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!

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....

Probably, although I haven't had occasion to use it for nuts. Have mostly used it for parsley, onions, carrots, other veggies.

It is capable of making almond butter with the separate attachment, so I don't see why not. I can't say enough good about this juicer. High quality, good price.

I have only used it for making almond and walnut nut milk. I am sorry I could not be of more help.

it would but at such small quantities it would not be practical this grinder is for herbs and spices. there are better larger grinders out there for grinding grains

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!

It will not grind anything with moisture, so nuts are not a possibility. It will ruin the grinder

It does not do a very good job of grinding large, hard spices such as nutmeg. You would need to break up the nut somewhat to get a fine grind of nutmeg. Nothing works as well as a microplane for nutmeg.

I've not tried to grind grain with mine, but it is very powerful, so I imagine it could. I regularly make smoothies with lots of frozen fruit and it pulverizes them in no time at all.

I do not know. There is a special container and blade to grind nuts. Go to the Vitamix website for the most accurate information. After investing in this item you do not want to jeopardize your investment through inappropriate use .

Yes, you be able to use it to grind seeds. The blades are close enough together to be used for that.

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 have ground almonds to make a pastry crust. It didn't come out super fine but was adequate for my purpose. I think I'd depend on how fine you need it.

If you broke them up into smaller pieces it might. I don't think it will grind them as fine as you'd want. It's not going to be powder.

I really wouldn't know, I only use it for my weed lol. It grinds marijuana super fine but I'm not sure how well it would work on nuts.
