Abstract
A hand held granulator for peppercorns, salt, nuts, spices, foliage greens and the like with storage of unground and ground material. A first cylindrical container portion with removable cap stores unground material and a second cylindrical container portion stores ground material. Two sealingly engaged central flanges with an interchangeable grinding screen there between receive the first and second containers on either side with the first in sliding rotational engagement and the second in fixed engagement. A twisting motion imparted by the hands results in grinding of the materials between the first container portion and the screen. Ground material passes through the grinding screen and is either retained in the second cylindrical container or dropped free.
