Crushgrind © Billund Nutmuskaatmolen

This green nutmeg mill belongs to the Crushgrind© Billund series, and like the spice mills in this series, it is made of biocomposite material. Thanks to the razor-sharp blades you can grind hard nuts and seeds effortlessly, like nutmeg.

Permanently reduced in price! Also available as a second chance – used only once to demonstrate its functionality.

This eight-centimeter-tall Billund—the smallest in the series—was modeled after Lego minifigures, just as the spice mills were. Lego is the common thread throughout Crushgrind's designs (Lego plastic was used for the black Kala), 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 coniferous wood - that is cut from sustainably managed forests. It has a low CO₂ footprint, unlike biomaterials made from edible crops. The biocomposite used for the 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, just 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, as shown here.

See in this short YouTube video from Crushgrind how the nutmeg grinder works.
