sift them through a fine screen strainer to separate the two. It’s a little extra labor but works great. This usually takes 3 gradually finer passes through the grinder for me, 4 passes if all I want is corn meal. We normally grind it as we need it but we keep any extra fresh ground grits and cornmeal in the fridge. Luv your channel!
I love your videos!!! Especially the out takes at the end. I feel like I am getting to know you better the more I watch. Absolutely invaluable information! Thank you so much for sharing!
I'm officially obsessed with this channel!! I've learned so much and can't wait to start applying what I've learned! Thank you for sharing your knowledge - both "failures" and successes! :D
Thanks for the video, always well produced! That mill you use, is definitely a 'preppers need to have one of those', devices. We really like these teaching videos!
I have popping corn that I can not eat (seems I break a tooth every time I try and eat the stuff) but I never thought to grind it up into corn flour. Very useful video, thanks.
You might really enjoy the book, “Shucks, Shocks, and Hominy Blocks - Corn as a Way of Life in Pioneer America” by Nicholas P Hardeman. Well written, enjoyable and well researched. Shows how much America was built on King Corn.
I really appreciate the quality of content you guys put out there - always solid and professional. I also have to admit to having a wee little bit of pantry envy. :) Nice work, guys!
+Little Mountain Ranch - Thank you so much ❤️. We really do spend a lot of time and effort to try and make good stuff. It’s comments like yours that encourages us to keep improving. 😊
Thank you- you are the first person that I have found that mentioned popcorn vs. field or regular dried corn. Just the answer I needed! ( I have four 7-gallon buckets of dried popcorn that I needed to find a good use for!) I will be cracking it with my grain mill for my chickens :) . Thanks again and I'm super envious of your pantry shelving background...looks amazing! lots of space!
The best option I have for corn is frozen from the store. I dehydrated it and ground some of it, its very good for cornbread. I would love to get out of the city and back to the country to grow our own, but not a choice right now. Love your video's of your new adventure.
Damn you Jamie! Now I gotta order one of those mills! LOL. So glad you're making videos again. I've missed them. I'd like to see some videos of y'all preparing for winter. Best wishes to you, Jeremy and the girls.
I've never milled my own stuff , but am getting ready to and learning as I go ... love the bloopers...thanks for sharing as always stay safe God Bless you both and your family
Deer corn is a little bit different than other kinds of corn but it's good for eating! My great grandmother taught us how to cook it and it's quite easy! she would take the ashes from the fireplace (we used "tree" charcoal, like, go chop your own wood and make charcoal or just use the wood as it is it works either way) and boiled the corn on a mixture of water and ashes until soft. then rinsed very well, she added milk, cloves, cinnamon a little bit of salt and sugar, she boiled it from half to an hour. The flavor of deer corn is deeper and a little bit bitter, but in emergency situations you can even toast it for human consumption that is if you're worried about eating it raw (yes I said raw). But I suppose that at the end of the day it independently depends of what your body can handle, I don't get sick eating it because I've done it all my life, some other people might be different because of the (toxins?) things you mentioned. Marvelous video! have a nice day!!
That's a pretty nifty little grinder you have there! Would love to see more things you can do with it! I have really been enjoying your videos on all sorts of homesteading subjects. Thank you for sharing this great info!
I bought one of those grinders long ago when i bought a bunch of grains for long term storage. It has got in the way since but im glad i have it for hard times
Hi Guys, Beautiful video, really well done, learned a great deal from you, definitely looking into "The Wonder Mill Jr." grinder you are using in your video, you guys are great.... thanks so much for this highly informative post. Just excellent. You are looking lovely GF ! Cheers from Down Under ~ God bless your family for doing good things.
I just Loved this i have seen these grinders but when you only have a little money to spend knowing how it will work first is just wonderful!!Thank you so much for sharing this with us all to learn from!! =) Have you ever grown your own corn or wheat before i have yet to try it i feel a bit daunted on how to start even a small patch. Looking foreword to more vids and info! =)
Yes you should find yourself some good corn and make some yummy hominy. Good corn is hard to find though. Then dry it and make hominy grits. Super yum!
I wish my homebrewing sources could be as informative as this video. You've made me do my due diligence on animal corn feed quality too, for bourbon purposes not beer.
