Spices are the very heart of Indian cooking. Granny’s Garden’s WHOLE SPICES are more fresh, fragrant, and flavorful. Likely the greatest thing about whole spices is that they keep their flavor for about 2x longer than the same product ground up and we all know – fresher is better. Keep spices in their whole form until you’re ready to cook, at which point use a coffee or spice grinder to open up those fresh flavors.
