Product Story

About This Spice

Cumin — jeera — is the first spice that hits the hot oil in almost every Indian kitchen.

Sourced from Jodhpur and Nagaur in Rajasthan, our jeera is hand-cleaned and sun-dried to achieve the highest aromatic oil concentration.

The characteristic warm, nutty flavour comes from the natural compound cuminaldehyde, which is fully preserved through our careful handling.
