Probably, although I haven't had occasion to use it for nuts. Have mostly used it for parsley, onions, carrots, other veggies.

This chopper is amazing, it can pretty much handle everything. No problem with any nuts, the only thing , if you plan on chopping denser type of vegetables like a carrot, I would cut it in chunks first, other than that, this is an indestructible little machine without an engine. I love mine more than any other gadgets in my kitchen, it's worth every penny.

Yes it can, it's not meant to be able to make peanut butter but with enough pulls you'll get a medium coarse powder.

Yes, very easily. Be careful though, it chops things so quickly that you may have walnut, almond, pecan, peanut butter! Enjoy it.

i only use this for chopping nuts, garlic, onion, peppers, etc. however, if you need to chop food containing oil, simply pour the entire chopped food into a strainer (place a bowl underneath the strainer should you need to use the oil for other purposes...)

I bought this item as a gift for my mother. For her, it chops well, but she has not tried nuts or lemon zest. However, it chops up food finely and is working better than slightly bigger than choppers.

Not possible. It is designed to chop and grate fruits and vegetables, not to mix.

I believe that it can crack a Macadamia nuts. It does a great job on pecans so it should work on Macadamia nuts.

Don't know as I have never tried that. I do chop pecans all the time, even while frozen and they grind superbly. Love my food processor.

The trick is not to fill the container to the top because then it won't rotate. The chopper does a great job, but in small batches. I have chopped both nuts and onions, but I only fill container to about 3/4 full.

Yes, and it worked well. We got it for black walnuts, the toughest. And it cracked them.

Ok, I did get chance to try the chopper to attempt to make some almond butter. It did struggle with the nuts. I pulsed it until it had a chance to break down some of the nuts and then turned it to full "on" button and the unit sort of wobbled to where I had to hold on to it to stabilize it. So, I would say that for this sort of thing, you would definitely need something a bit more powerful. Hope this helps. I actually learned something myself trying this out. :)

I have honestly not tried to grate nuts yet, but I don't see why it would not do fine. It has 4 very sturdy cones for slicing and grating, and they are dishwasher-proof. I usually just chop nuts in a little chopper. If you grate cheese though, this is the best grater ever. I have vats of nice fluffy cheese now ready at all times.

I use it only for chopping vegetables. I would avoid it for nuts as the body is plastic...

I don't really know. I'm guessing this won't work but if you have another recipe you can use the nuts for, in case it doesn't make peanut butter, I'd say go for it. I do bet a good food processor might give you something akin to peanut butter, however.Perhaps there are attachments for this machine that will do that; just don't know.

Yes, but depends on the quantity you want to make. It is a small chopper and good for many small chopping needs.

I assume it's plenty powerful for nut chopping, etc. But, it was given as a gift, so I'm not totally sure. But, all of these processors can easily chop nuts and seeds with no problem. As for the "bpa free", I have no idea. Sorry about that.

We haven't tried it for Macadamia nuts but it works very well with black walnuts.

I have chopped nuts but not ginger or bok choy. It worked great. The blades are REALLY sharp.

I chop pecans, almonds, chocolate morsels. Try pushing several times, no too long, or you end up with nuts powder.
