About this Product
Hailed for its aroma and flavor alike, the ubiquitous garam masala elevates just about any dish with its signature complexity, versatility, and heat. While every family's recipe is different, garam masala makes up the base of thousands of South Asian dishes. After testing 25 versions and creating five of our own, you're holding our final blend — 12 single-origin, freshly-harvested spices that have been carefully roasted and blended for a perfect balance of spicy, sweet, earthy, and zesty flavors. Sourced from 58 small regenerative family farms across India and Sri Lanka, the spices in this tin have been chosen for their flavor, freshness, and potency. In our commitment to building a more equitable spice trade, we pay an average 4x premium to our farm partners. Ingredients: Jodhana Cumin, Hariyali Fennel, Nandini Coriander, Aranya Black Pepper, Wild Cinnamon Quills, Anamalai Mace, Anamalai Nutmeg, Black Cardamom, Himalayan Tejpatta, Green Cardamom, Makhir Ginger, Kandyan Cloves
