Whole spices guide: buy whole, store right, grind fresh

Why whole spices?

Whole spices keep their oils, aroma and heat much longer than powders. Valluvam whole spices are naturally sun-dried and packed without preservatives or artificial colour, so you can roast and grind them fresh for the best flavour.