If you take that dry, empty cob and rub it against the corn, it comes off the cob much much easier and faster. Plus your fingers won't be sore when you are done.
I don’t have any first hand experience with it, but my understanding is it needs lots of air circulation. Eric over at Life in Farmland is doing some experiments on corn drying. Definitely check his channel out
Not meaning to sound trollish, but to get grits, you first have to make hominy. At least my understanding of it. Grits, coarse whitish grains, are ground from hominy, as is masa harina, the flour used to make corn tortillas. A bit of history: "Pellagra is a vitamin deficiency disease most commonly caused by a chronic lack of niacin (vitamin B3) in the diet....." "The traditional food preparation method of corn (maize), nixtamalization, by native New World cultivators who had domesticated corn required treatment of the grain with lime, an alkali. The lime treatment now has been shown to make niacin nutritionally available and reduce the chance of developing pellagra.[4] When corn cultivation was adopted worldwide, this preparation method was not accepted because the benefit was not understood. The original cultivators, often heavily dependent on corn, did not suffer from pellagra; it became common only when corn became a staple that was eaten without the traditional treatment." "In the early 1900s, pellagra reached epidemic proportions in the American South. Pellagra deaths in South Carolina numbered 1,306 during the first ten months of 1915; 100,000 Southerners were affected in 1916. At this time, the scientific community held that pellagra was probably caused by a germ or some unknown toxin in corn.[7] The Spartanburg Pellagra Hospital in Spartanburg, South Carolina, was the nation's first facility dedicated to discovering the cause of pellagra. It was established in 1914 with a special congressional appropriation to the U.S. Public Health Service (PHS) and set up primarily for research. In 1915, Joseph Goldberger, assigned to study pellagra by the Surgeon General of the United States, showed pellagra was linked to diet by inducing the disease in prisoners, using the Spartanburg Pellagra Hospital as his clinic. By 1926, Goldberger established a balanced diet or a small amount of brewer's yeast[8] prevented pellagra."
Grits are a grind. Grits can be made from hominy, but aren’t always. Hominy is made via nixtamalization (it the lime I was speaking about). It helps to increase vitamins in corn. Not necessary if you have a varied diet. That is only for those eating a diet that is primarily corn. Hominy can be ground to a dough to make masa. Make sense?
Yes, i knew about the diet. I actually grew some white hickory king field corn to make hominy out of. Old timers say it makes the best hominy. The original, old-fashioned variety of "Hickory King" corn is a tall plant, reaching between 7 1/2 and 10 feet in height at maturity. Its ears are between 7 and 8 inches long and have ten to 12 rows of white kernels. Although the cob is a bit short compared to other types of corn, the kernels of "Hickory King" are the largest found on any white corn. Its husks are wrapped tightly on the cob, making it more difficult for pests to damage the kernels. Mature "Hickory King" corn is best used to make corn nuts, grits or cornmeal.
Lol, those bloopers and flip off at the end! Great video as usual. Hey tell your husband to make some more videos with tools and loud trucks and more noisy bangy things with fire and shit. :D
OH YEAH! On the map where I live they print Creek-but almost everyone here (who ain't from the City) will tell you what crick they live near! We don't know anything about corn here in Iowa either... LOL! Keep up the good work!
Aflatoxin may be toxic but just as a psa I live in Kansas in a small farming community and there is a fungus here known as corn smut which grows little or sometimes big polyps on the leaves ears and tassels of the corn but it is not toxic it is actually edible once cooked just so you know :)
Your if videos are superb, to the point, not too long and great info! On that note, I am just happy to be German and corn is way down on my food list 😉 but my potatoes are more and more the sweet potato kind, go figure....
As always a great and informative video. By the way, what is Indian corn, you know those cobs with the brightly coloured kernels? I tried to find information about it but couldn't come up with anything.
Matthew Niedbala I actually just harvested ours (grew it as sort of an experiment) and we were wondering the best uses for it. Any suggestions? Thanks!
I love watching your videos. I learn every time. You come prepared for so many questions. Then there is a crazy woman like me that has more. Question is this. The bags of corn sold for seed and feed at the coop, that appears clean. Would this be contaminated with aflatoxin?
According to the website in Canada, all feed grown here or import are inspected but will not say what is considered acceptable. So glad you brought this to my attention.
