can it be used to grind almonds

Sandra yes it can. I use for grinding mixed nuts that I keep in the firdge and add a tablespoon to my breakfast shake each morning. It is one of the best units I have found so far. Blades are very sharpe and the white blade unit pulls up and out for cleaning. It is not quite as fine as a hand grinder but I love it and use each week. M

I haven't tried nuts yet - but it says you can in the instruction booklet. It also says to toast them first for best flavor and process up to one cup at a time....if that's of any help to you!

Yes. It will work much better than putting whole almonds through a blender or food processor. Just make sure you get the BLANCHED almond meal flour.

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 have not tried it, but I would think the way it is built that you should be able to accomplish that. This grinder has several grind settings and does a great job. I am very pleased with it since I purchased it.

I wouldn't try it due to the oil content in the almonds. The machine could plug and it is very hard to clean out. Might try using a hand mill that can be easily cleaned. If it clumps or balls up in the hand mill it will probably plug the electric one. IF the almonds are very dry and I mean very dry then maybe, but I won't try it in my mill.

It did a wonderful job on both almonds and peanuts. Coarsely ground and would be ideal for baking.

I've only used the grinder to grind black sesame seeds and peanuts. It works very well with small, hard, and dry seeds or nuts for sure. I probably would not use it to "chop" fresh wet plants like plants....

I personally have not used it for spices. But you can vary the grind size to our choice so I don't see why not

I don't see why not-it is a very durable grinder that should handle any plant material

I only have used this grinder on almonds. It is very easy to clean if you do it immediately. Hot, soapy water does the trick. The outer surface is not as shiny as when new, but a metal polish may fix that. Be careful that the glass jar does not become unattached during use. Just carry by the bottom. Enjoy!

I have made peanut butter in it but have not tried almonds. Works great for peanut butter! Hope this helps!

Yes i have used it for grinding sesame, nutmeg, cinnamon, red whole chillies, coriander seeds, cashews etc. Grinds all of them to fine powder. Though I have never ground walnuts, I believe that the grinder will be able grind walnuts too.

I don't see why not. I haven't used it for nuts, but it has a fairly powerful motor and should handle them well.

Oh yes, it can grind nuts, pulse them if you don't want them finely ground.

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 own this unit and use it for a variety of things, including nuts. I've used it for almonds, however I don't feel it grinds as fine as the end result of a store-bought almond flour. To ensure freshness I use a spice grinder for my flax seeds; the amount I choose to grind is too little for such a big machine. That being noted, I believe the Braun would do a fine job pulverizing a large amount of flax seeds. I hope this helps!
