Will this grind sesame seeds and sunflower seeds to smooth texture?

Greetings,Not sure I would use it on nuts and seeds, they may have too much oils in them and it would be hard to clean the stones. I have only used it to make wet batters and it works great. Hope that helps

Actually, I do use the "Premier Wonder, 1.5L" to make peanut butter. You just have to take it easy on the machine by putting the seeds into a food processor and chopping them for a solid minute. Then, add the powdered seeds to the grinder very slowly. Also, keep the fastening nut kind of loose for awhile until you see that the seeds are smooth and becoming liquid. At that point you can add more powder, slowly. Note that this will only work on oily seeds. If there is not enough fat content in the seeds, it will never be a liquid. Peanuts are 50% fat/oil, so they work well. Sunflower seeds are also roughly 50% fat, sesame seeds are just a little less, so I would expect them both to work.

Yes - I use it exclusively for grinding flax seed. In fact, I find that this unit grinds the flax seeds into a finer powder than the "pre-ground" flax seed that you can buy at the store.

It can grind it to that texture. I don't think it can get as fine as flour though.

This grinder works WONDERFUL for ALL spices and seeds. I grind one half cup of flax seed at a time and can go from coarsely ground to a flour-like consistency in LESS than a minute!This is the best grinder I have ever had!

I have no direct knowledge about whether it will grind flax seeds or not... I only use it to chop veg and it does a wonderful job. But, that being said, I have never tried to pulverize any veg items and am assuming that pulverizing is what you may be looking for. If I had some, I would try for you - but I don't! Update: just ground some of my daughter's croutons (on high, PUREE) and it did pretty well... more or less a coarse grind. So, if you are looking to accomplish that plus chop some veg, it's a dandy little device.

There is not a grinding attachment that I am aware of. This is more of a chopper, and since it's manual, the primary benefit is that it doesn't chop things up too finely. A motorized food processor would probably be more appropriate for producing flour consistency from almonds or other nuts.

Have not used it to grind grain, sorry. But it has done well with all I have used it for.

No, it is not recommended for oily product. Wheat is the only thing I grind with it. If you want to grind nuts or any other oily nut, you need to get a manual grinder with steel burrs. No electric, that I know of, will do nuts.

It will grind up flax seeds and chia seeds for me (in my smoothies) - my guess is that you perhaps needed for liquid to allow the blades to spin at their fastest speed and move the berries/seeds completely through the processor's cycle. Try it with more fluid/liquid and see what happens.

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.

Without a problem. I use it to grind all of my spices, even hard to grind seeds like flax seed and chia seeds. It really handles everything I have put in it- including peppercorns!

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

If by seeds in the mix, you mean it has a bit of a texture, it's very very slight and should smooth out by rubbing between your fingers.

No. It will only grind the grain. There are no rolling mechanisms to do that. I disagree with Patrick. This is just a grinding mill. It will grind the oat groats but you would probably end up with mush when you cooked the oatmeal.

Probably not. This works best on soft foods. I've used other similar handheld grinders and they're all pretty much the same.

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!

No, it won't grind seeds to a powder. I have never seen a hand grinder that would. Usually seeds just crack or break into pieces. For powdering seeds I would try a food processor or coffee grinder. Hope this helps.
