Do seeds contain allergens?

Sesame and groundnuts (peanuts) are common allergens. Allergen information is listed on each product page and on the pack label.

Should seeds be roasted before use?

Many recipes call for dry-roasting sesame, groundnuts or flax to bring out their flavour. Roast on low heat and cool before storing.

How should I store these products?

Keep them in an airtight container in a cool, dry place, away from moisture and direct sunlight, and always use a clean, dry spoon. Each product page has specific storage notes.

Small seeds, big flavour

Edible Seeds

Edible seeds do a lot of quiet work in Indian cooking — mustard crackles in every tadka, sesame goes into podis and Sankranti sweets, and groundnuts turn into chutneys and chikki.

This collection covers the seeds most South Indian kitchens keep on hand, in small packs for tempering and larger packs for podis and sweets.
