I'm answering an old question, but yes, it can grind seeds. I made tahini with it the other day -- just sesame seeds and olive oil. It worked very well.

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.

Hi sk, I'm not sure, because I didn't buy them for use with DFP-14BCN; but I went with them because they claimed blades were for 14-cup processer, which is what I have; got them just to have a complete set, but haven't used these three yet. Have used the large s-blade for mixing up pie filling; and the medium shredder for coleslaw and shredded carrots and radishes for our weekend burrito fest.

I haven't tried grinding seeds other than black pepper. You'd probably have to clean the fibers out a bit more often, but the blades should work fine.

I use it with a Professional 14 processor, an older model. I do not know if it would work with a Prep 9. Cuisinart's website might have the information you need.

Have never used it for the seeds you have listed, but know it will grind coffee beans up to an almost dust. Have enjoyed it, when I do decided to grind coffee beans.

Hi Tom, I did not get a chance to mix anything in this food processor. I use it once to make Guacamole and then it stopped working for good. Sorry I could not answer your question.

No, it will not grind flax seeds. PS. I love golden flax seeds. Many people assume that the dark brown flax seeds are the only ones available.

I have used to grind flax seeds. Although I did put a few kernels of wheat on top of flax seed to help it grind and clean the grinder part out

I do not know. There is a special container and blade to grind nuts. Go to the Vitamix website for the most accurate information. After investing in this item you do not want to jeopardize your investment through inappropriate use .

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).

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.

You can use the milling blade for nuts, flax seed, etc... it grinds it so that it will blend better in smoothies / shakes. I use mine quite often. I also use it to grind coffee beans.

I have the Cuisinart Prep 7 - 7 cup Food Processor. You might be able to use this French fry disc [DLC836TX-1 6x6mm] on your 9 cup. The reason I say this is the 4mm Standard Slicing Disc DLC-844TX-1 is compatible with both models, my 7 cup and the 9 cup. You can verify this on the Cuisinart website: www.cuisinart.com or call their Product Inquiry number at 1-800-726-0190 7a-11p EST M-F 9a-530p EST S & S. I hope I've been helpful. Do let me know how you like it if you use it to make sweet potato fries. Kimberley, Chicago, IL

Nuts and seeds are not advised due to the high amount of oils in them, plus specifically stated grinding such material voids the warranty. A better machine would be a food processor, that way you could make almond milk and or recipes requiring ground nuts. We use our mill a great deal ,have already had issues with the grinder teeth rubbing together and becoming damaged. After being notified the manufacturer immediately sent out a replacement free of charge, with free return shipping for the damaged unit. Wonderful customer service, and so far no issues with the replacement unit.

I have a Professional 1100 Ninja and am looking for a food processor attachment to it. After submitting this question I discovered that it is not an attachment but a separate prep. I'm sorry about that.
