will this thing crush flax seeds into ground flax seeds?

For crushing Flax seeds get an electric grinder. Pestals are for crushing and mixing small amounts of spices and medcinals... For bigger jobs like crushing pepper, coffee bean, black pepper, cinnamon sticks, and seeds like Flax, you want an electric grinder. A regular electric coffee grinder works great... Makes great all natural peanut and almond butter as well.

It might be close...but I think it would work. The issue would be if it were ground flax seed.

I have never tried it but I think it would. I have ground up sesame seeds to powder.

The flax seeds that I tried to "crush" were pretty malleable, so it took quite a while, and I ended up mashing them more than crushing them. This mortar and pestle is good, but processing flax seed is not one of it's strong suits.

I think it would split the seeds. I tried using it to grind buckwheat: it ground the seeds but only crumbled the hulls. It did not grind the hulls into to powder. This mill has rows of metal grinding teeth just like a metal file. Seed hulls tend to slide between the teeth instead of being ground.

Yes, this is ground flaxseed. Too many products make claims about fiber from flaxseed, but unless the seed is ground, it provides little benefit, unless you chew each and every flaxseed. Buy with confidence.

I am sorry, I have never tried grinding flaxseed. But I would like to expand on my previous review to add that I have started using pulse on grinding coffee and even with the damp beans it works better.

Maybe if you just put seed or suet, but seed weighs a lot. hope this helps. rpy

No. You need a coffee grinder for flax seeds. When you grind the seeds, they are moist inside with their oil, so the meal that results is not super dry but kind of moist powder. Therefore, if you put them in a pepper grinder, it would clog up very quickly and the ground flax bits would not drop out. Pepper is super dry. Flax seed is not.

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!

Do you grind your own seeds or buy them already ground? If ground "fine" enough this shaker should do the trick. But to be safe I'd look for one with larger holes.

I agree with one other answer here. The juicer is ok but messy with nuts for buttersburt I dont think it will crush seeds for oil if thats what you mean.

To reeep the benefits for flax the seeds need to be milled/ground. You can use a coffee grinder. They are great in smoothies and sprinkled on salads working the other nutrients for maximum absorption.

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.

Absolutely! This machine will pulverize anything! I was attempting to chop almonds and they turned to powder. :). I use mine for juicing veggies, it gets the pulp minuscule. Oh won't regret this purchase. Betty/New Braunfels, Texas

I didn't find it ground anything very well. Definitely not coffee beans. Nuts maybe. I had no luck with flax seeds -- just got gummed up in the works. I'd pass on this product.

I doubt it. They are much larger than flax seeds or chia, and hard as a rock!
