Jeera (Cumin) Powder – Stone Ground – 100 g

Where it comes from

• Rajasthan known for growing India’s best cumin
• Cleaned and sorted, then ground here

Why low heat

• Cumin is almost entirely aroma — cuminaldehyde, which is volatile and heat-sensitive
• Industrial grinding destroys much of it before the powder is packed
• That’s why supermarket jeera powder tastes flat and you keep adding more

What’s not in it

• No ground grass seed
• No lookalike seeds from the same family, blended in because they cost less
• No charcoal or sawdust — used in tested samples to darken the colour, because darker reads as more roasted

How to use it

• Into the gravy, not the tadka (use whole seed for tadka)
• Raita, chaat, jeera aloo, marinades
• Half a teaspoon does what a full one did before
