A blade assembly (10) for a food processing appliance comprises a shaft (12) and a base member (16) in which one end of the shaft (12) is journalled for rotation about its axis (14). First and second blade members (22, 24) are mounted to the shaft at respective axial locations (23, 25). These blade members (22, 24) extend radially and in opposite directions from their respective locations (23, 25) on the shaft (12), with the blade member (22) nearer the free end (28) of the shaft (12) being angled back along the shaft towards the base member (16) and the other blade member (24) angled forwardly along the shaft, towards the free end (28). The first blade member (22) further has associated therewith a relatively short and blunt stub-like blade portion (22a) angled forwardly from the support location (23) for the first blade member (22) and extending beyond the free end (28) of the shaft (12). |
