Maybe grinding is better than chopping? If you cut a leaf of lettuce with a knife the cut leaf edge will go bad faster than if you tear it due to the cell walls getting chopped, when torn, the edges tend to separate at cell wall boundaries and it stays fresher a lot longer. Chopping bud in a food processor or blade grinder may break open the cell walls exposing the contents to a higher likelyhood of being extracted.
