Could you grind almonds for almond flour?

There is not a grinding attachment that I am aware of. This is more of a chopper, and since it's manual, the primary benefit is that it doesn't chop things up too finely. A motorized food processor would probably be more appropriate for producing flour consistency from almonds or other nuts.

No. You cannot grind almonds into almond flour with this Kitchen King. It is basically a chopper. It minces vegetables. I would try a coffee grinder to grind almonds into flour. A new one of course.

No, although it could be used for dredging (coating), but it does have a sweet taste. Coconut flour is much more absorbent than almond flour. The amount of flour used would need to be decreased or the liquids increased, which affects the entire recipe. It's usually easier to use an existing recipe (unless you really like to experiment with recipes).

I have not tried for her recipes. I have tried this almond flour for other recipes and have decided that I will give up baking., I have not found any recipe that I like with either almond or coconut flour or any using both flours. It is not cheap baking with these flours and if I can't enjoy anything baked with it why bothers. I guess my motto has to be "keep it simple".

I also grind nuts into flour and nut butter but I prefer my Blentec blender for this job because of the HP. This does can do this job as well but it will probably burn out it used for long periods of time.

I use mine for only nuts. It will grind them to any degree of fineness you prefer, including to paste (almost butter) texture. Works best if you don't fill it too full. It's a dandy little appliance and well worth the price.

The Almond Flour that I received from Anthony's is blanched and worked well in all of my recipes. The Coconut Flour was good as well.

You'd be safer contacting the company to ask. Anthony's also makes (very lovely might I add) almond flour, and I'm not sure if it's processed in the same facility or with the same equipment as their coconut flour. You would think they wouldn't, being that its organic and I'm sure they are aware of high incidences of nut allergies and all, but to be safe I would call or email them to ask.

Yes , you can. But make sure that the corn (or any other grain) you put for grinding should be very dry. You have to adjust the knob on mill for desired coarseness. I once made very coarse flour out of wheat berries for making sweet pudding.

I wouldn't try it due to the oil content in the almonds. The machine could plug and it is very hard to clean out. Might try using a hand mill that can be easily cleaned. If it clumps or balls up in the hand mill it will probably plug the electric one. IF the almonds are very dry and I mean very dry then maybe, but I won't try it in my mill.

In my experience, yes, you can. The results should be as good or better because this is a very fine flour therefore you shouldn't have any grittiness in the product you are baking. I have noticed a big difference in using this flour as compared to other "cheaper" brown rice flours.

I have ground flax seeds and it RUINED the machine!!!! There is too much oil in the seeds. So NO you cannot grind flax seeds!

It will work great for almonds. Just cut the large end and the nut will slip right out.

I have made peanut butter in it but have not tried almonds. Works great for peanut butter! Hope this helps!

Yes, if you have the equipment to grind flour, likely you could. It's already very fine shreds and is dry, not sticky. But why don't you just order the "Let's do organic coconut flour"?

I haven't ground almonds yet but I have ground oats and Himalayan salt. It ground the oatmeal almost as finely as what I've purchased from the grocery store. The Himalayan salt chunks, ground into an extremely fine powder, almost too fine. Also, it seems like there's not a lot of variation from fine to course. It all seems about the same. One more important thing.... you have to take it apart EVERY TIME YOU USE IT! If you don't take it apart, stuff will be all stuck up inside the grinder and it may get all disgusting. It's not difficult, but it's a hassle.

I have ground almonds to make almond flour for macarons using only small batches

Yes. Course grind. If you want to reduce to flour consistency, I would use ceramic with broad pestle
