I tried to "borrow" either mi esposo's nut grinder, or his coffee grinder, but he wouldn't LET me contaminate his sacred utensilry...



see, he LOOKED at the greenery, and pronounced it too DAMP to properly grind (too fresh, too resiny, plus we've got a high ambient humidity in the tropics)

so, he said it would simply muck things up thoroughly.

he suggested nuking or baking it to dry it out a bit, so that it would grind but I feared loss of medicinal properties, and hence, opted to manicure by hand.

and yeah, the stems and seeds are the same, the world around, LOL !!
