Author:liming   Post Date:2009-6-25

A herb grinder (also called a "spice grinder", or just a "grinder") is a cylindrical contraption with two halves (top and bottom) that separate and have sharp teeth or pegs aligned in such a way that when both halves are turned, material placed inside is effectively shredded.

Some grinders also have two or three compartments instead of just one, with a fine screen separating the bottom compartment from the top. This allows fine particles such as pollen to pass through, but blocks larger plant material.

Grinders called "four-stages" are also popular. "Four-stages" are similar to regular grinders, but include a second fine screen to further separate "pollen" or other tiny plant matter.

There are also 5 stages grinders by many manufacturers now for making snuff, and most are using an anodized process to coat the raw material they are made from.

Herb grinders are manufactured with the intent as culinary kitchen tools often used to prepare spices and cooking herbs for culinary preparation. It is also used to prepare tobacco, and other traditional herbs.

The most prevalent use of these multi-part grinders is for making Tobacco Snuff.

It is very easy to make your own snuff. All you need to do is grind your tobacco in a grinder until you have a fine powder. If you are only trying out snuff, you could break open an ordinary cigarette and grind the tobacco from that, although you should remember that this may be full of chemicals. It is preferred to use a natural tobacco for grinding. Snuff is growing in popularity because it can be used in places where smoking is forbidden such as an airplane or restaurant.
