I bought this dry blade container for the main reason that I have to grind up dog food kibble for my 1 dog as she can only tolerate ground up food or she will vomit. This container works very well for this and #1 dog is doing great. And yes I will use this container for dry grains and normal use for what it's meant for when I need to.  I also use the wet blade container for daily smoothies and its fantastic.
