Guest guest Posted May 19, 1999 Report Share Posted May 19, 1999 Anyone know of a good way to grind your own flax seed? I've tried my food processor (the little bowl even). I've tried my Braun hand held mini food processor thingy. I have a coffee grinder that I bought cheap, just to use for grinding stuff.....now, where did I put that??? Anyway, so far, any and all attempts have failed. The seeds are so tiny that they somehow avoid the blade. What gives? Any experienced flax grinder know what I should do? (PS: I love the taste! Nutty! Tried it for the first time at Nature's a few weeks ago. Wow. Better than I expected. ) Brenda Adams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 7, 1999 Report Share Posted June 7, 1999 Brenda, I have ground wheat and millet and other grains with a coffee grinder, works great, I don't see why it wouldn't work for Flax seed. I like Stephen's idea of using the blender.also, I will have to try it!! :-) Ella Mae > " Stephen & Emmy Winters " <steve-em.winters > >Hi Benda, > Try using your blender and grinding the seed dry.

I think my only hope is the coffee grinder, which I haven't gotten around to testing yet. These seeds I have are so small that the blades just seemed to MISS them. Thanks all.
