wheat flour power

This is a tub of red wheat grains.
Here is a close up shot of the wheat, just in case you couldn't tell what it was.
This thingymajig here grinds the wheat grains into flour.
Three cups of wheat grains, plus one super-powered arm muscles and thirty minutes later, you get wheat flour.
Apparently, grinding your own flour guarantees that the nutrients are still there. Unfortunately, someone forgot to add yeast to the bread dough, so the bread didn't rise during the baking process. I tasted the lump of bread and it was still pretty tasty, just wasn't light and fluffy, but tasted like wheat buns to me. If it wasn't the requirement of muscle power (which I have none), I would probably start grinding my own flour too.
