Is it good for extracting the many seeds in raspberries?

Probably not. The colander holes are large enough for raspberry seeds to go through. It works for grapes which have a larger seed.

It depends on what you mean by 'extracting seeds'. Using this with raspberries, you'll get two different substances: pure raspberry juice, and a mush made up of mostly-flavorless raspberry pulp and seeds. The juice won't contain any seeds, but it'll be pretty close to impossible to separate the seeds from the pulp.

I've only used it on blackberries. As I recall, all that came out of the tube was juice. The pulp in the basket contained the seeds. I really like how easy this steam juicer is to work with. Easy to clean, easy to fill and no real work involved, other than picking the fruit and making the goodies, jam, wine, etc. Good luck!

I believe so...I used it for plants I bought (vegetables) in 6 packs...but I believe I have used it for chilies etc. If it did not burn the tender roots on 6 packs, I would think it would be okay for seeds.

I use the screen for drying herbs which shrink down to nothing so I would think it would work for your sprouted berries.

It depends on the size of the seeds. Using the finest size sieve I don't think it will remove all berry seeds. You would have to put it through a hand held fine sieve after using the food mill.

As someone said, this juicer handles seeds without problem. So, if you're wondering whether you can juice fruit without removing seeds, you definitely can (watermelon, apples, oranges, lemons, etc). But, if you want to get the essence of the seed (like grape seed oil), this juicer can't do it. In fact, the instruction manual says you can make nut butters (peanut, almond, etc), I tried and all I made was a huge mess, and I wasted a lot of money in nuts.

It should work for blackberries. The juice is collected in the second chamber and the pulp of the fruit and the seeds shouldStill be up in the top chamber. You could always line the top chamber with cheesecloth if it looks like the seeds will get into the juice. I love my steam juicer. I've made two batches of sole juice and with the pulp made apple butter. Delicious!

You can. However, the Vitamix may be a bit large for the amount of seed you would want to grind at one time. If you were to put the whole bag in the Vitamix at one time, it may be okay. I like to use a "seed/spice/coffee grinder for my small seeds. So much easier to contain and less to clean up. (more like wipe-with-a-damp-cloth-and-you're-done sort of clean up.

Use the smallest screen and it works better than anything I've ever seen at removing blackberry seeds. I've made 30+ quarts of blackberry jam and over a dozen blackberry pies with mine.

I use it as a herbal extract for the cancer fighting ellagic acid that it contains. I fell it would be excellent and healthy for baking, also.

absolutely! We purchased this strainer to puree raspberries into sauce and it works wonderfully.

I don't know. I never tried it. My guess is that it might give some juice, but the majority of the fruit will be left with the seeds.

It's only supposed to put through a fine product based on what you put through the disc. For example if you put cooked apples through it, it catches the skin and seeds and heavy pulp in the top and pushes through an applesauce type result. I've never put raspberries through although they are very delicate and maybe a strainer would have worked better? It probably separated the seeds and skin but because they are so small ad filled with liquid, it's not the best fruit choice for a mill? Hope this helps.

I am not quite sure what you mean when you say a whole lot of seeds. It can take nuts, raisins and items like that. It seems pretty powerful. I have not made any seeded bread but it sure does a wonderful job on regular and gluten free bread.

No. Most of all seeds are to oily and clogs up the mechanism. Better to use a coffee grinder for seeds

I would say yes-its a nice fine mesh and although I haven't done raspberries in it I think it would fine. I use it constantly to strain all kinds of things and it is a nice convenient size to have hanging near the stove for quick jobs.

Yes, but I found it worth it when starting seeds. I can start them inside earlier.

I did use mine for salsa but since the seeds were not an issue, I can't say they kept out all or even most of the seeds. Sorry.....
