mill stone rotary quern

this is a short video of a quern stone that i picked up at a yard sale .... it is shaped from solid granite ..
and i would estimate its age at somewhere round the 1840s.. at about that time it was illegal to own one!-- you were expected to buy your flour from the company mill ,,(thirlage ) and company men would break peoples querns to effect the monopoly ... it is hard to find any left in countrys like scotland

just on a green organic note fresh milled grain contains the wheat germ ... whereas factory produced flour the wheat germ , part is removed (the most healthy part ).. because it becomes rancid after 2 or three days ... therefore fresh milled grain is far more healthy
p.s. you woudnt want a mill stone round your neck

Is it possible to use the quern to grind sesame seeds (high in oil content) into tahini which is sesame seed paste. Would it be possible to do so without heating the sesame seeds? Heating the sesame seed will denature the nutrient content and make the oil rancid.

@omedlar ...not to sure mate .it would be possible..it would be cold enough ....but the rifles in this stone would be to coarse

Its pronounced ... "KERN" not "KWERN" - these stones orginated in India and Persia (now Iran). The "perforations" are called "dressings".

That find is worth one and a half ounces of gold, minimum. I'll bet it took a month of a man's life to make it.
