Choose a Healthy Grinder/Mill for Pepper & Spices to Avoid Microplastics and Harmful Chemicals

Like most ground spices, pepper experiences significant plastic contact during processing and packaging. Use whole spices and grind your own.

Microplastics can be produced by plastic mill bodies and by plastic components in the actual grinding mechanism. The wooden mill at lower left has a ceramic grinder. The other wooden mill has a metal grinder (not shown).
