Can you use it for fresh herbs (not dry)? ie: parsley, cilantro

Dry herb sticks to this thing easily. I wouldn't recommend using fresh herbs because it might be worse. Also this thing is tiny. It's 1/4 the size of my palm.

Yes, it has some nice blades on it, with a washer to help grinding the fresh stuff.

Cannot be used for canning, would not be safe!!! If you have the jar attachment it can be used to store dried herbs and dehydrated vegtables.

We actually have never used it with anything but dry spices....sage, dry peppers, basil, etc that we've grown in the garden, and dried. But it washes well, and we love the weight, as it doesn't move around when you are trying to pulverize things. Great for making homemade rubs!

I don't see why not. The difference between fresh/dried peppermint is that the fresh is a bit stronger, and the dried is easier to store (IMO). This makes a wonderful tea, I don't see why it wouldn't work well in an infusion.

ive never tried drying anything but herb. it may be a little wobbly under the weight of alot of fruit. it holds up pretty well under the weight of like 10 lbs of harvested leafy material distributed evenly across it, not sure it could hold alot of tomatoes. it is not screened in, completely open over each tray area.

I don't use it for fresh food but I can't see any reason why it wouldn't suit your needs.

I think it would. I used it for thyme which is pretty delicate like parsley and cilantro.

No, Not in my opinion. I grind my herbs after I dehydrate them in a small blender/chopper.

No, the spout would become plugged. You would have to remove the spout. I have tried dry herbs, it didn

Yes, If you are buying the large containers from one of the big box stores, you should have no problems, if you are useing freash parsley then it wont work. Hope it helps.

you sure can! I use it to cut coriander and parsley too! even onions I cut them with a normal knife and then finish with this herb tool, it's great!

I haven't used it on lettuce or larger greens, but I have had good success with fresh herbs such as basil and parsley. It seems to get them small enough to use in dishes without mutilating them.

I use mine for Orchids and African Violets--works great. I would think it would work for herbs.

I think it could be used to cut dried herbs, although you might want to use a container with sides to do it. I would not use it for seeds. The cutting wheels are too far apart and the seeds would just slide out of the way.

Cheng-ann,I use mine for spices and what not, and haven't had any problems yet! Sometimes the spices tend to get a bit dry, but definitely no problems with bugs or staleness!Hope this helps,Alison

This system is a little big for herbs. Your best bet for herbs and such would be an aerogarden deluxe or something similar.

Yes..you certainly could! It might be a bit tricky like you'll have to cut the cinnamon sticks in pieces first THEN grind it, same as the cloves. The teeth of this grinder is extremely sharp so i warn anyone using this grinder on not throwing caution to the wind..it could cut you without you even knowing it so be very careful using this. Other than that it's a superb and finely made grinder. I have used mine for many things including herbs like thyme and rosemary, whole peppercorns and big seeds. A highly recommended product and you cannot possibly go wrong getting this for yourself for it comes in handy. I hope I answered your question. :)