Aflatoxin is colorless, odorless, and tasteless, and it's not the only mold toxin that can appear in food. Moreover, moldy color only indicates that it's gone to spore; mold can already be growing and you would have no good way to tell. If you're worried about contaminated corn, a visual check is NOT sufficient.
As a matter of preparedness interest; what would be a sufficient test of edibility? Growing Spuds & Beans right now & I’m looking to try growing wheat & corn to make flour so any information is being consumed like crazy.
There is another type corn....flint corn....it is not dented..it is not popcorn...Fedco Seeds sells a flint corn called Red Floridian...not spelling that last part right.. I have grown it and ground it....great for polenta. Or cornbread. Loved the video thank you.
Guildbrook Farm | Simple Sustainable Living...... it is different...which I am sure you will find when you look..unless you wish not to look of course.
Ineluctable Smith... yes thank you for that..I knew it was not spelled right..I am not at my home in WY ( to look at the seed package) where I successfully grew it...but in support of the military in Okinawa.
Wondering why the grinder lip, on the bottom side feeding into the bowl, doesn't have even a slight funnelling shape? Not exactly a "V" but a suggestion of a "V" so that everything falls more directionally into a bowl?
good video, thank you! Jamie I have seen folks use two pieces of corn to take the kernals off. Using a 5 gallon bucket, you just put a cob in each hand and rub them against each other til they're clean. And every time you say, "corn grits" I get tickled. :-) Now, do you consider corn flour and corn meal to be equal? I've always thought the flour from corn to be the finest grind, and meal was just a little more coarse. Fun and interesting items here!!
I would highly recommend you to look at Deep South Homestead and they have Danny corn that I would recommend for you to get some and try that he has a lot of videos that you can back up and look into and find the results from other people from his corn take care God bless
Do you find that the last bit of grain in the auger won't come out without adding more grain or taking the mill apart to clean. I've only used mine once but when I ran the grain through the second and third time the last, larger, bit of grain was the first out even though I tried hard to get it to run through the mill.
No haven't really had that issue. Maybe a few leftover rice when I did GF flour but not enough to comment on. It may be the type of grain you are grinding.

Love your videos. Thx for sharing :)
Aflatoxin fluoresces under black light.
How can I get the machine like this you have used to make corn flower

+Deep South Homestead - Great point. We need to get some of yours to try next season.
I believe Art and Bri tried it or maybe it was the old hickory king corn. Heirloom variety always.
Great show. We use an old AH Patch Blackhawk corn sheller we scrounged up at an auction. Leaves a bare cob in just a few seconds and easy to make treats for chickens.

very interesting and informative as always! great video.. thanks!

Amanda Yarborough hey did you dehydrate the raw corn or did you cook it first? And at what temperature did you dehydrate it and how many hours?
Damn you Jamie! Now I gotta order one of those mills! LOL. So glad you're making videos again. I've missed them. I'd like to see some videos of y'all preparing for winter. Best wishes to you, Jeremy and the girls.
We’ve been making videos lol! We did slow down a bit, mostly due to demonetization. Update on that coming out soon
I've never milled my own stuff , but am getting ready to and learning as I go ... love the bloopers...thanks for sharing as always stay safe God Bless you both and your family

Use the cobs and make corn cob jelly, it is delicious.
Here is the link: nchfp.uga.edu/how/can_07/corncob_jelly.html
That's a pretty nifty little grinder you have there! Would love to see more things you can do with it! I have really been enjoying your videos on all sorts of homesteading subjects. Thank you for sharing this great info!
Kudos !! Well done as always. Corn cob source of demonetization; flipping the bird on RUclips..... Love it :))
- Stop throwing corn at me.
- "Corn you."
Nu Duo that was so funny😆😆
You are are very good teacher Jamie! Have you ever done a video on grinding red wheat berries or oats? They are both a mystery to me!
I can't do wheat due to gluten but we did some rolled oats in our last video on making GF Flour if you want to check it out
Oh geez, just saw the flour one! Yeah!
Thanks for sharing. Love the bloopers at the end of the video!!
I see you store liquid corn as well, good call.
Thank you for showing how to crack and grind corn.
Pretty cool.
I bought one of those grinders long ago when i bought a bunch of grains for long term storage. It has got in the way since but im glad i have it for hard times

Only a small patch of sweet corn. We haven’t had the space to grow much
Really nice mill.
