hints
- For optimum performance when processing spices, we recommend that you do not process more than 50g at a time in the mill.
- Whole spices retain their flavour for a much longer time than ground spices so it is best to grind a small quantity fresh at a time to retain the flavour.
- To release the maximum flavour and essential oils whole spices are best roasted before milling.
- Herbs are best chopped when clean and dry.
