Question: stone grinder in granite or marble is better?
Document: Bowl is solid, inner surface grabs seeds well. Variations in stone-- the pestle was dropped, and broke along a natural fault.
It has a nice weight to it and it's very nice quality. It has just enough texture to help blend  but not get everything stuck to it and in the cracks of the stone. Totally worth the money.
I chose a darker color due to research. There are some beautiful pale marble mortar and pestles available out there, but uppon reading about them, you must avoid putting acidic or heavily pigmented foods in them. The marble is suceptible to any acidic foods, and readily takes on colors of other objects (ie-spices).
Just received this today, beautiful granite, well made. I've already used it and it is perfect, just what I was looking for.
This is great! I love the granite. It's easy to use and clean.I grow fresh herbs and spices and use this frequently.
has a nice polish on the handle and outside of the mortar. But notice that the working parts of the mortar & pestle are not polished. as a consequence when you grind you get bits of granite in the mix.
Nice heavy granite with a one cup capacity. Polished on the outside and left rough on the interior to facilitate grinding. I am very pleased with this product, it's exactly as I was hoping for.
I love this mortar and pestle. It is heavy and solid and just the right size. I google how to &#34;season&#34; it before I used it and didn't have any issues with granite dust. Highly recommend!
I was excited about getting a granite mortar and pestle. I was disappointed when it arrived and the edge was chipped in two places. It works fine, but it is such a nice looking mortar it is sad that the edge was chipped.
I have used this multiple times now and love it! A very well made nice quality granite mortar and pestle. The heavy granite makes it easy to crush and grind spices, or dried chilies. It does need some sort of slider or vinyl tab thingy on the bottom though so it does not rough up your counter.
Answer: Hello Vaishanvee,Stone grinders are generally used for crushing/grinding corn, nuts, and other large items. Stone grinders usually have large pores which trap fragile oils and juices; however, these large pores give the stone the rough surface needed to crush large items without getting smoothed over.Granite grinders are used for strong herbs and small spices. Granite has the special ability to be either rough or smooth depending on the finish. "Fresco Granite Mortar and Pestle, Black, Small" has a Rough End granite grinder, with a smooth end for comfort. The rough end is great for crushing mint, sage, and other herbs without absorbing most of the oils.Marble is almost the same as granite, but can be even less absorbent and smooth. This is ideal for maximizing the oils collected from plants and herbs. Beware most marble Pestle Mortars don't take well to large spices and nuts.I hope this helps, sorry I could not answer your question directly as it matters on "the intent of use" rule. I would suggest Granite Pestle Mortar for diverse use. I am in no way a professional, so please feel free to disregard what I say:)
