flaxseed grinding
i will be new to this :shy
where can i buy a good grain grinder or coffee grinder to serve this purpose?
^_^:
I use my Magic Bullet, but any food processor ought to work.
^_^:
I just use my Braun coffee grinder. I think I got it at Target.
^_^:
I just use a $10 coffee grinder that I picked up at the grocery store. I want to note that my regular cuisinart food processor did NOT grind flax well at all - I would definitely go with a coffee/spice grinder instead of a food processor.
^_^:
whoa-wait!
you can use a regular food process for flax seeds? I have been buying the oil all this time thinking I didnt have a contraption to grind flax. If this is true I am off to the store later to buy flax seeds.

I'm not sure about the food processor since I use a coffee grinder for grinding flax seeds (one that I don't use for coffee beans), but keep in mind that the oil and the seeds will serve different purposes for you in your diet. From what I have read, the ground flax is mostly good for extra fiber and the oil is a much better resource for the Omega 3s. I use both.
You may know that already but I wanted to point it out just in case!

Vermontgirl, for me the food processor does not work to grind flax. It just kind of spins it around. :/ I need to use a coffee grinder.

where can i buy a good grain grinder or coffee grinder to serve this purpose? Just so you know, do not grind seeds of any kind (sunflower, flax, etc) in a grain (flour making) grinder...the high oil content and heat produced will most definitely clog your grinder....erm....yes, I do know this from early experimentations in grinding....:o
The coffee grinder I'll second (third, fourth). It works great on small seeds and spices. They are so cheap, I have two, one for spices and one for seeds and other more 'bland' oil foods.
