Cereal flakes are a tasty, nutritious and nutritious ingredient (not only) in Bircher muesli, oat cookies or patties. The hand-operated Futuria M1 cereal flaker is the appliance of choice for anyone who doesn't want to flake small quantities of cereal every day, but several times a week. Its stainless steel crushing mechanism can handle around 70 g of cereal grains per minute. You can crush oats without further pre-treatment. Wheat, rye or spelt grains, like ancient grains, should first be moistened with water in a sieve and then dried again for around five hours. Advantage: The hand crank can be attached to both sides of the wooden housing. This makes the Futuria M1 suitable for both right- and left-handed users. Its squeezing mechanism can be removed and cleaned with the enclosed cleaning brush. For hygienic reasons, it is always advisable to clean the inside of the housing thoroughly if the grain flaker is not in use for a while.

The Futuria M1 comes from Tyrol. The manufacturer Werkstück and its employees have specialized in grain crushers and grinders for many years and are passionate about everything that has to do with whole, crushed or ground grains and baking. The company is part of GW Tirol (Geschützte Werkstätte Integrative Betriebe Tirol) and has been committed to providing market-oriented jobs for people with disabilities since 1980.

Cereal flakes are like flour: freshly flaked cereals taste more intense than store-bought cereal flakes and contain more fiber. Freshly flaked, the grain loses fewer nutrients and its natural, full flavor is better preserved, as its content is not affected by ultra-high temperatures, long transport routes or intermediate storage on the supermarket shelf. At the same time, freshly flaked cereals are easier to digest, as the fatty acids contained in the cereal grain are only released shortly before consumption. And if you are now thinking: "The little bit of muesli I eat for breakfast ... cereal flakes, just like freshly flaked linseed or hemp seeds, form a tasty, healthy basis for homemade vegetarian or vegan burger patties and other meat substitutes. You can use them for baking as well as for warm porridge or overnight oats from the fridge - the perfect snack for the office and on the go.
