Pull Herbs Through Grater

By attosa

Herbs being pulled through a grater to separate the leaves from the stem.This is a fast way to separate herb leaves from their stems. Poke the bottom end of the fresh herb stem in a hole on a grater, then pull on the stem. The herb leaves will be saved on top, while the stems gather on the work surface. Use the smaller grater holes for smaller stems. This is great for fresh herbs like parsley that are time consuming to separate.
