Can it grind hard stuff like nuts?

Haven't chopped nuts, but have used the blender to grind almost everything else--including ice.

I use it to grind peanuts into peanut butter all the time. I tried to grind pretzels once for something and it was a MESS; I had pretzel dust all over my kitchen. So it worked good for oily hard things like nuts, but not for drier ingredients like pretzels or I'm guessing wheat berries.

Oh yes, it can grind nuts, pulse them if you don't want them finely ground.

Cinnamon sticks?if you stacked them in tight it might b very well. It is a strong grinder. But, I can't promise. You will love it for many things, I can promise that!

I haven't tried this. I believe a coffee grinder would be best for these things. I have only done frozen bananas, nuts, and carrots which it pulverizes, so I assume that it can.

Yes, it can. Soak your nuts in water for several hours to soften them and then process them through the machine using the mincing function.

I've never tried, but you can adjust the grinding mechanism from fine to coarse so I'm guessing you could.

If you broke them up into smaller pieces it might. I don't think it will grind them as fine as you'd want. It's not going to be powder.

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.

No you can not grind nuts in this machine they have natural oils in them and will mess up the machine

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 .

Probably not. This works best on soft foods. I've used other similar handheld grinders and they're all pretty much the same.

This machine is made specially for walnuts. It is not suitable for harder nuts

I have used it to mostly grind meat but it is very easy to clean and works well. I am sure it would work well with nuts.

We like a fine grind on our coffee and it does a great job of that. We haven't tried any kind of nuts in it but I suppose it would probably work.

In general, no. You need the Wonder Junior to do a good job with nuts and seeds. However, there are a select few things like this it can grind. To answer your specific question, though, it CANNOT grind almond nuts, and it will VOID the warranty if you attempt it. Please contact us for more information on this mill or the Wonder Junior (its hand operated sister unit). We also sell other machines that would do the job very well.

No, it isn't able to grind, really. It can chop things very small, but really not like almond flour. I get mine from Trader Joe's!

No. It's a grinder. It would probably just grind up peanuts into smaller pieces.
