Caraway, called Shah Jeera (royal cumin) in India, is a spice with fine, elongated seeds cultivated in the dry regions of Rajasthan. Its aromatic profile is more complex than ordinary cumin: anise-like, earthy and slightly bitter notes that bring a distinctive signature to Mughal dishes and fragrant rice. We select whole first-quality seeds to preserve their essential oils and aromatic intensity.
Whole caraway seeds retain their essential oils far longer than powder and release their aromas on contact with heat. They allow a perfect tempering at the start of cooking, or can be dry-roasted before being incorporated. Their slightly crunchy texture also adds an interesting mouthfeel to breads and rice dishes.
We source our spices exclusively from certified organic producers in India, to guarantee you a natural product of premium quality.
To preserve all its aromas, store your caraway seeds in a dry place, away from light and humidity, in their airtight packaging.

Nos épices sont importées directement d'Inde et conditionnées à la demande pour garantir une fraîcheur optimale. Contrairement aux épices vendues en grande surface qui peuvent rester des mois sur les étagères, nous veillons à ce que chaque épice conserve toute sa saveur et son arôme.
Chaque épice provient de régions spécifiques en Inde réputées pour leur savoir-faire. Nous travaillons directement avec des producteurs locaux qui cultivent leurs épices de manière traditionnelle et biologique, sans pesticides ni produits chimiques.
Pour révéler tous les arômes, nous recommandons de faire légèrement griller les épices entières à sec dans une poêle avant de les moudre. Conservez-les dans un endroit sec et à l'abri de la lumière pour préserver leur fraîcheur le plus longtemps possible.
Les épices entières sont bien meilleures que les épices moulues
