The Heart of Indian Cuisine: Spices and Herbs
India, known globally as the land of spices, has a rich history of herb and spice cultivation dating back thousands of years. These versatile ingredients are essential in Indian cooking, serving as flavoring and coloring agents, natural preservatives, and antioxidants.
As one of the largest spice exporters globally, India boasts a diverse range of spices, including cumin, coriander, turmeric, and saffron. The Himalayas, with their unique climate and soil conditions, are home to a variety of valuable flora, including medicinal plants like turmeric and rhododendron.
