Thanks to the corrosion-proof ceramic grinding mechanism, Swedish-made Tulip grinders can be used for everything from salt and pepper, to herbs and seeds of all kinds. Store spices in the glass container at the bottom, then turn the Tulip upside-down to grind on your food; the spout directs the grindings where you want them to go. Any ground spices fall back into the glass container, not on your counter or in your cupboard, when you set the Tulip back down. The grinder is fully adjustable from fine to coarse. 5" tall.
