Why own a GRANA Grain Mill?
- Because commercial flour contains neither the healthy fibre of freshly milled grain, nor the germ of the whole grain which is rich in vitamins.
- Because the essential nutrients of whole-wheat flour begin to decay immediately after milling, any delay from mill to oven represents a loss in food value.
- Because whole grain has virtually unlimited shelf life so supplies are easily managed.
- With your own flour mill you can produce the quantity of flour needed at the required grind setting.
- Because freshly ground flour tastes better due its aromatic components.
- These aromatic components are lost over time with commercial flours.
- Freshly ground flour should be processed or eaten quickly, for only freshly ground flour provides the full flavour and vital nutrients that nature intended.
- Because your own GRANA flour mill makes you independent from the market pressures that dictate commercial miller's pricing and availability
- Because grinding your own flour is cost effective in the long run.
- Because your own flour mill is the foundation for a more food-conscious and a healthier way of life.
- Because grinding your own flour is fun!
Frequently Asked Questions.
Q. How long can I run the GRANA Mill?
A.Grana Mills are designed for domestic use, it can run continuously for an hour. Post that, it may get overheated and turn off automatically.
Operations will resume once the motor cools down. This is because every motor is fitted with a Thermal Cut off to protect the motor from overheating.

Q. How much time does it take to grind?
A.Different grains take different times to grind.
While the finest wheat flour takes 12 mins for 500gms, finest ragi flour takes only 4 mins. You can find grain wise details in the manual.
Q.What makes GRANA flour more nutritious when compared to store bought flour?
A.Our stone mills, like traditional chakkis, crush grains to the finest level possible with visible flakes of bran (skin of grain).
Bran is an important and nutrient rich part of the grain, which gets sieved out in commercial flour. You can expect anywhere from 8-15% bran in the GRANA flour depending on the grain.
