Grinders

FAQs

What are herb grinders for?

Herb grinders are commonly used for cooking, aromatherapy, smoking, and other applications where finely ground herbs are needed. Grinding the herbs releases their essential oils and flavour compounds, making them more potent and flavourful. It also makes it easier to measure and use the herbs in recipes and other applications.

How do you use a herb grinder?

Grinders simply grind herbs down by means of simply components. With a manual grinder you'll provide the power by twisting the grinder, but battery powered ones can do that work for you. Often, herbs will come in quite large chunks, so you might wish to begin the process by breaking them up by hand before putting them in a grinder. When the herbs are in the grinder, simply start the process and your herbs will be ready in minutes.

What's the best herb grinder?

The answer depends on what kind of herbs you wish to grind, and whether discretion is necessary. Generally speaking, metal grinders with a high quality burr will give the best results and the finest grind. But if you need to grind while you're out and about a lightweight plastic card grinder will do the job while remaining discreet.

What's the difference between manual and electric grinders?

Manual herb grinders are popular because they are simple to use and require no electricity or batteries. They are also relatively inexpensive and come in a variety of sizes and designs, from small pocket-sized grinders to large ones that can handle a lot of herbs at once. Electric herb grinders are another option, which use a motor to grind the herbs quickly and efficiently. They are more expensive than manual grinders, but they are also more convenient and faster to use.
