Is it dent corn? I have a grain mill machine that says that I can only grind dent (field) corn.

Yes it is. I use it to make masa. Your mill instructions probably mean, don't put fresh sweet corn in it. Also maybe not popcorn, though some mills can grind that.

I have a Wonder Mill and it grinds this corn just fine. Here's what Wikipedia says:"Most of the corn grown in the United States today is Yellow Dent or a closely related variety derived from it.[2] Dent corn is the variety used in food manufacturing as the base ingredient for cornmeal flour (used in the baking of cornbread), corn chips, tortillas and taco shells."

i think technically, no, it is not. this is a bit larger than dent corn i believe. if i were you i would contact the company directly. i make masa with mine and i grind it in my food processor after it soaks in its lime/water bath.

I did not see the term "dent" on the outside of the package; however, it is whole field corn and I grind it with my Kitchenaid grinder mill attachment and it works just fine. I am happy with the quality of this product. I hope this helps. :)

Yes it is dent corn. I also have a wheat grinder and I grind it in mine to make corn flour.

It is dried corn kernels ... like you would plant in your fields ..... I have taken a picture and will try to find a place to post it here on the item ... I buy it and vac seal 2 cups to a bag and use to make tortillas ... marvelous ...

Yes, it is dry yellow field corn, otherwise known as dent corn. See the Wikipedia article on Dent corn for more info. I grind it with the grain mill accessory for a Kitchen Aid mixer, and use it to make corn bread. The flavor of freshly ground corn meal is very good, but it can't be stored very long at all before it starts to deteriorate. (The unground corn can be stored forever).

Yes, I would think so. I have never tried other grains or seeds, but I grind wheat into a very fine flour, and rice is a similar grain. I have trouble telling the difference between flour ground on the coarse setting and flour ground on the fine setting. This mill will not make grits!

Diane? The label says it, (whole corn) not creamed. I haven't found an organic creamed corn. I wish I could.

Hi, have been out of pocket for a few weeks, so just now getting to your question. The flour has a great taste and is great for baking. Not sure 'how large a grain parts' you're asking about? It is not a 'rough or coarse' grind with tons of hulls or unground seed-parts in it, but is obviously not as fine as the sterile white bleached stuff you get in stores. We buy it because it IS whole grain, which means you get the nutrition stored in the seed coat. Hope this is helpful. (p.s. we would purchase from them again)

I know it will grind popcorn, because I have done it. If the sweet corn is dried, I suspect it will. I got popcorn, because I could get organic popcorn, which is not GMO. The ground popcorn makes delicious corn bread. If the sweet corn is not dried, I would not try it.

Well I tried to turn it as far as it would go toward coarse to take a picture of what coarse is and as I was doing so I noticed that it would spin in that direction but the grain was stuck on fine. Hard to explain the way it looked but it is essentially broken and stuck on fine grit. I just bought this within the past few months. I liked it up until yesterday when it stopped working. I suggest getting another mill. As an FYI before the mill broke the coarse this mill offered was not at the level of "cracked pepper" but was pretty close and I doubt you would have gotten a noticeable difference using the courses grain in a cracked pepper recipe.

i have ground pop corn with this machine a number of times with no problems. i don't know the moisture content of pop corn but i believe it's low.

when i grind pepper corns, i strive for "cracked pepper", but i always get a bit of "fine ground" even though i check the results after each pulse. that's to be expected with a blade type processor. i'm happy with the resulting "mix".

I purchased this attachment for that purpose, and I DON'T RECOMMEND IT! We are a family of Celic Disease sufferers, so in order to cut costs on grains/flours, I buy many items in bulk and grind them. This thing will NOT work for that. Nor will it work for nuts. The grain/nut paste gets caught in the grinder and cannot push it through the faceplate quickly enough. It ends up pushing the plastic ring casing off its mount and can even snap it. I worried it was also going to burn out the motor. It's really just a disaster.If you are interested in grinding those items, I REALLY recommend investing in a good burr grinder. I have had the best luck with them in grinding grain.

I once tried to use my Corona Corn Mill to grind wheat fine enough to bake a small loaf. It did NOT work. I even tried to re-grind the resultant flour which was too coarse. I ran it through the mill at least three times. It still was not fine enough. I do NOT believe that it would work any better for rice. Sorry, Richard

As long as its dry sure it will...the key is the corn must be thoroughly dry. If it's not you will have a difficult time grinding the corn...the mill will constantly get clogged. I typically run my corn through twice...once at a course setting and then again at a fine setting so that we can make corn bread...seems to work better if you do this.

I only grind corn for our thirty chickens,so i'm sure what you need. But it can grind corn very very fine if you want.But the finer you grind corn ,the harder it is to crank.We like it for what we need it to do.

No. It is a hot air machine. After corn is popped,we put melted butter over it.Afyer taking it out of the machine.

Have not used it to grind grain, sorry. But it has done well with all I have used it for.

I've never tried corn. I just use it for whole grains, but it has many settings for the consistency of the flour you want. I was told that you can use it for everything except flax seed BC that is very oily. Hope that helps some!

It would grind much finer for sure, but since I do not eat wheat (we eat Gluten Free) I do not know for sure. I could go test it to see if it would make rice into granules (which I believe it would), to make cream of rice, only it started smoking yesterday, and shaving off plastic from some part inside and spitting the plastic shavings into the already ground flour. So now I am afraid to turn it on, and will be purchasing a new mill, but a different brand, for reasons already stated.

No. You could grind up corn for tortillas but that's about it. I use mine to grind grains for home brewing, so all I need it for is to knock the hulls off and break the grains up a little. For this purpose it works great.
