The Best Pepper Mills
Whether you’re looking for a better presentation at the table and a more flavorful experience, a pepper mill can give you both. Grinding pepper at home maintains the benefits of the healthy nutrients in the unoxidized center of each peppercorn which are typically lost in pre-ground. Fresh black pepper has been known to fight infections, reduce the risk of cancer, facilitate digestion, and more. When choosing your pepper mill, it's important to consider the design, size, grinding mechanism, and how easy it is to refill. Take a look at these four pepper mills and choose the one best for you.