I don't have the homestead yet but I do want one of those.
LOLOLOL Great video! But, the bloopers are the best! ;)
Agreed!
Thanks for sharin' today. Your chickens will appreciate that cracked corn. :) Bloopers rofl, I'm dead.
Yes you should find yourself some good corn and make some yummy hominy. Good corn is hard to find though. Then dry it and make hominy grits. Super yum!
Looks like a nice mill. You got your arm workout today!

Great recipe Jaime! I hate grids but love corn meal to cook with. I know, I'm weird! Lol!
They would just be a grind between grit and flour. Super simple ;0)
Great information! Very informative video- Thanks I love watching the end of your videos....they always crack me up.
Next Video: MOONSHINE.
We know that's not all goin to them chickens.
This is cool to see, since l was curious of how corn turns to flour.
Great video Jamie!!! I can't believe your hair is long enough to put in a ponytail!! It's growing fast! Looks great!
Well not much of one but it’s getting there
Interesting! I wasn't aware of aflatoxin in corn.
Could you do a video of how to avoid the aflatoxin when drying the corn?
Thanks for sharing!
I don’t have any first hand experience with it, but my understanding is it needs lots of air circulation. Eric over at Life in Farmland is doing some experiments on corn drying. Definitely check his channel out

Thanks for the tip! Haven’t had corn nuts in a looong time. They might be fun to make 😉
I second the white hickory king. Best corn to grind. And it old fashioned too.
Very wholesome lady in this video. Even at the end 🌽. Lol
You’ve got a great personality for this
I like the bloopers...lol
Good job
Love the corn finger at the end... made me laugh. Keep up the great work! Hugs from Eastern Canada
Lol, those bloopers and flip off at the end! Great video as usual. Hey tell your husband to make some more videos with tools and loud trucks and more noisy bangy things with fire and shit. :D
Noted!
oh Jamie! popcorn grits with cheese and jalapenos, and a couple fried eggs on top... that would have to be soooo tasty!
Yaaassssss!
Tomato-tomhato again, chaffe and chaff, shucks and shelled corn.....LOL! Another good video!
Wait until I get to creek and crick 😂
OH YEAH! On the map where I live they print Creek-but almost everyone here (who ain't from the City) will tell you what crick they live near! We don't know anything about corn here in Iowa either... LOL! Keep up the good work!
Haha! Best ending ever! lol
Grow or buy blue corn and use that if you want to stay away from GMO corn (which is pretty much all that is left these days)
the ending alone, got a sub from me LOL
many "birds" in the video. 🤣
looks good to me !! great job guys
Your so funny with the blooper clips!
Nice video. Thanks for telling us all about it.
Great pantry. I want mine to look like your someday.
Aflatoxin may be toxic but just as a psa I live in Kansas in a small farming community and there is a fungus here known as corn smut which grows little or sometimes big polyps on the leaves ears and tassels of the corn but it is not toxic it is actually edible once cooked just so you know :)
Good to know!
Your if videos are superb, to the point, not too long and great info!
On that note, I am just happy to be German and corn is way down on my food list 😉 but my potatoes are more and more the sweet potato kind, go figure....
you flipping him the cob, got to love that. great video. thanks. why so many paper towels up high? I am trying to break us of paper towels.
Most of that is toilet paper. I have one pack of paper towels for greasy things I don’t want in the wash. I think I used 2 rolls in the last year 😉
Were you find the grinder
An excellent tutorial.
Thanks.
Love the ending .l..
My Nija on Puree makes perfect grits out of regular popcorn! I'm loving it!
I want a food pantry like your and I want it right now.
Great information as always!!!!
Inspiration as a b-day gift, thanks peeps. Catching up now cause I was bussy celebrating. :D
EXCELLENT VIDEO!!! Thank you!
Do you happen to know about how many cups of grits or corn flour you got from those ears?
Love the corn finger. Something my wife would do to me. Lol
+Greg DeFouw - 😏
As always a great and informative video. By the way, what is Indian corn, you know those cobs with the brightly coloured kernels? I tried to find information about it but couldn't come up with anything.
I think that is just a generic term for colored corn which can be either popcorn or field corn. Maybe someone else can confirm
You succeed with ease at your first try when so many have failed for so long.
is the last one corn meal or corn flour?
