Why do you need a Mortar and Pestle?
Mortar and pestles are a traditional kitchen utensil, used more when buying whole spices was more common. Bringing out the oils and the spice flavors by cracking them or grinding them in a mortar and pestle will help make your dishes more flavorful and true to the recipes. Sometimes pre-ground spices have been packaged for too long before they are sold and they lose their flavor over time. Buying and using whole spices with a mortar and pestle can help keep the flavors bright and fresh.
