The Danesco Spice and Seed Grinder is a small kitchen tool made of a round glass jar that tapers from a wide base to a narrower opening, and joins up with a plastic top, also rounded, with a pinched midriff.
This top houses a ceramic grinder that is tough enough not only for crushing and grinding salt, peppercorns, cinnamon, cumin, oregano, as well as other herbs and other spices, but also small hard seeds such as cardamom and flax seeds. Indeed, Danesco is so confident of the toughness and durability of the grinding mechanism that they are actually offering a 25-year guarantee on the ceramic parts.
The ceramic Crush-Grind mechanism of the Danesco Spice and Seed Grinder first crushes the seeds to extract the oil then grinds them to a fine consistency, thus ensuring that the nutrients are preserved.
The freshly ground spices and seeds are guaranteed not only to enhance the flavor of your food, but to provide you with healthy nutrients as well. This is especially true with flax seeds that contain healthy fat and fibers, which both play key roles in any weight-loss or maintenance program.
This easy to clean spice and seed grinder measures five inches tall with a diameter of 2.13 inches.
