@jedovaty Thanks for sharing the above information.  I have wheat berries in the freezer at the moment and want to make some pitas in the next few days.  Can you share your grinding technique for making the berries into flour for pitas?  Thanks.

I used to only grind about a cup of berries at a time (150-200g), since I hadn't had a need for more.  You just put the frozen berries in, start on low, rotate to max.  Let it run maybe 45-60 seconds.  If you have the dry container, you may need to let it run a little longer.  You can sift if you like; using the #40 from breadtopia will give you about 80-85% extraction.  My vitamix is a ~9 year old 5200, looks like the new models are a bit different cosemtically, so results may be different?
