A grinder for walnuts

wasty

Please recommend a stainless grinder that will grind walnuts into fine pieces or flour.

I eat walnuts because they are good for the heart, but I have split 3 teeth in the last year and consequently I am now reluctant to break them up with my teeth and want to grind them up using a grinder.  I am eating walnut flour at the moment but that does not appear to consist of 100% walnuts!

I don't know of a specific grinder, but I expect that any ordinary food blender will blend walnuts into fine flour.

Grind in any food processor and then sieve to ensure there are no hard chunks left.

Thanks people, looking at the reviews on Amazon, irrespective of price, all of the electric coffee grinders have reviews saying that they don’t last very long, consequently I am tempted to go for a hand grinder, although they have the odd bad review too!

Couod you use a spice mill or a peppermill to grind them (you might need to chop them into smaller pieces first) - what volume are you looking to consume each day?

I just use my normal blender for all nuts. Almonds, walnuts, pistachios everything

About 50g a day, not sure of the volume but probably about 150ml.

I use my KitchenAid and I put the glass jug on when I am doing nuts but any blender will do walnuts as they are so soft.

My Bosch electric coffee grinder is over 30 years old and still going strong.  Mind you, I've heard that modern equivalents may not be built to the same standards.

Yes, I seen a number of reviewers say that about their old machines, not necessarily Bosch, and they go on to say that the modern one’s don’t last very long.
