🍃 Black Veined Granite Mortar & Pestle (ready to be seasoned)

🍃 The mortar is a durable bowl commonly made of stone, ceramic, or wood. The pestle is a rounded grinding club often made of the same material as the mortar.

📖 Mortars and pestles have been used for centuries in culinary traditions around the world: in Southeast Asia, India and Pakistan, it’s used to grind spices and make flavorful pastes; along the Mediterranean cost of Italy and France, it’s used to make pesto; in Mexico, a molcajete is used to make guacamole and salsa; and in Japan, a suribachi is used to grind spices and sesame seeds.

Seasoning: Many of the granite models we tested required seasoning before first use, which involves grinding white rice to a powder, and then grinding garlic cloves with a mix of seasoning such as salt, cumin, coriander and pepper. Seasoning helps remove any stone or grit particles from the porous surface so that it doesn’t release any into your food when you first use it. A couple models also required letting the mixture sit overnight prior to washing and before first use. So, if you want to use your mortar and pestle right away, pick one that doesn’t require seasoning
