How can I grind sun flower or flax seeds to use in recipes?

How do you ground sunflower seeds or flax seeds if you don't have the containor for the vitamix that does flour and bread? I don't have a coffee grinder either. Any suggestions? I want to make some recipes in my dehydrator that I just got but I saw that a lot of them call for ground seeds and I'm clueless. THANKS AGAIN!

Do you have a mortar and pestle? ~ Cathy

I would get a coffee bean grinder. They're reasonably priced. I use mine to grind flax, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, cacao, chia seeds, cashews, fresh spices. Pretty much anything.

I use a Magic Bullet.

I have the Vitamix 4500 that does not have the "dry" container and I'm still able to grind things in it. Just don't put too much at once - only like 1/4 c. at a time. I used to use a coffee grinder until I ruined it by trying to grind coarse celtic sea salt in it (before I knew that salt would rust it) :rolleyes: - now I exclusively use my Vitamix (regular container) as I have not went out to purchase another coffee grinder.

Magic Bullet, Tribest, or just a mini processor. The only way to go.
