Device for dispensing granular food products and an insert to be inserted in a device for dispensing granular food products

A device for dispensing granular foodstuff, the device comprising:

• an elongate container in which foodstuff to be dispensed can be placed, the container having a longitudinal axis (L) extending from a first end to a second end and a dispensing opening at the first end through which the granular foodstuff can be dispensed;
• and
• a cradle in which the container is supported, wherein, when the container rests in the cradle, the longitudinal axis of the container is inclined relative to the horizontal plane and the container can be rotated about the longitudinal axis (L), and wherein the container has an inner wall surface which is provided with at least one guide in a shape of a longitudinal elevation that extends in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis (L) of the container such that rotation of the container causes the granular foodstuff inside the container to be first lifted by the at least one guide and then fall down, and wherein the container comprises a braking plate upstream of the dispensing opening, wherein said braking plate is arranged to block a part of a path towards the dispensing opening but allows the foodstuff to pass between the braking plate and the inner wall surface of the container, and wherein the container has a collar in the area around the dispensing opening which the collar counteracts that the granular foodstuff falls out of the container when the container is at a standstill, and wherein an area between the collar and the braking plate is divided in a circumferential direction into at least two separate compartments such that rotation of the container about the longitudinal axis (L) will cause the granular foodstuff in at least one compartment to fall out of the dispensing opening while the granular foodstuff from a part of the container upstream of the braking plate falls into at least one other compartment.
