By the time Marco Polo came across turmeric fingers in China, they had already spread throughout the world from their home in southern India. This batch is ground from the mature rhizome of the Curcuma longa plant, grown in the Madras region. Earthy, warm and faintly bitter, turmeric lends its vivid orange golden to Indian curries, rice dishes and Middle Eastern cooking. Also known as: Alleppey Turmeric, Indian Saffron, Madras Turmeric.

At medieval weddings in Germany, the bride and groom carried cumin, amongst other spices, in their pockets to secure themselves against infidelity. Generally, though, cumin is added to dishes all over the world for its warm, earthy aroma and flavour: a touch bitter, even nutty, similar to caraway yet less intense. Also known as: Cummin, jeera.

Smooth and creamy, the base of Velvety Vanilla Chai Tea is made of high quality, full-bodied Ceylon orange pekoe, which gives a rich, copper-coloured infusion.

Madagascan vanilla adds softness and sweetness to this traditional tea.

While chillies are mostly used for their flavour and heat, paprika is used for its vibrant colour and full-bodied, rich flavour. Also from the capsicum family, paprika is the name given to only slightly hot members. This paprika (also known as 'pimentón dulce') is sweet in flavour without any bitterness. It is well used in most European recipes including Hungarian gulasch and roast chicken.

Our Vanilla Bean Sugar uses only the fine seeds from Madagascan vanilla, which are hand-stripped out of each pod. Vanilla bean is the dried and cured seed pod of a tropical South American climbing orchid and it takes up to three months to get market ready.

This sugar also pairs well with pork and, of course, with anything containing chocolate. Great for baking and compotes, simply use in place of normal sugar.

Sumac comes from the outer flesh of a berry that is harvested when crimson, from trees grown wild in the Mediterranean region. It is often found in southern Italy and much of the Middle East, and commonly used in Turkish and Mediterranean cuisine. When used in cooking, sumac adds a tangy, lemony taste to salads, rice dishes and kebab meats.

All parts of the coriander plant are edible, with the seeds releasing a lemony citrus flavour when ground. Coriander seeds complement both sweet and savoury foods and are often dry roasted to enhance and alter the aroma. Found in many different cuisines around the globe, the uses are plenty, from curries to pickling, and sausages to cakes.
