I had some honey powder and yesterday I finally got some bee pollen. Last night, I tried grinding the two ingredients and found it amazingly difficult. The mortar and pestle I used is a small one from Ikea.
When I grind the honey crystals, the honey starts collecting onto the mortar and the pestle like it's solid. After I'm done, I probably have half of what I started stuck to the mortar and pestle. Where there's so much stuck to the mortar and pestle, I can't really grind anything.
The bee pollen grinds a lot better, but it's still difficult. I can grind most of the pollen but when I'm left with the darker/harder pollen particles, I have the same problem as with the honey crystals.
Do you guys who make this stuff have the same problems? How do you grind it?
