Nutmeg
$9.00 – $32.00Nutmeg has symbolized both romance and affluence. Once considered one of the most valuable spices, it was believed to give gamblers luck, to enhance a man’s prowess, and during medieval times, it was even thought to ward off the plague.
Use in traditional Middle Eastern lamb recipes, soups and in curries as well as in cream sauces, breads, pies, and baked goods. Sprinkle on holiday beverages — eggnog, punch, and mulled wines.
Cardamom Seed
$10.00 – $15.00Part of the ginger family, Cardamom means grains of paradise. Historically, Cardamom has been used to flavor foods, as an ingredient in perfumes, and even for medicinal purposes.
Known for its sweet and spicy taste, Cardamom seed is used equally in sweet dishes such as breads and cakes and in savory dishes such as meats and curries. Use in baked goods, sprinkle on oatmeal, ice cream, or iced melon, and add to curry. Cardamom has a sharp aroma and distinctive flavor that can be compared to anise or eucalyptus. For a Middle Eastern treat, sprinkle in your coffee.

Featured In:
Cinnamon ~ Ceylon
$8.00 – $25.60Ceylon – the true Cinnamon, scientifically speaking – has a mellow, citrusy flavor & a woodsy, floral aroma; more subtle with less of a bite than Cassia. Hailed for health benefits & considered more precious than gold in ancient Egypt.
Perfect for dishes with few competing flavors, such as custards, puddings, baked fruits and whipped cream, or simply sprinkled on oatmeal, yogurt or toast. Use also in sauces and curries, and add to lamb and vegetable dishes.
Cinnamon ~ Baker’s Blend
$7.00 – $22.40Our blend of Cassia Cinnamons, the Baker’s Blend is both stronger and sweeter than traditional cinnamon, but not as overpowering as pure Saigon Cassia. Use in same proportions as with any other Cinnamon.
Dawn
$12.00This signature blend delivers some very adult, sentimental flavors to your morning yogurt, transporting you to an exotic place that is somehow familiar and comforting. Subtly sweet with coconut sugar, featuring vanilla & saffron, with bites of sesame & flax seed. A generous spoonful of Dawn in plain yogurt unlocks a delicate treat.
Note: due to a substantial increase in the cost of vanilla, we have had to raise the price of this blend.
Quick Tips:
- Try Dawn in coffee, on top of the foam in lattes, sprinkled over buttered toast, or even over popcorn as a kettlecorn stand-in.
