Fresh herbs and spices bring far more flavor and color to recipes than store-bought dried ingredients—but they need to be properly prepared. While it may be tempting to reach for a noisy, hard-to-clean food processor, science and professional chefs often prefer a mortar and pestle.

The benefit of grinding vs. cutting ingredients, is the smashing action releases the full flavor and aromas of the ingredients.
