would this grate nuts and almond?

The KitchenAid shredder/slicer attachments do work well for grating nuts, though there is no way to control the size of the grate except to switch the attachment with another. For my purposes, nuts and almonds were easily and well grated.

I have honestly not tried to grate nuts yet, but I don't see why it would not do fine. It has 4 very sturdy cones for slicing and grating, and they are dishwasher-proof. I usually just chop nuts in a little chopper. If you grate cheese though, this is the best grater ever. I have vats of nice fluffy cheese now ready at all times.

This is a fine sieve so almond flour probably wouldn't work well, but fine sugars and flours that are milled fine without their bran or other inclusions would pass well through it.

It should work on hickory nuts. I us mine for macadema nuts and they are very hard. This nut cracker is heavy duty. :)

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.

Hi Paula.. honestly have not tried.. but cannot imagine that it will be difficult.. The machine is based on stones running against each other and we routinely grind rice. Rice is quite hard and hopefully almonds can be ok too... But.. no clue if the apparatus is a good option for the almond butter process overall.. Hope this is useful.. take care.. Rajesh

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

I have loads of hickories but you would have to place the nuts clear back at the point of impact. In essence, the nuts may be too small for this cracker.

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.

The blades are made for things like vegetables and cheese. My guess is it might work, but I think grating nuts might dull the blades.

I really wouldn't know, I only use it for my weed lol. It grinds marijuana super fine but I'm not sure how well it would work on nuts.

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 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.

I do not believe it is fine enough for ground nuts. However, when time permits, I anticipate trying almond milk myself and will keep you in mind.

I don't see why not. I haven't used it for nuts, but it has a fairly powerful motor and should handle them well.

haven't tried this with nuts, but tried it with cloves of garlic and it worked well.

Yes, we have turned chicken, steak, etc...into a liquid for our baby. I have never tried nuts but I am sure it would work.

I even didn't try it with peanuts, almonds or any other nuts only grains. But I am very disappointed! Very bad quality! I wouldn't recommend for any food purpose.