Thank you so muhc! Me and my sister are going to get corn crackin' xoxo
Is the last one corn meal or corn flour
very specific. love it
How do you clean your grinder? love your channel
It disassembles and the stones can be rinsed and scrubbed. The stones must be allowed to dry completely before using.
Grow purple corn it’s twice as high in antioxidants as blueberries
Matthew Niedbala I actually just harvested ours (grew it as sort of an experiment) and we were wondering the best uses for it. Any suggestions? Thanks!
Blue corn chips
Guildfarm cracked corn and I don’t care. Just kidding was looking to see how grits are made thanks for the vid
I love watching your videos. I learn every time. You come prepared for so many questions. Then there is a crazy woman like me that has more.
Question is this. The bags of corn sold for seed and feed at the coop, that appears clean. Would this be contaminated with aflatoxin?
It very well could be. There should be a tag or stamp on the bag if it was tested
According to the website in Canada, all feed grown here or import are inspected but will not say what is considered acceptable. So glad you brought this to my attention.
You can also make grits from grinding rice!
Aflatoxin is colorless, odorless, and tasteless, and it's not the only mold toxin that can appear in food. Moreover, moldy color only indicates that it's gone to spore; mold can already be growing and you would have no good way to tell.
If you're worried about contaminated corn, a visual check is NOT sufficient.
As a matter of preparedness interest; what would be a sufficient test of edibility?
Growing Spuds & Beans right now & I’m looking to try growing wheat & corn to make flour so any information is being consumed like crazy.
that i what one thing that i would like to get. what is one that you would recomend?
+Dustin Dean - There are links to it in the video description.
thank you
i will have to keep my eye out for that.
There is another type corn....flint corn....it is not dented..it is not popcorn...Fedco Seeds sells a flint corn called Red Floridian...not spelling that last part right.. I have grown it and ground it....great for polenta. Or cornbread.
Loved the video thank you.
I have always heard of popcorn referred to as "flint corn"...
Guildbrook Farm | Simple Sustainable Living...... it is different...which I am sure you will find when you look..unless you wish not to look of course.
Not a very authoritative site, but it does say popcorn is a type of flint corn: www2.kenyon.edu/projects/farmschool/food/corntyp.htm
Its Floriani not Florida. Red Floriani flint corn.
Ineluctable Smith... yes thank you for that..I knew it was not spelled right..I am not at my home in WY ( to look at the seed package) where I successfully grew it...but in support of the military in Okinawa.
Wondering why the grinder lip, on the bottom side feeding into the bowl, doesn't have even a slight funnelling shape? Not exactly a "V" but a suggestion of a "V" so that everything falls more directionally into a bowl?
Good info. Thanks for sharing. Camera work is good, too. Appreciate your help. Jesus bless.
Thanks for watching!
good video, thank you! Jamie I have seen folks use two pieces of corn to take the kernals off. Using a 5 gallon bucket, you just put a cob in each hand and rub them against each other til they're clean. And every time you say, "corn grits" I get tickled. :-) Now, do you consider corn flour and corn meal to be equal? I've always thought the flour from corn to be the finest grind, and meal was just a little more coarse. Fun and interesting items here!!
No I would say that is a grind between grits and flour.
Pasta strainers work great for getting the trash out of the corn if you clean a bunch of ears at once.
way to think outside the box!!
I would highly recommend you to look at Deep South Homestead and they have Danny corn that I would recommend for you to get some and try that he has a lot of videos that you can back up and look into and find the results from other people from his corn take care God bless
We love Danny...great channel!
Thats a heavy duty grinder. I like it.
Do you find that the last bit of grain in the auger won't come out without adding more grain or taking the mill apart to clean. I've only used mine once but when I ran the grain through the second and third time the last, larger, bit of grain was the first out even though I tried hard to get it to run through the mill.
No haven't really had that issue. Maybe a few leftover rice when I did GF flour but not enough to comment on. It may be the type of grain you are grinding.
When I got the grinder all I had to try it out on was some dried beans. I'll be trying Corn and Hard Red Wheat this weekend.
Grinder not available. :( I am so bummed. Alternatives are very pricey or not usable, apparently.
Got a cast iron Victoria for less than $50 on amazon.
So I been wanting to make homemade grits so can you just grind the corn for grits and you don't have to homenize the corn
