The tool of claim 3 wherein said cap has a base panel mounting said pusher teeth, said panel being substantially coextensive with said unit and overlying said unit with said teeth depending from said panel into rotational alignment with said spaces between said blades, and a peripheral wall surrounding said cap base panel and extending upward therefrom to define an upwardly opening chamber in said cap, said lower portion of said container being adapted for selective reception and rotation within said cap chamber for cooperation with said chamber in decorticating a comestible received in said chamber upon relative rotation between said chamber and said lower portion of said container received therein. 5. The tool of claim 4 including gripping means on said cap base panel and upwardly directed into said chamber for an engagement of an introduced comestible to reduce rotational movement of the combustible as the chamber and container lower portion are rotated relative to each other. 6. The tool of claim 1 including a collection tray having a tray bottom substantially coextensive with said upper and lower faces of said comminuting unit, a linearly aligned series of openings defined through said tray bottom and sized to receive said set of blades, said tray bottom seating on the upwardly directed face of said comminuting unit with the set of blades projecting upwardly through the openings, said tray being upwardly removable from said comminuting unit upon removal of said cap subsequent to comminution of a received combustible. 7. A processing tool for comestibles comprising a comminuting unit having a support panel with opposed upper and lower faces, a first set of comminuting blades fixed to and extending upwardly from said upper face, said blades being spaced from each other and aligned transversely across said upper face, a second set of aligned and spaced blades fixed to and extending from said lower face transversely thereacross and both opposed to and paralleling said first set of blades, each set of blades having a comminuting profile differing from that of the other set of blades, said comminuting unit being invertible and selectively upwardly directing either face and set of blades thereon, a cap rotatably receivable over said comminuting unit and a corresponding upwardly directed set of blades thereon, said cap including a series of spaced aligned pusher teeth depending therefrom and selectively engaging between the blades of the upwardly directed set of blades on said comminuting unit upon rotation of said cap relative to said comminuting unit about a common center of rotation for a comminuting of comestibles received between said cap and said comminuting unit. 8. The tool of claim 7 wherein said depending aligned teeth on said cap define a curving configuration presenting an arced segment to each radial side of said center of rotation. 9. The tool of claim 8 including a collection tray having a tray bottom substantially coextensive with said upper and lower faces of said comminuting unit, an aligned series of openings defined through said tray bottom and sized to alternately receive each set of blades, said tray bottom seating on the upwardly directed face of said comminuting unit with the corresponding set of blades projecting upwardly through the openings, said tray being upwardly removable said comminuting unit upon removal of said cap subsequent to comminution of received combustibles. 10.
