I only use mine for coffee beans. I am not sure if this would work well on seeds.

I haven't tried grinding seeds other than black pepper. You'd probably have to clean the fibers out a bit more often, but the blades should work fine.

Sorry, haven't tried chia. It was recommended for bigger seeds so they couldn't pass through but it is a fine grade of hemp so it may work. Try emailing the folks at the sprout house.

I don't think this will work for chia or flax seeds. I think they would be too small. I Probably would not put anything smaller than a popcorn kernel.

I never thought about using the flax seed this way since it's so bland alone, however your snack idea sounds yummy. Or yogurt also sounds delicious.....But thanks for the snack tip!!

I have used to grind flax seeds. Although I did put a few kernels of wheat on top of flax seed to help it grind and clean the grinder part out

It will handle a large enough quantity of nuts just fine. It's really not designed to grind smaller amounts. You're better off with a coffee grinder for flax seeds and quantities of nuts and spices up to approx. 2 tablespoons. 1/4 cup may need to be done in 2 batches.

I don't see why it wouldn't! It grinds seeds and stems ,it can grind flax seeds.

I strongly recommend thoroughly grinding the flax seed prior to using in a smoothie. Also, please note that the ground flax seed tends to thicken liquids so additional fluid may be required to achieve your preferred consistency.

No. You need a coffee grinder for flax seeds. When you grind the seeds, they are moist inside with their oil, so the meal that results is not super dry but kind of moist powder. Therefore, if you put them in a pepper grinder, it would clog up very quickly and the ground flax bits would not drop out. Pepper is super dry. Flax seed is not.

Yes, this is ground flaxseed. Too many products make claims about fiber from flaxseed, but unless the seed is ground, it provides little benefit, unless you chew each and every flaxseed. Buy with confidence.

Haven't tried it but I would guess flax seeds are too oily to be ground in this unit.

I would say yes it will grind flax seed. It can make coffee beans in to a very fine grind for slow auto drip. It can make a cup, maybe a little more of ground product.

I am sorry, I have never tried grinding flaxseed. But I would like to expand on my previous review to add that I have started using pulse on grinding coffee and even with the damp beans it works better.

Yes, but it will grind them very finely. I use it to grind both coffee and flax seed, and it does a fabulous job. For things that I want a courser grind, I usually use a small food processor that I have.

I believe the holes are small enough to contain the whole flax seed. It is a fine mesh wire weave, so ground flax seeds will probably not work in this particular tea ball.

I have ground large quanitites of almonds,works well, however not to a super fine flour, but a nice usuable flour. Flax seeds for 1/4 C ..never tried the bowl is large and i dont think such a smallquanity would yeild much sucess due ro size of bowl and quanity of flax seed. Iwould use a basic coffee/ nut grinder, that what I usually use for my flax seed gringding
