Guest guest Posted December 8, 2004 Report Share Posted December 8, 2004 Hi Eibhlin, The only thing I have found to make roots into a fine powder is the Vita-mix, but it is quite espensive. A mortar and pestle should work also, but it is very labor intensive. Before I bought the Vitamix, I ordered the herbs I needed to be powdered as powder. I hope others will have some easier solutions for you. Love, RoniEibhlin <eibhlinyah wrote: I just got my herbs in for the LBF, I ordered C/S.. Can anyone tell me how to powder these roots???

Guest guest Posted December 9, 2004 Report Share Posted December 9, 2004 Can you recommend a good source for buying herbs? I have good health food stores in the area, but they don't carry the more exotic herbs that I need for some recipes. I would appreciate any suggestions you have for resources. herbal remedies , Roni Slye <roni_slye> wrote: > Hi Eibhlin, > The only thing I have found to make roots into a fine powder is the Vita-mix, but it is quite espensive.

Guest guest Posted December 9, 2004 Report Share Posted December 9, 2004 Hi Phyllis, It should be able to make flour from sprouted grain. I haven't actually used it for this myself, but the manual says it can make flour from grain, so sprouted shouldn't be any different I wouldn't think. I have been very impressed with mine since buying it a few months ago. Hope this helps.
