We are about to go on a no grain regimen. we want to make our own flour fromalmond flour/golden flax. and chick peas. Will this attachment be suitable

I don't know about the chick peas, but the almond and flaxseed I'm sure have too much oil for the grain mill to work properly.I use flaxseed in my wheat bread as the oil and I grind that with a flat blade coffee grinder.

Yes - I use it to grind all sorts of things to make Ezekiel bread - chick peas, lentils, quinoa, millot, etc. Works great!

It can make coarse almond flour, but it's not going to be fine like the stuff you would buy. I have used it for that and the coarse flour works fine for me.

This product is in its whole grain form. You would need a grain mill to process it in to flour for making breads.

I've never tried corn. I just use it for whole grains, but it has many settings for the consistency of the flour you want. I was told that you can use it for everything except flax seed BC that is very oily. Hope that helps some!

I would not try it as it is for grains and will not work on chunks or pieces. It would probably ruin the micronizing blades. Use a food processor for that or a blender. That should make better flour.

Yes. In fact don't limit yourself to bread with this flour. It is great with baking cakes and things, (my opinion). The recipes on the bag are great. Follow them the first time and make adjustments after. Also, I would suggest buying the 25# bag and placing it in a 5 gallon bucket with a lid. I keep mine in the kitchen and it is incredibly convenient. I never run out and it is cheaper in the long run. Good luck to you!

I'd give it a try, but in order to get an "all-purpose" flour you'd have to sift it, which kind of defeats the purpose of the labor intensive project... Also, remember to adjust the amount of liquids in your recipes when using sprouted flours.Keep on mind that Kamut is coarser than regular wheat, so it might not get as fine as a typical all-purpose flour.

I have no idea. The grains are smaller then salt so it will probably mess the machine up.

I made a chocolate cupcake recipe that came out very well. They state on their website that this flour really thickens up when adding liquid, and to add extra moisture when using it. I'd go to their web site and read more about baking with this product- it is helpful. As long as you are not trying for something too delicate, this flour works very well. And yes, I used 3/4 flax flour to 1/4 rice flour. That helps lighten things up a little.

No, it makes it very fine like flour. If you just want to crack grains I suggest trying a food processor on "pulse".

I've never tried grinding nuts and seeds for flour, because frankly I never considered using nuts or seeds for flour! The high oil content from nuts would seem to preclude doing so, but you could try it. However, there's no way to clean this unit's grinding mechanism, so chances are some of what you grind will be left inside the housing. My guess is that whatever is left will become rancid over time and likely affect whatever else you grind in the future. If I really had a desire to do that, I'd stick with something like a powerful food processor that I could clean well. But according to another poster, the answer is yes, so have at it!

It would grind much finer for sure, but since I do not eat wheat (we eat Gluten Free) I do not know for sure. I could go test it to see if it would make rice into granules (which I believe it would), to make cream of rice, only it started smoking yesterday, and shaving off plastic from some part inside and spitting the plastic shavings into the already ground flour. So now I am afraid to turn it on, and will be purchasing a new mill, but a different brand, for reasons already stated.

Grinding or roasting flax breaks this seed coat making all the nutrients easy to digest. So you can do ether one but I prefer them ground because I add them to cereal and my most of my recipes.

I don't know about reviews but I love this flour. I get the organic whole wheat. I use it to make dog treats, bread, bread sticks, pizza crust , veggie burger buns and other stuff. It could be used to make cupcakes and cookies. It's just flour and really nice flour. Thanks

I forgot to mention that I do use 3 tablespoons of flax meal per cup of this flour which seems to eliminate the need for xanthan gum while also adding to the nutrition of your baked goods.

I, also, do not know about flax eggs. My loaf is not quite as tall as my regular bread. Still a good size for sandwiches. Best gluten free loaf I have found.

Yes, I would think so. I have never tried other grains or seeds, but I grind wheat into a very fine flour, and rice is a similar grain. I have trouble telling the difference between flour ground on the coarse setting and flour ground on the fine setting. This mill will not make grits!
