Rice grain to rice flour conversion using grain mill

I am getting a grain mill and now need to order the rice grains. I have Googled and can not find anything that tells me how many cups or ounces of rice flour I will get from say a pound of rice grain. Does anyone have the answer to this?

I got curious and went looking. I FINALLY found this: Open Original Shared Link

I don't know how accurate it is but it says one cup of grain equals about a cup and a quarter of flour. Somehow that doesn't seem right to me. A cup of grain has a lot of spaces between the grains whereas a cup of flour doesn't. I'd think you'd get much LESS flour, not more. But what do I know? :lol:

Aw Barty, you are so sweet! You must have done a lot of searching to find that! Thank you! I looked & looked & looked and couldn't find anything so then decided to post here. 

I did finally think to post a question on the Amazon thread where I ordered the mill from. I got 3 varying answers but one lady said:

Depending on how fine you grind your rice, 1 cup of grain yields approximately 1.3-1.5 cups of flour

 

And another said:

I can only give you a guess based on years grinding different grains, not rice. This might give you a starting point 1 cup of rice = 1 1/2- 2 cups of flour. The finer you grind, the larger your volume.

For now, I'm figuring 1.5 cups yield per cup of grain. After I get it & use it, I can measure & know for sure.

I think the yield is larger because when ground, the grain is not as dense as when whole. It's all fluffed up with millions of teeny air pockets. I tried Googling the answer to that too & came up empty so I'm guessing at what I just said.

Hmm, I have some information of dubious value to share.  First off, I tried making rice flour with an old Hobart grinder I got off E-Bay a few years back.  It worked fine for pea flour and bean flour but with rice it just came out too gritty.  The rice is harder to grind up for some reason.  I am talking an old grinder maybe 30 years old tho.  I just got a big bag of rice at the grocery store to try it out.  You could try feeding it thru the grinder twice, might help if you have that problem.

I have another newer grinder but haven't tried doing rice in it yet.  I think it's worth trying to make yellow pea flour and maybe lentil flour too.  They have a lot more nutritional value than rice anyway.  The grocery store is a good place to get some and try it.  It's a good idea to keep the top of the grinder hopper sealed up with a plastic bag or something.  That ground flour smell attracts bugs pretty quick.  Of course they can be ground up too for even more protein in your flour.

Thanks GEE EFF. I got the NutriMill Classic Grain Mill. The reviews are great & I know a person who has one. She is not celiac but has ground rice in it for rice flour & her reports are glowing.

I've read good things about those mills in the past.  I got a Country Living Mill, manual crank version.   Seems to work purty good.  I just need to find someone to turn the handle now...  :)

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! Yep, I figured I would need someone to crank it & I'm only getting older so cranking will get harder.

Well I'm generally considered pretty cranky but I guess that's not the same thing...

      Great  post. The skin issue can be intolerable. I have been taking niacinamide for the past month and have improved with respect to the blistering lesions.

      I've found taking Niacin Vitamin B 3 in the form that causes flushing (nicotinic acid) helps immensely to clear my skin.  The flushing is harmless and goes away the longer Niacin is taken.  The flushing (vasodilation in the skin) helps the body get rid of the tTg 3 IgA antibodies that cause the blisters.  TTg 2 IgA antibodies are found in the blood and are measured in diagnostic testing for Celiac.  People with Dermatitis Herpetiformis make tTg 3 as well as tTg 2 antibodies.  Niacin Vitamin B3 in the non flushing form niacinamide also works without the flushing, but takes a bit longer.   I also avoid foods containing high levels of iodine because iodine activates the tTg 3 IgA antibodies to become more active and make more blisters.  I avoid kelp (nori, seaweed) and crustaceans,  eggs, dairy products, and iodized table salt.   Niacinamide and Nicotinic acid are water soluble and harmless.  I'd much rather take Niacin than Dapsone with scary side effects.

      We have a gluten-free household. It's the least stressful option. No one else in my family has Celiac, but they are all extremely supportive. We don't even have Play-doh for this kids.

      @Ronnie d, there is a small percentage of celiacs who have dermatitis herpetiformis but have no small bowel mucosal involvement. Also, we have had some reports on this forum from dermatitis herpetiformis suffers who said Dapsone did not work for them. But for the vast majority it does.
    • Ronnie d
      yes, the above is true. however; if the doctor does the tests and finds your are a candidate then dapsone is the drug that will stop the blisters immediately. dapsone started as a drug for malaria and leprosy....I do not know how it became known for dermatitis herpetiformis. I can tell you that my doctor told me she had several patients that have taken it over 20 years. our dosage was one a day until clear,then we went to every other day for a while, working down to zero a day. I still have an active prescription for dapsone but have not had to take one in several years. in closing, if anyone reads this and has truly been diagnosed for dermatitis herpetiform is, then ask your doctor for dapsone..... for those of you reading this that have never had the blisters and infections from the scratching and oozing fluid...than you can't identify. you can have celiac without dermatitis herpetiform is....but all people with dermatitis herpetaformis have celiac...  a double whammy, so to say.
