herb grinder

[Guest guest]

I bought some bulk herbs. I was supposed to order the Senna Pods powdered

but I order them whole by accident. I put them into my coffee grinder and

it made some powder but it took about 1/2 hour to make 1/8 of a cup. What

does everyone do to powder their herbs??

Rob, to powder herbs, I use a variety of tools. First, I usually put them

in a coffee grinder (that's reserved for herbs only). If that doesn't

produce a fine enough product to suit me, I next use a mortar and pestle,

then usually return them to the herb grinder. If I'm doing a large batch at

a time, I might use the food processor first.

Thanks for the feedback, Lou

I have a coffee grinder that I use for my flax seed in the morning. It

works great for flax seed but I put the senna pods in it and it created a

light fluffy mixture. Eventually it turned some of it into powder but at a

snails pace. Maybe I have a crappy coffee grinder. I also use mine just

for herbs as I don't drink coffee too much.

 

Maybe I need to look into an upgraded coffee grinder.

 

thanks for the info,

Rob
