Harvesting of each spice is done at a particular store of maturity in a particular manner suitable for it avoiding any sort of damage before processing. It is transported to the processing centre as quickly as possible and stored properly before it is taken to up for processing.

USES AND APPLICATIONS

There are a large number of dishes used commonly and on special occasions; correspondingly, there may be large variety of Masala (spices) also.

However, the purpose or use of spices (a MASALAS) in dishes is two fold - and being the appetizer and the other being taste and appearance.

Most of the spices are carminative, digestive, stimulant, stanachic, resolvent, antieperiodic etc. Spices are now considered as the natural and necessary component of daily nutrition.

Imagine your food without any spices. Unimaginable, is it? We can easily put it this way; wherever you find an Indian you will find spices. No wonder, when food giants from across the world come to India, they have to add an Indian twist to their menu.
