You have a variety of choices when it comes to buying a flax seed grinder. Most of the coffee or spice grinders will also grind the hard seeds.
Flax seed is best when ground fresh right before you eat them, so if you are incorporating it into your diet you need a good flax seed grinder. Purchase the whole seeds and keep them stored in the refrigerator and grind just the amount you need.
Coffee Grinders
The best flax seed grinder is one that grinds fast and is easy to clean up. I have found that most of the coffee and spice grinders are hard to clean and they don't grind that well.
The best option that I have found is a small blender system called The Magic Bullet. It consists of a small blender base, two different blades, and many different size small container cups.
It is very easy to use. You put the amount that you want to grind in the small cup, screw on the blade lid and insert it into the blender base. You just push down on the cup until the seeds are ground up. It only takes a few seconds. The cup and blade lid can then be put in the dishwasher.
The best part about using the Magic Bullet Blender is that it can be used for lots of other foods. It makes terrific one serving smoothies. It is much easier and more efficient than using a large blender and it can replace many of your kitchen gadgets such as your blender, grinder and food processor.
I highly recommend the Magic Bullet Blender as a flax seed grinder and as a valuable addition to your kitchen gadgets.
