Flax Seed Grinding

sugacookie said:

hello everybody 🙂 i just got into flax seeds, and the first grinder
i've bought clogged with only a teaspoon of seeds and stopped working
after 2 seconds. can anyone recommend a grinder that gives good
results with flax, or even one specifically for flax (if there is
such a thing)? i would be very happy if it had a removable blade and
bowl so i could clean it properly 🙂 thanks for your time!

Maybe Balco labs will have some surplus equipment for sale? Or check
with Barry Bonds for other sources of flaxseed oil? <:-) -aem

I grind flax seeds in a coffee grinder. - I've done this for 20 years; no
problem.

Coffee grinder was going to be my suggestion, too - I use mine to grind just
about everything, apart from coffee (I don't like my coffee to taste of
methi seeds, let alone dried habanero chiles...)

To propewrly *grind* flax seed you need a "grain mill".

Have fun choosing...

Perhaps, Sheldon, when I grind my flax seeds in the coffee grinder, it
may not be 'propewrly' ground, but it gets as fine as sawdust. That's
good enough for me.

I agree with the poster who said >

I solved that problem many years ago. I have a coffee grinder for
coffee and a coffee grinder for seeds, etc.
I've had fancy, smancy grinders, but this is the most efficient and
correct size for doing the grinding of seeds, etc.

By the way, flax seeds are best used ground, I've heard, as the
nutrition is not utilized when used whole. I would imagine you could
use it for roughage, of course.

I should add that I use a Vita-Mix (but it is a bit large to do a small
amount of seeds). The Vita-Mix literature states that it does grind
wheat berries for flour. I have done that a number of times with my
wheat berries for flour for bread. I assume it 'grinds.'

Mine's been a wonder! I mean, I love using my Mason Cash pestle and mortar,
but when you are grinding heaps of roasted spices, it can take forever, and
my pepper corns always end up exploding out all over the kitchen floor too

You mean you do your seeds two tablespoons at a time... must take you
half the day to get enough to bake one muffin. Those whirly thingies
do NOT grind, they are mini food processors... they are pretty useless.

Mine can turn an Oz of hard black peppercorns to a silken fine power in ~30
seconds, maybe ~1 minute for whole star anise - hardly useless. Your coffee
grinder must be really [censored] ',;~}~

Yesterday, used my immersion blender to grind flax seeds in a mason jar,
and it worked great.

You didn't grind them, you chopped them... blender blades cannot grind
anything... pureeing is NOT grinding.

No sense of humor is of course indicative of a lack of IQ... which of
course Shaun (what kind a fercoctah name is that, dumb uk [censored] can't
even spell his own name) himself proves with his every post.
