Buying whole spices online
Whole spices keep their oils until you crack or grind them, so they stay aromatic far longer than powders. We sell them whole, sorted to one grade and packed in clear airtight jars so you can check colour and size before you open the lid.
Every product page lists the growing district, the grade, the jar sizes with their price per 100 g, and how to store it. Orders over ₹799 ship free across India.
If you are buying khada masala for a biryani or a whole garam masala, start with green cardamom, cloves, cassia and black pepper. For tempering, cumin and ajwain. Not sure which cinnamon you need? Compare Ceylon and cassia.
