Saffron is the dried stigma of the Crocus flower. It is the most expensive spice in the world. Saffron has a distinct aroma - rich, musky, floral and honeyed. The taste is very delicate and it adds a brilliant golden yellow colour to dishes. It is often called “Spice of the Gods”. There have been times when Saffron has been worth more than its weight in gold.

Mace is the red skin that envelopes the hard kernel of a nutmeg. When it is dried, the colour changes from a bright red to a warm orange. Mace has a cleaner more savoury flavour than nutmeg.
Nutmeg comes from an evergreen tree indigenous to the Banda Islands in the Moluccas (or Spice Islands) of Indonesia. Two spices are derived from the fruit: nutmeg (the seed) and mace, the outer skin.
Ajwan belongs to the same family as cumin, the seeds look like a smaller, rounder version of cumin; greyish green to reddish brown. The flavour is more spicy and pungent than cumin. Ajwan seeds are often used whole not crushed.
Annatto seeds come from the achiote trees of tropical and subtropical regions ,around the world. The seeds are sourced for a carotenoid-based yellow to orange food colouring. The seeds are slightly peppery, sweet with a hint of nutmeg

Aniseed spice comes from Pimpinella anisum, a flowering plant native to the eastern Mediterranean region and Southwest Asia. Its flavour has similarities with some other spices, such as star anise, fennel, and liquorice.
Cardamom is the fruit of a large, perennial bush that grows wild in the rainforests of a mountain range called the Western Ghats in India. It is referred to as the ‘Queen of Spices’. The oval pods are green in colour, with around 12 tiny, dark brown or black, sticky seeds. They taste lemony and flowery, with a note of camphor or eucalyptus.

Peppercorns are the fruit of a flowering vine, which are dried and used as a spice or seasoning. They are dark red when fully mature, and, like all drupes, contain a single seed. Black peppercorns are processed and dried unripe fruit, green peppercorns are dried unripe fruit and white peppercorns are unripe fruit seeds, with the husk of the black peppercorn removed. Pink peppercorns are the fruit of a plant from a different family, the Peruvian pepper tree, Schinus molle, or its relative the Brazilian pepper tree, Schinus terebinthifolius. Black pepper used to be the main source of heat in all Indian dishes before chillies were introduced in the 15th Century. It is known as ‘King of the Spices’.
Mixed Spice:  Our mixed spice is a blend of the sweet spices including coriander, cassia, ginger, nutmeg, fennel and cloves, which is ideal for baking and cooking. This aromatic mix has traditionally been used to compliment many dishes and is sometimes referred to as ‘English Pudding Spice’ and resembles the American ‘Pumpkin Spice’ blend.

Sumach:  The sumach bush, native to the Middle East, produces deep red berries, which are dried and ground into coarse powder. The spice has a tangy lemony flavour, but is less tart than lemon juice. Sumach is a widely used, essential spice in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cooking and is used in dry rubs, marinades and dressing. 
Cinnamon is obtained from the inner bark of trees from the genus Cinnamomum. While Cinnamomum zeylanicum (verum) is sometimes considered to be "true cinnamon", most cinnamon is derived from a related species "cassia". Ceylonese zeylanicum sticks (quills) have many thin layers and can easily be powdered using a grinder, whereas cassia sticks are much harder and capable of damaging a spice or coffee grinder. Cassia is often sold in quills made up of one thick layer of bark, but is also available as broken pieces, as the bark is not supple enough to be rolled into quills. Zeylanicum cinnamon sticks are only made with thin inner bark, have a lighter brown colour, a finer, less dense, and more crumbly texture, and are considered to be more aromatic but has a more subtle flavour - the cassia has a much stronger taste.

Asafoetida is a dried, resinous gum collected from the rhizome of three species of the Ferula (Giant Fennel) plant which is then ground to a fine powder. It is also known as Hing. It has a very strong, pungent smell and the flavour mellows as it is fried in oil. When cooked it has a truffle-like flavour and a roasted garlic aroma.

A note on Capsicum Varieties
Cayenne pepper is made from a hot pepper, Capsicum frutescens and has a specific heat of 30-50,000 schoville units. Paprika is made from bell peppers, which are milder varieties of capsicum and can range from sweet, semi-sweet, to hot - adding sweetness and colour, rather than heat to dishes.

Turmeric is a rhizomatous herbaceous perennial plant of the ginger family. It is native to tropical Tamilnadu in India and needs temperatures between 20 °C and 30 °C and a considerable amount of annual rainfall to thrive. It is a key ingredient in many Asian dishes. It is used in ayurvedic and Chinese medicine and Western medical practitioners have recently recognised the benefits of turmeric.

Our pink rock salt comes from the Himalayas in the Northern Punjab, at the feet of the Himalayan Mountains.  It is deposited by the drying of an ocean bed, many millions of years ago.  It can vary in colour from bright white/clear crystals to pale pink, orange or even red.  It is naturally clean, food grade and has undergone no refining.
