Product Description :
About Mortar and Pestle: Mortar and pestle are implements used since ancient times to prepare ingredients or substances by crushing and grinding them into a fine paste or powder in the kitchen, medicine and pharmacy.
They’re great for cracking spices and peppercorns, grinding aromatic roots, crushing tender herbs for pesto and pastes and even for crushing medications for pets and humans alike.
If you’re using an electric spice grinder or food processor, you may be missing out on the finer and more subtle flavors that emerge in the hand-grinding process.
WHY A MORTAR AND PESTLE? Crushing the fibers of herbs, as opposed to chopping through them, releases the full range of essential oils, flavors and aromatics they contain – it’s what gives chili and curry pastes that distinctive breadth and depth of flavor that you won’t find if you’re prepping ingredients with a food processor.
This is particularly noticeable when working with highly fibrous spices, aromatics and roots – such as lemon grass, galangal, garlic, ginger and kaffir lime peel.
