"for portability. Gristmills have produced flour for baking for thousands of years. In more recent times flour has been sold with other ingredients mixed in, as have other products ready to cook. Packaged mixes are convenience foods which typically require some preparation and cooking either in the oven or on the stove top. Packaged baked goods mixes typically use chemical leaveners (commonly referred to as baking powder), for a quick, reliable result, avoiding the requirement for time-consuming skilled labor and the climate control needed for traditional yeast breads. These packaged mixes produce a type of quickbread. Examples include cake mixes,"

It can also mean grain that has been ground at a gristmill. Its etymology derives from the verb ""grind."" Grist can be ground into meal or flour, depending on how coarsely it is ground. Maize made into grist is called grits when it is coarse, and corn meal when it is finely ground. Wheat, oats, barley, and buckwheat are also ground and sifted into flour and farina.

"the mill"" means ""everything can be made useful, or be a source of profit."" There are some minor variations, such as ""all's grist that comes to his mill"", meaning that the person in question can make something positive out of anything that comes along. A miller ground whatever grain was brought to him, and charged a portion of the final product for the service. Therefore, all grain arriving at the mill represented income, regardless of its quality. The first recorded usage was in the sixteenth century, but the term is probably much older. The term ""gristmill"" was once common in"

Stone-milled flour has been found to be relatively high in thiamin, compared to roller-milled flour, especially when milled from hard wheat. Gristmills only grind ""clean"" grains from which stalks and chaff have previously been removed, but historically some mills also housed equipment for threshing, sorting, and cleaning prior to grinding. Modern mills are usually ""merchant mills"" that are either privately owned and accept money or trade for milling grains or are owned by corporations that buy unmilled"

"it is a familiar visual landmark in Peotone and Will County. The windmill at Peotone provided a variety of grain products. Fine wheat, rye and buckwheat flours, as well as cornmeal were common products the grist mill offered. The local livestock industry depended upon the mill as its primary source for feed. Thus, the mill's busiest time of year was during the autumn when livestock farmers would stock up for the winter with the mill's freshly ground grain products. The mill's surplus product was stored in a building that was once attached to west side of the windmill. Income for"

"gristmill was situated in what is now the park. The furnace remained in operation as did a forge. The furnace was very similar to others constructed in New England during the time period. The natural resources were found locally. Iron ore was mined from swamps and bogs. Charcoal was produced from the many trees in the local forests. Limestone and gabbro were used as flux. Hot air powered by large waterwheels was blasted into the fires of the furnace. The iron ore was converted into molten iron that was used to produce horseshoes and later metal parts for the many"
"needs to be cooled. The grist travels up to the attic in the grist elevator, where it falls into a machine called the auger, which cools and fluffs the grist. From the auger, the grist falls into the bolter. The bolter is a large sifting machine located on the second floor. The bolter separates the flour from the bran so that pure stone-ground whole wheat flour is the final product. Both products drop down to the main floor where they are separated into two different bags. The flour is then bagged into smaller portions which can be purchased at the"
"States. Cornmeal is produced by grinding dry raw corn grains. A coarser meal (compare flour) made from corn is grits. Grits are produced by soaking raw corn grains in hot water containing calcium hydroxide (an alkaline salt), which loosens the grain hulls (bran) and increases the nutritional value of the product (by increasing available niacin and available amino acids). These are separated by washing and flotation in water, and the now softened slightly swelled grains are called hominy. Hominy, ""posole"" in Spanish, also is ground into ""masa harina"" for tamales and tortillas. This ancient Native American technology has been named"
"Pugmill A pugmill or pug mill is a machine in which clay or other materials are mixed into a plastic state or a similar machine for the trituration of ore. Industrial applications are found in pottery, bricks, cement and some parts of the concrete and asphalt mixing processes. A pugmill may be a fast continuous mixer. A continuous pugmill can achieve a thoroughly mixed, homogeneous mixture in a few seconds, and the right machines can be matched to the right application by taking into account the factors of agitation, drive assembly, inlet, discharge, cost and maintenance. Mixing materials at optimum"
"Old Morrison Mill The Old Morrison Mill is a historic gristmill in Burnt Prairie, Illinois. The mill was originally constructed in 1859 in Enfield and was moved to Burnt Prairie in the late nineteenth century, replacing another mill built in 1820. The mill served as the farming community's local grain processing facility, converting wheat to flour and corn to meal. While the mill was originally horse-powered, a wood-fueled boiler was installed in 1897; the boiler's power source later changed to coal, a diesel engine, and ultimately electricity. Parkin and Martin owned the mill after its relocation to Burnt Prairie until"

"Grinder-mixer To process livestock feed from grain, farmers often use a type of agricultural machine called a grinder-mixer. A grinder-mixer is a portable mill that combines the mixing and grinding operations. Grinding of ingredients generally improves feed digestibility, acceptability, mixing properties and pelletability. Grain is typically pulverized in a grinder-mixer either by hammer mills or roller mills. Hammermills are impact grinders with swinging or stationary steel bars forcing ingredients against a circular screen or solid serrated section designated as a striking plate. Material is held in the grinding chamber until it is reduced to the size of the openings in"

"Burr mill A burr mill, or burr grinder, is a mill used to grind hard, small food products between two revolving abrasive surfaces separated by a distance usually set by the user. When the two surfaces are set far apart, the resulting ground material is coarser, and when the two surfaces are set closer together, the resulting ground material is finer and smaller. Often, the device includes a revolving screw that pushes the food through. It may be powered electrically or manually. Burr mills do not heat the ground product by friction as much as do blade grinders (""choppers""), and"

As an old item and symbol for industry, the millstone also has found its place as a charge in heraldry. Millstone Millstones or mill stones are stones used in gristmills, for grinding wheat or other grains. Millstones come in pairs. The base or ""bedstone"" is stationary. Above the bedstone is the turning ""runner stone"" which actually does the grinding. The runner stone spins above the stationary bedstone creating the ""scissoring"" or grinding action of the stones. A runner stone is generally slightly concave,"
