Currently jeungki is rarely used by the community to pound rice and rice, even to grind coffee so that it can be used. This occurs as the rapid development of Modern technology, so that the people of Aceh prefer practical activity. it is very unfortunate, this cultural heritage continues to be abandoned.
Jeungki options is made of wood with a length of 3.5 meters and a diameter of 30 cm at the ends as pounder and for the base is made flat so ease when in the stampede. the head-shaped wooden pestle mounted round (alee: acehnese), this is a direct timber pounding rice, large or coffee that has been put into the mortar.
In addition to its benefits as dry grain pestle, for the people of Aceh, especially for women, also as a sports facility, for the presence of rice pulverization system can strengthen the muscles and movement of the body if do a regular basis.
