Guest guest Posted May 18, 2010 Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 Hi, everyone: Just wondering if there is a way to grind corn in the Vitamix machine? If so, where would I get the corn? I'm enjoying grinding all sorts of wheat berries. I love this machine more and more as I continue to learn new things about it. Thanks!

Guest guest Posted May 18, 2010 Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 I imagine there's not much difference between the way you'd grind wheat and corn and it's probably better to use the dry container. You can probably use popcorn and if you decide to start playing with other varieties, you'd have more success with dent corns than flint because they're ultra-hard. Try a " dried corn " search; something will certainly turn up. Grinding cornmeal  Hi, everyone: Just wondering if there is a way to grind corn in the Vitamix machine?

Get the best dried corn you can afford. It will sound like the worst hail storm ever, but the result is very fine powder, if you like cornmeal that way. I like mine powdery and love cornbread.

Guest guest Posted May 19, 2010 Report Share Posted May 19, 2010 Thanks, everyone, for the information. I'm going to be making a trip to Whole Foods. I'll check on the corn there. Yes, I use my dry container for grinding grains. Cheers! > > I would never use my wet container to grind grains, but it can be done. The wet container will grind the grains at a higher temperature (it is designed to suck liquids down towards the blade at the bottom of the container). It will also get all scratched up by the grains - something I would not like. > > The dry container has a blade that is designed to throw things up towards the top of the container - it kind of works like a fan and the heavier pieces keep falling down and getting blasted by the blades while the finer pieces get blown upwards until it is all ground up. This helps keep the flour from getting damaged by the heat of processing. > > Blessings, > Lea Ann Savage > Satellite Beach, FL > 321-773-7088 (home) > 321-961-9219 (cell) > www.VitamixLady.com > www..com > 13:35 > <)))>< > Re: Grinding cornmeal > > > > > I imagine there's not much difference between the way you'd grind wheat and corn and it's probably better to use the dry container. < > > You *must* use the dry jar.
