If I grind Wheat Berries, do I create whole grain flour?

I just dusted off my bread maker and want to have fun with some creations. One of my local health food stores sells Wheat berries. If I make flour by grinding them in my blender, will this be the same as if I purchased whole grain flour?

Yes...sort of :)

It's not likely that you will be able to grind the wheat berries fine enough in a blender. A grain mill is specifically built for this purpose: to be able to grind fine enough without heating the grain too much. Overheating grain during milling will damage the resulting flour.

For a small batch, you can try a coffee grinder and a sieve, but if you're really interested, considering investing in a dedicated mill. This company is pretty reputable and has a large selection: http://pleasanthillgrain.com/appliances/grain-mills

Thanks - I fixed your grain mills link:

I've got a pretty good Ninja Blender, so I'll try and make it as fine as I can. I'll post how it works out.

Thanks I fixed the link. Look forward to seeing how the Ninja does!

makes a tasty loaf that tastes sweeter and rises pretty well for whole grain bread. I'm dying for a loaf right now.
