Grinder Cards
Grinder cards are flat graters intended for manually breaking down dry herbs. They take up little space and work by moving material across a perforated surface.
List of products
A grinder card combines a card-like format with the function of a grater. It has no screw-together body or separate chambers: the user grinds dry herbs directly on its working surface, controlling the pace and fineness with hand movements. This construction is especially useful where simplicity, small dimensions, and easy access to the accessory's entire surface matter.
How a Grinder Card Works
The card's working elements are specially shaped openings or raised edges. Dry herbs moved across them are mechanically broken down, much like on a small grater. Pressure, direction, and the number of strokes affect the result, allowing the process to proceed gradually.
The open construction distinguishes this accessory type from a classic twist grinder. Ground material does not enter an enclosed chamber or pass through a multi-piece mechanism. The card can be held over a prepared surface or container to collect the result immediately.
The character of a flat construction
The defining feature of this group is its thin format without moving parts. A card fits easily in a small case or pocket and requires no twisting of components during use. The entire working surface remains visible, making the fineness of the grind easy to observe.
Individual cards may differ in material, dimensions, perforation pattern, opening size, and edge finish. These differences affect grip, grinding intensity, and the resulting texture. The category includes the RAW Shredder Card/Grater, among other items.

Use and cleaning
Handle the card steadily without excessive pressure, keeping your hands away from the grating surface. Gradual grinding gives greater control over the result and reduces scattered material.
After use, remove residue from the openings and both sides of the card. Adapt the cleaning method to the specific model's material to avoid damaging the surface or print. The accessory should be clean and dry before storage.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does a grinder card differ from a twist grinder?
A card is a flat grater without a screw-together body or chambers. Material is ground by moving it across an open working surface rather than between rotating parts.
