I need something to grind caraway seeds. Will this work for that?

I was able to grind Fennel Seeds with mine as well as coffee bean. I dont see any reason why it wont do the job with Caraway Seeds. Hope my experience with mine help you decide.

I got it to grind cardamom seeds. From other reviews I read before buying this one, this one seem to do the best with such seeds and at a reasonable price.

I have used it a few times and it didn't grind flax seeds as well as I hoped, they are pretty tough and they jump around from the static electricity. Size wise it is appropriate for that abount of flax seeds but it you want a fine grind it won't work that well but its ok for a coarse grind.

I'm not sure, but I don't see why not. It'll grind beans and corn. What you need to avoid is stuff that's wet and/or oily.

I have used the unit to grind flax seeds -- no problem. The longer you grind them, the finer the end product. Grind for a few seconds, then check for consistency; grind a few more seconds to get the product finer.

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

It certainily should but I had to return it because it did nothing but grind when I tried to use it. So returned it and went without!

I have both kinds of mortars and pestles, one out of metal and one made of stone. In the stone one I ground up some caraway seeds. It was quite a job. The roughness of the inside helped, but there was still a lot of elbow grease expended. The metal one is too smooth to give you any kind of help. My husband uses the metal one to crush pills. It works very well for this job. The answer to your question is that the metal one would grind grains and nuts, but not well and only with a tremendous amount of work.

I don't think this would be what you are looking for. Have you tried a coffee grinder? I'm thinking one of those mortar and pestle might be the solution, but a real pain in the butt.

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

Yes, this grinder can be used to crack and grind soybeans. But it is a bit messy to use for that purpose and the hopper is too small. I would recommend the Family Grain Mill or the Country Living Grain Mill for soybeans instead of this one as they can do larger quantities with their bigger hoppers. Both of these grain mills are available through Amazon also. Just do a search through the search bar for "grain mill". This one is great for grinding smaller grains to flour, but soybeans may be a bit more than it can handle...

I use it to grind flax seeds, and it works great, so since they are generally smaller then rice, I would think it would work just fine for brown rice.

I use mine for only nuts. It will grind them to any degree of fineness you prefer, including to paste (almost butter) texture. Works best if you don't fill it too full. It's a dandy little appliance and well worth the price.

Yes, it will work with that grain. I was able to grind rice with it & it did a perfect job. However, just don't use millet, flax, or any other oily grain. The machine is unforgiving & will breakdown. I wish the company would address this issue. It's a good company. They replaced the first machine instantly. Thanks for asking. Nelson Donley, author of LIFE AIN'T KIND.

I have ground Quinia, Millet, Armiroth (sp), Rice, Flax Seed and other small seeds/grains with my mill. Poppy seeds are tiny black spheres so in my opinion they would grind well but likely slowly. As I am thinking that you would not be grinding a huge amount of Poppy seeds this is likely a good mill for the task as it cleans up so easily. The main problem I see is with OILY seeds such as "sunflower" that do tend to gum up the steel burs.

I'm answering an old question, but yes, it can grind seeds. I made tahini with it the other day -- just sesame seeds and olive oil. It worked very well.

Yes. We use it for grinding coffee, cardamom, clove and other crunchy spices. Almonds should be no problem. It has two different grinding cups with different blades for different grinding jobs.
