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
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
+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. 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.
You answered a number of my questions in this informative easy to understand video...I'll be back for more of your demonstrations.
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
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 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
An excellent tutorial.
Thanks.
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!
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!
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!
Thank you for showing how to crack and grind corn.
very specific. love it
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.
Love the corn finger at the end... made me laugh. Keep up the great work! Hugs from Eastern Canada
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.
Nice video. Thanks for telling us all about it.
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
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!
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.
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?
very interesting and informative as always! great video.. thanks!
My Nija on Puree makes perfect grits out of regular popcorn! I'm loving it!
Great information as always!!!!
Nice mill. Thanks for the how to video. Loved the bloopers at the end.
Thanks for sharing. Love the bloopers at the end of the video!!
looks good to me !! great job guys
Inspiration as a b-day gift, thanks peeps. Catching up now cause I was bussy celebrating. :D
This is cool to see, since l was curious of how corn turns to flour.
You’ve got a great personality for this
- Stop throwing corn at me.
- "Corn you."
Nu Duo that was so funny😆😆
Cool! I learn so much from you guys. Chickens were excited for the fresh ground scratch!
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!!
Great information! Very informative video- Thanks I love watching the end of your videos....they always crack me up.
Very wholesome lady in this video. Even at the end 🌽. Lol
Kudos !! Well done as always. Corn cob source of demonetization; flipping the bird on TH-cam..... Love it :))
Pretty cool.
Thanks for sharin' today. Your chickens will appreciate that cracked corn. :) Bloopers rofl, I'm dead.
I just love this channel!!, Love the bloopers,thanks for the laugh!
+Linda Fox - ❤️
EXCELLENT VIDEO!!! Thank you!
Do you happen to know about how many cups of grits or corn flour you got from those ears?
Really nice mill.
You succeed with ease at your first try when so many have failed for so long.
Looks like a nice mill. You got your arm workout today!
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
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!
Great pantry. I want mine to look like your someday.
Great video, really helpful information. But that storage room - wow! We're envious! (Nice top shelf 😉 too)
;-)
Next Video: MOONSHINE.
We know that's not all goin to them chickens.
Good wholesome video
Great video Thanks
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. 😊
I see you store liquid corn as well, good call.
Good job
Love the ending .l..
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 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.
Haha! Best ending ever! lol
Very nice thanks
Thank You for the very. very fast reply.
Thats a heavy duty grinder. I like it.
Oh geez, just saw the flour one! Yeah!
Thank you so muhc! Me and my sister are going to get corn crackin' xoxo
I don't have the homestead yet but I do want one of those.
You can also make grits from grinding rice!
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.
LOLOLOL Great video! But, the bloopers are the best! ;)
Agreed!
I want a food pantry like your and I want it right now.
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?
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)
I like the bloopers...lol
Your so funny with the blooper clips!
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
the ending alone, got a sub from me LOL
many "birds" in the video. 🤣
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.
What brand hand grinder is that? Looks like it made well.
Were you find the grinder
Thank You for the great video and information. Does that corn flour have the same texture as wheat flour? Again Thank You.
It can have any texture you want. Just change the grind
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! =)
Only a small patch of sweet corn. We haven’t had the space to grow much
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!
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)
Nice
oh Jamie! popcorn grits with cheese and jalapenos, and a couple fried eggs on top... that would have to be soooo tasty!
Yaaassssss!
Where can I get the wonder mill jr deluxe? They are hard to find
u got my sub . Thank you for the information .
Welcome!
Good info. Thanks for sharing. Camera work is good, too. Appreciate your help. Jesus bless.
Thanks for watching!
Use the cobs and make corn cob jelly, it is delicious.
Here is the link: nchfp.uga.edu/how/can_07/corncob_jelly.html
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!
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
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
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
Guildbrook Farm | Simple Sustainable Living I will check out his channel! Thank you!
thank u nice job
What is a good variety of field corn for human consumption?
Guildfarm cracked corn and I don’t care. Just kidding was looking to see how grits are made thanks for the vid
Can you show us how you wash your laundry? Haven’t seen to many videos around that and that’s something I’d like to know more about and if anybody has some advice I’d appreciate it.
5 gal bucket and a new toilet plunger ... it works!!!
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....
I’m interested in the mill. Where can I get one?
is the last one corn meal or corn flour?
Lololol...great video guys 🌸🌸
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!
Great video as always....Where do I get good non GMO field corn seed?
Hoss Tools sells it. I just got some Hickory King from them.
I get mine from Willhite Seed online. Click Vegetable Garden Seeds>Corn>Open Pollinated. I get Reids and Trucker's Favorite.
