Thanks, nb. I'm not very good at carrying grams in my head. That is a
nice quick way to get an estimate. I actually have a nice little converter
on my other PC, but didn't want to drag myself over to use it. I wouldn't
hestitate in grinding this amount in my manual grinder, although it would
take a little time. I grind about 2 lbs. of poppyseed in it at Christmas
and at Easter.
