This green nutmeg mill belongs to the Crushgrind© Billund series, and is made of biocomposite material, just like the spice mills in this series. Thanks to the razor-sharp blades you can easily grind hard nuts and seeds, such as nutmeg.
For this eight centimetre high Billund - the smallest in the series - the mini-figures of Lego were the model, just like for the spice mills. Lego is the common thread in the designs of Crushgrind (for the black Kala Lego plastic was used), this time by Sam(uel) Murley of the Danish concept developer Ideas.
The mill is made with a biocomposite (biobased plastic) with cellulose fibres from certified wood - mainly softwood - that is cut from sustainably managed forests. It has a low CO2 footprint unlike biomaterials made from edible crops. The biocomposite used for Billund does not compete with the food production chain.
The biocomposite is based on almost 100% renewable materials with two main components:
- cellulose fibers,
- liquid rosin (called tall oil), a residue from pulp production
Usage
When you remove the rotating part, you will see a spacious container, also suitable for larger nuts, so you no longer have to fit and measure. The laser-cut 'grater' - also known by the brand name Microplane - does not grate, but cuts wafer-thin layers.
The designer has provided the mill, like the classic nutmeg grater, with a storage space for the nut in use, so that it can be stored airtight after grating, and the mill returns to its compact shape, shown here.
See in this short Youtube video from Crushgrind how the nutmeg grinder works.
