Product Description
Amazon.com Review
More health-conscious cooks are discovering the nutritional benefits of flax seeds. Rich in omega-3 fats, flax seeds are known to promote better cardiovascular health and to give the immune system a boost. In addition, flax seeds have huge concentrations of lignin, a phytonutrient that many health experts believe has anti-cancer properties.
Because flax seeds are so hard, it is necessary to grind them for easier digestion. This grinder from Oxo stores whole seeds in its lower glass bottle and then tips over to grind them right from its built-in mechanism. The grinding mechanism is made out of a durable ceramic that won’t rust, corrode or affect the flavor of the seeds. The grind can be adjusted to five different positions from coarse to fine. A soft grip around the grinder cushions the hand while grinding and marks within the lid let you measure out the proper amount of flax seeds from 1/8 to 1/2 teaspoon. When the bottle needs refilling, a button on the grinder’s side easily releases the entire top. --Cristina Vaamonde

Only good for seasoning, not for reasonable quantity,
By A Customer
This review is from: OXO Grind-It 1056265 Organic Flax Seed Grinder (Kitchen)
I bought this grinder so that I can get fresh flax seed meal every time I need it instead of buying prepackaged flax seed meal from health food store. I was very disappointed that it works like an ordinary seasoning grinder. It is fine if you want to only sprinkle a little on top of your food. But, if you plan to get 1 to 2 oz of flax seed meal a day as recommended, forget it, because you will have to be very very patient and work hard too -- just keep grinding and grinding for at least 15-20 minutes. I think this device is stupid. Why charge so much? I can get a spice grinder for a few bucks. It is not designed for handling a reasonable amount of flax seed. When I set it to coarse, flax seed comes out almost intact. When I set it to fine, only bits come out and broken flax seeds are attached to the surface of the teeth of the grinder.

Not worth it,

I bought the flaxseed grinder, in spite of the negative reviews, but those reviewers were right. It takes aproximately 100 twists of the mill to get 1 teaspoon of ground flaxseed. at two twists per second, it would take five minutes of to get two Tablespoons of ground flaxseed (and a case of carpal tunnel syndrome, as well).

where is the instruction sheet?,

This review is from: OXO Grind-It 1056265 Organic Flax Seed Grinder (Kitchen)
i like this grinder, the cap keeps the seeds fresh and the size is good for the hand but it arrived with no instructions. i realize there isn't much to it but the editorial review says there are five grind positions mine has one-- grind or not grind. i can't see how it would adjust. the button on the side releases the top from base but not snoothly and i wondered if i was breaking it. the top fits tightly and at first i thought the button was the release for the top. i think for [the price] instructions should be with it. i pulled the seal to release the flaxseed but even that plug was so well made i wasn't sure if it was disposable and hay maybe it wasn't and thats why i don't have more than one grind position. i planned to purchase the set for salt and pepper but i think ill wait to see it this one is ok first.
