A spice stall in Marrakech taught me to grind my own

I always bought pre ground spices before my trip. Watching the vendor crush whole seeds right there changed my whole view. Now I see most jarred spice mixes as totally overrated.

Honestly, the best part is how grinding makes your whole kitchen smell incredible.

I read somewhere, drew_park, that smell comes from oils being released.

My old burr grinder wakes up the whole apartment with that smell. It's crazy how those little oil releases can change the mood of a room instantly. What's your favorite cooking smell that does the same thing?
