Stone mill

A stone mill is a traditional grinding device that uses large, heavy stones to crush and grind grains like wheat, corn, or rice into flour or meal. The stones rotate against each other or against a fixed stone surface, breaking down the grains gently and efficiently. This method preserves more nutrients and flavors compared to modern metal mills. Stone mills are valued for their ability to produce high-quality, artisanal flour and are often used in specialty baking and organic food production. They operate manually or with motorized assistance, combining historical craftsmanship with modern convenience.
