I haven't tried it with nuts or grains. I mostly used it to grind up cinnamon so far. But it should grind nuts.

I even didn't try it with peanuts, almonds or any other nuts only grains. But I am very disappointed! Very bad quality! I wouldn't recommend for any food purpose.

It did a wonderful job on both almonds and peanuts. Coarsely ground and would be ideal for baking.

I have ground soaked rice and lentils in it and it came out good in about 3 30-60secs grinding time. As long as you follow the instructions, I think it should work fine. Hope this helps.

I haven't tried to grind chicken, but it works very well for grinding nuts. I love this blender.

I use mine to grind almonds and get almond milk as well as grind peanuts to make peanut butter. I should think it could grind rice too.

yes it will grind nuts, be sure to have the plastic lid on since it will grind it as fine as you wish.

I haven't used mine yet, but I bought it to grind wheat, corn, and heavier grains. I would throw sesame seeds and poppy seeds into my Vitamix to grind them I think. I grind peanuts in my food processor to make peanut butter...I make hummus and grind everything in my food processor, but usually buy my tahini (sesame seeds--sim sim) already ground. I would think unless you were grinding up a huge amount of sesame seeds I'd stick to one of those for grinding. I think they'd gum up the works of the corn grinder unless you stopped before they turned to paste. For tiny amounts of poppy seeds I'd use a coffee grinder (new one, not old fashioned).

Wow you know I have never heard of anyone wanting to grind nuts with a meat grinder, I would think you may try a couple of peace's of wax paper and a rolling pin. As for ease of cleaning, Yes it is. Try a Ninja machine.

I have used the Texan York Nut cracker on pecans and it worked real well cracking the nuts. I have not done many almonds yet I know the blades are quite sharp and would do almonds very well. you will not go wrong with this cracker. It will work good for you.

I bought it to make peanut butter which I was not successful at doing. When I tried to make it I ended up with very small granules of peanuts. I would suggest that you buy a coffee bean grinder.

Have not used it to grind grain, sorry. But it has done well with all I have used it for.

I bought this unit from Amazon 2 years ago and my wife and I love it. That being said, I seriously doubt that it will do a good job of grinding nuts (or coffee for that matter) into a fine powder. We do get good results with chopping, however, but haven't actually tried it with nuts. I believe that another reviewer warned NOT to chop ice with it.

The Cuisinart Stainless Steel Spice And Nut Grinder is advertised as capable of doing nut grinding. Does this work better or worse? The Cuisinart device looks like it is not heavy duty. But I'm guessing it will create nut butters.

No doubt in my mind that it would grind nuts and seeds. The only difficulty that would arise is cleaning if you go from seeds back to coffee.

I haven't made almond meal/flour myself but I believe it would based on it crushes ice in less than 5 seconds and it's a fine grind.
