hello everybody !

finally i collected everything i needed to start a ATB salt extraction ;
so first of all , i wanted to reduce my MHRB into powder , as the one i have is just roughly cutted in big shunks of around two to three centimeters for the main part ...
i putted it (100g, not that much) in a powerfull mixer/blender, and then all it does is blocking the blade of the mixer , like if the pieces of root are too hard ; so i cutted them down to smaller pieces (around 1cm), and same thing happened ^^
i bagged all of it in a ziploc bag and stored it in the freezer , hoping it will soften the bark , but i don't know if it will affect the hardness of the product at all.
so do you guys have a special technic to soften the bark shunks to grind them more eazily to powder ?
thanks in advance .
sorry if my english is so so , it's not my main language Razz !!

Good quality Syrian rue (Peganum harmala) for an incredible price!

We used a pair of sheet metal shears/cutters to get it as small as possible....then some good old pestle and moarter action with added elbow grease. Until majority would pass through a sieve. The bark was very dry this definitely helps

Vitamix will powderize many things quite nicely. They will make flour ect very versatile units imo.

Swim prefer to freeze the bark before starting the process of shredding. Then he uses GOOD cofee blender.
