A mortar and pestle is a kitchen device used since ancient times to prepare ingredients or substances by crushing and grinding them into a fine paste or powder. The mortar is a bowl, typically made of hardwood, ceramic, or stone. The pestle is a heavy and blunt club-shaped object, the end of which is used for crushing and grinding. The substance to be ground is placed in the mortar and ground, crushed or mixed using a pestle. Mortars and pestles have been used in cooking recipes and are also frequently associated with the profession of pharmacy due to their historical use in preparing medicines.
