Whole Spices
Whole spices are traditionally used for infusing deeper aromas to curries and dishes. These are heated in oil or roasted to release their flavour at the start of the cooking process and then fished out later. Our whole spice collection includes whole peppercorns, cumin seeds (Jeera), Green and Black Cardamom, Cinnamon Sticks, Ajwain, Cloves and Mustard Seeds, and many others.
When spices are without any changes to the plant part, they retain all of its properties. This product range includes pods, bark, seeds, roots and buds, used intact. With their aromas and flavours retained in dried form, these infuse a lot of flavour as compared to their powdered form. These can be used in complete form, broken, lightly crushed or freshly ground just before use.
Many dishes traditionally demand the use of spice in their whole form. Whole spices in whole or ground form offer greater control over flavour and intensity.
