Will the grain mill grind sweet corn?

As long as its dry sure it will...the key is the corn must be thoroughly dry. If it's not you will have a difficult time grinding the corn...the mill will constantly get clogged. I typically run my corn through twice...once at a course setting and then again at a fine setting so that we can make corn bread...seems to work better if you do this.

I know it will grind popcorn, because I have done it. If the sweet corn is dried, I suspect it will. I got popcorn, because I could get organic popcorn, which is not GMO. The ground popcorn makes delicious corn bread. If the sweet corn is not dried, I would not try it.

I have a Wonder Mill and it grinds this corn just fine. Here's what Wikipedia says:"Most of the corn grown in the United States today is Yellow Dent or a closely related variety derived from it.[2] Dent corn is the variety used in food manufacturing as the base ingredient for cornmeal flour (used in the baking of cornbread), corn chips, tortillas and taco shells."

I only grind corn for our thirty chickens,so i'm sure what you need. But it can grind corn very very fine if you want.But the finer you grind corn ,the harder it is to crank.We like it for what we need it to do.

I haven't tried soy beans, but it will grind corn. They sell an auger separately that will accommodate larger items you might want to grind.

Yes I've used mine for several years and grind almost solely sprouted wheat. Never had an issue.

Yes it will. If you're interested in finding out specifically what the mill will and will not grind, please reference the web site: http://willitgrind.com

I haven't tried that, but I kind of doubt it. There are three holes for material to dispense onto the impeller. There's a short steel rod that spins around to agitate the material, located about 1/2" over the plane of the holes. The holes themselves are about 7/8" dia. Unless the corn consists of very small kernels, I suspect that it would jam. OTOH, if that's all you want to use it for, I think you could enlarge the holes easily to about 1" and still have it work with the existing shutter. The shutter has molded holes in it about 1" dia that can't be enlarged without weakening it to the point of assured failure. I haven't tried that, but I kind of doubt it.

Yes, I would think so. I have never tried other grains or seeds, but I grind wheat into a very fine flour, and rice is a similar grain. I have trouble telling the difference between flour ground on the coarse setting and flour ground on the fine setting. This mill will not make grits!

Yes indeed, this will crack the hull of the grains. The grind can be adjusted. Although maybe not to powder or fine enough for coffee - depends how fine / course you need...

Yes! And it's really nice the flour that comes out, pretty similar to the Bob's red mill one.You can prepare a beautiful corn bread!

I would think so, though I can't see a definte "YES!". But I have heard of all kinds of spices and herbs and things being grind with this mill...!

I do not know as I do not eat corn, so would never try it. I prefer flours from smaller sized grains, & use the Fine setting. I have not ever tried the Coarse setting yet, to make cereals--like cracked grain cereal, as opposed to flours.

I have ground hard Indiana popcorn for corn bread.... it grinds that pretty well, but is a lot of work hand cranking! I use the drill attachment and that helps a lot!

Hi,You should be able to grind almonds with the blade that comes with the basic machine. You'll need to put the 'blank' in, where the fine screen usually goes, so as to push out the ground almonds. Do you want almond flour? Otherwise, you may have to chop the almonds fine enough to use the grain mill, but I have not done this with mine.

It will grind coarse if you don't grind too long.. Not sure why the other reviewer said no. It even says so in the instructions.

We have only ground dry grains and it does great job. Doubt it will grind wet corn as it will clump and clog the grinder blade.

Never have done dried sprouted grain in this grinder but judging from performance on various size grains, have no doubt it will work fine.
