Would this work well for the course pink Himalayan salt? I know some grinders can't handle it.

I put some pink Himalayan salt in that has chunks about the size of a pea and it seems to do well with medium to course grind, but doesn't manage the fine.

Yes, this grinder should be able to handle the course pink Himalayan salt. I use mine for sea salt and Alaea Red Hawaiian Salt.

Yes it does, I have only used pink himalayan salt in it since February 2014.

Hello, I used this grinder for coffee beans, Green Cardamom, and other stuff, it works fine, i am happy with this product, i went through 2 different brands but since I found this one I am pleased with it, I recommend this grinder. I hope i was able to help you.

it would but at such small quantities it would not be practical this grinder is for herbs and spices. there are better larger grinders out there for grinding grains

Can't imagine it would be any different than the coarse pink Himalayan salt we use it for. Works great for that.

I bought a Japanese ceramic salt grinder here on Amazon and it works great even with the wetness of this salt. It is called a Kyocera Ceramic Fine Mill.

It can work with regular salt but doesn't really grind that much finer. Works best with sea salt and or kosher salt!

I use the coarse salt in my grinder with no problems. I also use it unground sometimes, like on a slow-roasted pork shoulder wrapped in banana leaves (kaluah pig).

I don't see why not-it is a very durable grinder that should handle any plant material

Not to worry! It is not a salt "grinder". It is a salt "shaker". It is advised that you use Sea Salt only.

Not sure since it's not something I've tried. Don't know why not - you can get the grind as fine as you want - it's a SUPER grinder!

I wouldn't recommend it, It's meant for medium rock salt, it has little holes on the bottom to take in the air when you use it, So I think with the fine salt it would then be a salt shaker instead of what it's intended for.It comes with a small bag of rock salt. use about half of it. it lasts for a few months...

I would advise against it. I never tried it but it I think that is stretching its capability. I think a grinder would do a better job.

Yes it does! I have Himalayan salt in mine. I think Himalayan is softer than regular coarse salt so this works very well!

As others have said here, for coffee, you can get a course grind by not grinding so long. I use mine for spices and want a very fine grind.

The salt which is for consumption is of a higher quality. Yep, higher quality. That being said, if you use Himalayan salt which is small - it likely won't only fall through the small air inlet holes on the bottom, but would likely absorb the humidity in the air and clump up clogging up the holes. Which would result in making it useless. Folks have had great benefits from the coarsely ground salt. So that's what I would stick with.

I am using mine for salt and pepper but you have to make sure that it is a fine grind, not coarse.

You can set the grinder to grind pretty course but there are mixed reviews about the quality of the grind on course setting. It would work but may have a grind that is not as uniformed as other grinders.
