Abstract: A grinder for walnut and other nut segments which have been removed from the shell, which grinder resembles a physical configuration of a grinder for peppercorns. The grinder features a crank rotatable shaft connected to a grinding element disposed within a lower portion of a generally cylindrical housing. A series of spaced flutes is mounted on the interior surface of the lower portion of the apparatus to direct nut segments to the cutter. The grinder element is a rounded trapezoidal in elevation cutter having a series of bulging protrusions each with a sharp edge for mincing a nut segment. Each protrusion is adjacent an opening such that minced pieces pass through an opening to the center of the cutter which is open at the bottom. The grinding element top is closed off by a cutter holder and the cutter is connected to the aforementioned rotatable shaft.
