will this grind nuts into flour and not nut butter or meal?

I use it for Marijuana. It works great for that. For nuts I would just get a blender. This grinder is made to grind marijuana and collect the "keef" (the thc residue) in a delegate chamber. So I would not buy this if I wanted to grind nuts into flour

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.

I used to grind nuts with a hand-held Cuisinart grinder/chopper, but the results were more powder or paste with a few large chunks. The Hazel Nut Grinder finely chops nuts into a uniform mixture. The chopped nuts still have texture, but there are no large chunks.

No, it is not ground wheat (flour). This is hard red, unmilled wheat. You would need a grain mill if you wanted to turn it into flour.

It will chop finely, but it is definitely a learning curve on how to make it work that way. It's really easy to turn nuts into butter if you are not careful. Lots of shaking it up after a blast or two. For example: I can do it, but my wife can't. Of course that means I now have to chop all the nuts when she bakes, but it's worth the effort! ;)

I use this mainly for gluten free baking, I would say no ...this almond meal/flour should not directly replace regular wheat/white flour, depends on your recipe(s)

although I haven't tried it yet, I did do a lot of reading before I purchased it. It should grind nuts, grains, and dried beans. We purchased it for emergency use. I own an electric wheat grinder.

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 .

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!

Based on my experience, the first three are a definite yes. Nut butter without oil is possible but time-consuming, but better than a food processor. I haven't tried adding oil to the nuts, which seems like it would make it much easier. This isn't the best tool for dough, but it can be done. A food processor or mixer is better.

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.

The Wondermill milling chamber will get blocked up if you use oily nuts like walnuts. When milling nuts like almonds, they should be roasted and dried or they will get stuck.

I have used this to make almond flour, but I have not tried peanuts or peanut butter.

I use it in a gluten-free flour mix that I make up, but I have found some suspicious grains in it that look like barley or wheat. Fortunately, I am not overly sensitive to gluten. This has to be ground for flour so you will need a grinder.

You can. I crushed almonds with this for a recipe. This will make nut butter but you have to put the nuts through the machine again and again to get a better consistency.

I grind seeds and nuts with no problem to make different nut milks. I start with the seeds or nuts without water and it turns it into very fine meal. I then add water and it turns it into milk. My wife just puts the water and nuts in together and it works just as well.

I have blended peanut and almonds with water into a very fine drink. If you don't have enough water the blender will overheat and shut off. I have not been able to make pure nut butter, but can finely chop nuts with my muffin batter or green drinks.
