Opt for whole ingredients

Store ingredients in their whole form - Thermomix® can grind them as and when needed. For example, keep granulated sugar in your cupboard then grind it into icing sugar as needed. You can make your own flour mixtures from whole grains, and keep spices fresher for longer by buying them in their whole form. Always grind your own ingredients just before using to retain their freshness and flavour.

5 reasons to make your own ingredients

1. Healthy: real food, without hidden ingredients. The best way to know what's in the food you eat is to cook from scratch. Preserve fruit and vegetables when they are in season and full of flavour and nutrients.
2. For all tastes and diets: adjust the sugar, salt, or other ingredients according to your or your family’s tastes, needs and allergies. You can also make ingredients that are difficult to find or expensive, for example gluten-free ingredients.
3. Easy: controlled temperatures and the many Thermomix® functions – chopping, grinding, blending, kneading, etc. – make it easy to produce your own ingredients.
4. Save money: all you need are a few basic ingredients. Buying in bulk can be a convenient option, and choosing seasonal ingredients gives you plenty of inspiration throughout the year. You have complete control over your ingredients and can make better use of the food you have.
5. Make the most of what you have: reuse jars, bottles and other containers to store your homemade ingredients and keep your kitchen organised.
