A step up from our Organic Starter 4 jar set, this 6 jar organic spice collection is an ideal selection for those that love to cook using only the best organic ingredients. Give it as a gift or use it for yourself - either way you can't go wrong!  We also carry an Organic Kitchen 10 jar spice set and the robust 20 jar Organic Master spice collection.  

Your six selections are: 

Korintje Cinnamon Powder – Sourced from Indonesia, this is the most popular cinnamon we carry (including all the non-organic cinnamons) and is the type of cinnamon that American’s find most frequently in their own kitchens. The Korintje (or thick quill cinnamon) is the higher quality of the several types of cassia cinnamon available. Our Organic Korintje Cinnamon is rated at Grade A with 3% cinnamon oil content.   

Malabar Black Peppercorns – These peppercorns are handpicked just before the berry ripens. While there are a wide variety of peppercorns available the black Malabar features a pronounced spicy flavor (with a bit more heat and slightly more bite while providing just a subtle touch of sweetness) compared to most other types of peppercorns. 

Cumin Seed Powder – With an immediately identifiable flavor, cumin is spicy-sweet, warm, somewhat bitter with earthy undertones.  Usage of cumin in the U.S. was practically non-existent up until the exploding interest in Mexican and Latin American dishes in the last twenty years. But cooks in the Far East, Middle East and North Africa have had cumin as a key spice for many years and it is a central ingredient in Tex-Mex chili, curry, Moroccan coucous, garam masala and various Mexican bean, meat and rice dishes. 

Granulated Garlic – With a rich history in practically every type of cuisine, garlic is one of the most used spices in the world. It appears that garlic enjoys its greatest popularity in Central and South American, Chinese, Indian, Mediterranean, Mexican and Southeast Asian dishes. Our organic Garlic Granules are harvested in the U.S. You can substitute one teaspoon of garlic granules for one fresh garlic clove.  

Turmeric Root Powder – A central ingredient in Curry Powders, Masalas and Ras El Hanout, we source our Turmeric from the Alleppey region in the farthest reaches of southwestern India. This region produces the top quality Turmeric “Fingers” which are appendages that are separated from the main rhizome. These “fingers” possess a greater curcumin content (in essence better coloring), more flavor (because of their higher volatile oil) and this provides the highest quality Turmeric for grinding. 

Curry Powder – Indian cooks make their own curry spice blends from both whole and ground spices depending on which dish they are preparing. While the final outcome is always spicy it is not necessarily hot. We carefully mix our curry blends to give you the taste of curry but with the time-saving advantages of not having to hand mix your own. This particular organic version is not considered hot but more of a medium heat.
