And it\u2019s all thanks to an impulse purchase at an awesome new homesteading supply shop in our Los Angeles neighborhood,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/kingsroost.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">The King\u2019s Roost<\/a>. My credit card discharged from my pocket like ectoplasm at a 19th century seance when I spotted the KoMo\u00a0FlicFloc.<\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0FlicFloc\u00a0manually flakes oats, wheat, rye, barley, millet, spelt, rice, sesame, flax seed, poppy and spices. The breakfast possibility it opened to me? Fresh muesli is thy name. Finally a filling and healthy alternative to my Grape Nuts addiction.<\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0FlicFloc\u00a0is elegant and simple. There\u2019s not much to say about it. You put grain in the top, turn the handle and deliciousness discharges into a glass, thoughtfully provided. I\u2019ve owned a KoMo grain mill for a year now and it\u2019s been a life changer in the kitchen. I really like having access to freshly milled whole grains when I need them. It eliminates waste as ground grains spoil. And whole grain, including oats, get bitter if they sit around too long.<\/p>\n<p><strong>UPDATE:<\/strong> On his blog, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rootsimple.com\/2015\/01\/flicfloc-flak\/\">Root Simple<\/a>, Erik compared the results of oats processed by a FlicFloc to oats processed by a cheap grain cracker:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/files\/2015\/01\/flicflocflack.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/files\/2015\/01\/flicflocflack.jpg\" alt=\"flicflocflack\" width=\"475\" height=\"287\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-23191\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/files\/2015\/01\/flicflocflack.jpg 475w, https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/files\/2015\/01\/flicflocflack-300x181.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;On the left are some oats run through the cracker versus oats, on the right, run through the FlicFloc.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He also says, &#8220;I\u2019ve never regretted paying more for a tool that will last a lifetime. I have regretted, many times, buying cheap tools. The FlicFloc broke my Grape Nuts addiction.
