ABOUT US

Indian spice trading dates back over 4,000 years, making it one of humanity's oldest commercial enterprises. Indian spices were the original and true 'ratna' which was employed in ancient commerce. Ancient civilizations prized Indian spices not just for flavor, but for their medicinal properties and ability to preserve food in hot climates. The spice routes connected India to Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and Southeast Asian markets, creating the world's first global trade networks. These routes shaped world history, funding empires and inspiring exploration voyages. Our ancestors developed sophisticated cultivation techniques, grinding methods, and spice combinations that remain unchanged today - because perfection needs no improvement.

Indian spices have been traded for over 4,000 years, influencing global cuisines and recipes. Savratna preserves these ancient 'ratnas' by using the traditional preparation methods, orthodox recipes and sourcing methods that honor this rich heritage.

We source directly from farmers, avoid artificial additives, and use hygienic processing including stone grinding to maintain natural aroma and potency.

Direct Farm Partnerships - We work exclusively with certified organic farmers who use traditional, chemical-free cultivation methods passed down through generations.

Traditional Processing - Spices are sun-dried using ancient techniques, then ground in small batches using stone mills that preserve essential oils and authentic flavors.

Sealed Freshness - Aseptic sealed packaging within 24 hours of grinding locks in aroma and ensures you receive spices at peak potency.

Absolutely. Our blends are crafted to replicate the exact flavors used in ancestral Indian cooking, perfect for biryanis, curries and tandoori dishes. Our commitment to direct farm sourcing, traditional spice blends, and no compromise on purity sets us apart, ensuring authentic flavors and fair trade.

Our methods ensure every pinch of Savratna carries the same depth and complexity your great-grandmother would recognize and approve of.

Ancient Grinding Methods - We use traditional stone grinding mills that operate at low temperatures, preserving volatile oils that give spices their authentic aroma and taste.

Seasonal Harvesting - Spices are harvested only during optimal seasons when essential oil content peaks, following lunar calendars used by our ancestors.

Family Recipe Preservation - We work with multigenerational farming families who maintain seed varieties and blending techniques unchanged for centuries.

Yes, because we maintain the same standards our ancestors used. Traditional Indian cooking relied on spices ground fresh daily using stone mortars. Our stone-grinding process replicates this exactly, releasing the same complex aromatic compounds. We source heirloom seed varieties - not hybrid versions bred for shelf life over flavor. Our turmeric has the deep, earthy complexity of varieties grown for millennia. Our coriander seeds come from plants whose genetics haven't been altered for commercial agriculture. Many customers tell us our spices transport them back to their grandmother's kitchen, recreating childhood food memories they thought were lost forever. That's the power of authentic, traditionally processed spices.
