  • Mortars and pestles are incorporated into many medical symbols because pharmacists have been using them to prepare medicine for centuries. Granite used for this mortar and pestle provides a tough, non-porous surface.

    In Pushto, here in Pakistan, mortar and pestle are called langri danda.

    The molcajetes from Mexico are similar but not painted, my mom bought me one and I had to " break it in" by grinding rice in it until no stone dust came out of it.

      molcajete and granite mortars are very different tools! the former are made from rough, porous stone, and best suited to mushing and grinding tough, fibrous plant matter into a paste. (making salsa) the latter are much smoother and harder, and way better at pounding and crushing hard, dry ingedients into fine dust.

      Re: grinding rice: 50 grit sandpaper works like a charm with minimal effort, in a fraction of the time. :)

      Mortar and pestle are still essential tools in modern kitchens. All those spice grinders integrated in little jars in supermarkt shelves? Laughable! A granite mortar may look primitive and heavy. But when it comes to grinding hard ingredients with freely choosable roughness, they still are far superior.

    Can you do a video on some primitive building techniques? how linen is made from plants, how to weave furniture, how bricks are made, how pottery is made from clay, etc. I think a lot of those techniques are almost like forgotten technology because we have better technology people often don't learn those skills anymore and rely on technology. Also a molecular gastronomy series would be cool too all about science of food similar to what heston blumenthal does

    Is it safe to eat the rock dust from a mortar and pestle? when I crush spices microscopic particles of rock also go into the food it's almost impossible to avoid getting rock dust in your food even after seasoning the mortal and pestle and washing it with water

    • @kittensnark
      @kittensnark Před 5 lety +11

      As long as you're not ingesting entire spoonfuls of dust, it is entirely harmless. Your body will just not absorb the stone, and will pass it as waste within a day or so with no lasting ill effects. Keep in mind, people have been using these sorts of tools in basically the exact form and materials they are today, for thousands of years. Only when the tools are made from toxic ingredients (such as lead in ancient Rome), did they ever cause any health problems.
