Will this grinder grind flax seed?

Yes we grind flax seed and chia in it for our smoothies. The little metal cup is easy to clean so you can grind coffee one day and flax the next and not get any flavor cross over.

It would like any other blade based grinder, however this one is particularly bad in circulating the content so big chunks stay on the top while the bottom turns to hot dust.My wife uses a standard - KRUPS F203 Electric Spice and Coffee Grinder with Stainless Steel Blades, 3-Ounce, Black and it circulates top to bottom much better/

I have used the unit to grind flax seeds -- no problem. The longer you grind them, the finer the end product. Grind for a few seconds, then check for consistency; grind a few more seconds to get the product finer.

I'd say the oils in the flax seed will probably gum up near the grinder and go rancid. You're probably better off buying a dedicated grinder/blender.

To reeep the benefits for flax the seeds need to be milled/ground. You can use a coffee grinder. They are great in smoothies and sprinkled on salads working the other nutrients for maximum absorption.

Oh, I'm sure it will. Flax seeds are pretty small, so I am sure it will do a good job.

Well, not knowing the requirements for your grinder, I don't know why it wouldn't, assuming it is driven by a pulley and belt, or even with some sort of a coupling if the shafts match. Sorry I can't give a more educated answer.

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

I have never tried it, but if it grinds the pepper which is very hard, I'm sure it will have no problem grinding cilantro seeds

I've only used the grinder to grind black sesame seeds and peanuts. It works very well with small, hard, and dry seeds or nuts for sure. I probably would not use it to "chop" fresh wet plants like plants....

No. You need a coffee grinder for flax seeds. When you grind the seeds, they are moist inside with their oil, so the meal that results is not super dry but kind of moist powder. Therefore, if you put them in a pepper grinder, it would clog up very quickly and the ground flax bits would not drop out. Pepper is super dry. Flax seed is not.

I have ground Quinia, Millet, Armiroth (sp), Rice, Flax Seed and other small seeds/grains with my mill. Poppy seeds are tiny black spheres so in my opinion they would grind well but likely slowly. As I am thinking that you would not be grinding a huge amount of Poppy seeds this is likely a good mill for the task as it cleans up so easily. The main problem I see is with OILY seeds such as "sunflower" that do tend to gum up the steel burs.

I did not grind flax seeds - so I don't know. It is a good chopper which I use mainly for vegetables.

This grinder works WONDERFUL for ALL spices and seeds. I grind one half cup of flax seed at a time and can go from coarsely ground to a flour-like consistency in LESS than a minute!This is the best grinder I have ever had!

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

It will not grind anything with moisture, so nuts are not a possibility. It will ruin the grinder

I (grind) 2 T. of whole flax seed and put it in my oatmeal every morning. I've read that using freshly ground flax seed is better for you.

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.
