Grinding flax seeds in food processor / vitamix?

[yoru]

so i was trying to grind flax seeds in my food processor and it didn't work. it's really late at night so i didn't want to continue trying because i'm in an apartment. does anyone know if this is possible? or should i use a coffee grinder?

ive ground them in several different cheap blenders easily

I use an herb/coffee grinder! Super easy!

I think it works best if the amount matches more closely the container size. We use a bullet but larger amounts for crackers have worked okay in the processor. That and pulsing seems to work better by letting most of the seeds fall back onto the blades. In a large container with small amount of seeds the majority just fly around like so many leaves in a wind storm, and thus it takes longer.

thank you! i just got a coffee grinder from target yesterday and it worked excellently
