Kalm with Kava
Kava Vendor
I haven't made a ton of progress with this. As others have stated, this is a common sight in any vendors kava. In my testing it doesn't seem to make a difference if we grind it, or the farmers on the islands grind it; they all have small sandy bits at the bottom. Since it's ubiquitous among all of the islands, I tend to think it might be naturally occurring? I struggle to believe that all grinders foreign and domestic exhibit this problem.Any updates on this issue. I put a magnet in my vula waka and Pouni Ono this week and got iron oxide.
It's really hard to even know unless you had fresh roots that you could pulverize without using any metal equipment just to be sure. A bit of an iron needle in a kava haystack scenario (har har)
