hello, anyone know if this mill can grind amaranth?

Its a stone mill, used for any dried grain. Tapioca is a little to hard to use in it but other than that I havent found a dried grain that I couldnt turn into flour with it. It is LOUD though and you have to put small amounts in at a time with some of the harder grains to get a decent speed. Dont use any moist items, like nuts or undried herbs in it. I really enjoy having it and highly recommend it but some people dont realize how loud a stone mill is so just be aware.

Tyler, thanks for the question. If you want your herbs ground to a 'powder' you are probably better off buying an electric spice/coffee grinder with a very fast spinning blade.

You could try. The grounds really get stuck in there. Mine died after a couple of years, but while it worked, it was a great grinder.

It should do fine grinding grains/seeds that aren't wet or oily. I use mine to grind millet and it works fine.

Yes based on information contained on the WonderMill web site it will grind whole kernel corn without problems. See here: http://willitgrind.com/willitgrind/yellow-field-corn

I do not know if you can grind dehydrated veggies, but the grinder is terrible. It doesn't stay at the desired setting. I would not invest into it. We returned it and got the family grain mill which was great for a hand milling grinder otherwise we have the wondermill more electric. Hope that helps.

I can't speak to other food mills, but this one works really well and has a good price. We've used it to rice potatoes for mashed potatoes and have made tomato sauces with it (this is why I bought it). The occasional seed slips through, but it works! If you're looking for perfectly seedless, you'll still need to let the juices pass through a strainer.

Are you asking about the food mill? If you are, I love it. Works great for making applesauce. Just make sure the apples are really cooked down, makes it easier to grind.

I haven't used this one for grinding spices but I do have a Krups that I use and it works great. I don't see why this one wouldn't work.

No, but i've used it to grind flax seeds and it worked like a charm, if that helps any.

I just tested the strainer. The mesh is very fine and I did not see any Amaranth grains fall through.

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.

It would probably not grind fennel, poppy or sesame seeds. It does a great job on fresh herbs.

Yes. Course grind. If you want to reduce to flour consistency, I would use ceramic with broad pestle

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

I've not tried it in an electric mill but it grinds beautifully in my manual one. Very fine texture.

Hello Thea! I'm sorry I am just now seeing this message. Our grind mechanism is made of high quality stainless steel, in fact the original designer of these mills is in the business of metal so he made sure the very best quality was used. I hope this helps! Maria, Owner Grind Gourmet
