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...

      Potential celiac need advice

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It seems like you have two choices--do a proper gluten challenge and get re-tested, or just go gluten-free because you already know that it is gluten that is causing your symptoms. In order to screen someone for celiac disease they need to be eating gluten daily, a lot of it--they usually recommend at least 2 slices of wheat bread daily for 6-8 weeks before a blood screening, and at least 2 weeks before an endoscopy (a colonoscopy is no used to diagnose celiac disease). Normally the blood panel is your first step, and if you have ANY positive results there for celiac disease the next step would be to take biopsies of your villi via an endoscopy given by a gastroenterologist.  More info on the blood tests and the gluten challenge beforehand is below: The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate. Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:   Not to discourage you from a formal diagnosis, but once you are diagnosed it may lead to higher life and medical insurance rates (things will be changing quickly in the USA with the ACA starting in 2026), as well as the need to disclose it on job applications. While I do think it's best to know for sure--especially because all of your first degree relatives should also get screened for it--I also want to disclose some negative possibilities around a formal diagnosis that you may want to also consider.

      Yes.  Now, if you hit your finger with a hammer once, wouldn't you do your best not to do it again?  You have identified a direct connection between gluten and pain.  Gluten is your hammer.  Now you have to decide if you need a medical diagnosis.  Some countries have aid benefits tgat you can get if you have the diagnosis, but you must continue eating a gluten-normal diet while pursuing the diagnosis. Otherwise the only reason to continue eating gluten is social. There are over 200 symptoms that could be a result of celiac disease.. Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity  both cause multiple vitamin and mineral deficiency.  Dealing with that should help your recovery, even while eating gluten.  Phosphatidyl Choline supplements can help your gut if digesting fats is a problem,  Consider that any medications you take could be causing some of the symptoms, aside from gluten.

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.
