A Different Kind Of Spice!

By Anonymous

eSutras Organics features lots of amazing products, but we also have rare spices most stores seldom carry. These spices are used in different parts of the world since ancient times. Some of these spices have medicinal qualities, some are great at enriching flavors you’re already used to, and some are flavors you’ve never tasted before. Try something new with anyone of these amazing flavors!

eSutras Organics Stone Flower - Stone Flower or better known as Dagad Phool in India is a soft, brown and black colored lichen. The spice is used in many popular Indian dishes. This spice is used for making various masalas like Goda Masala/ Kala Masala. It does have a strong earthy aroma and a very dry, light fluffy texture and feel to it. It is an important ingredient of the hot curry powder.

eSutras Organics Mace - Mace is made from the red covering of nutmeg seeds. Mace is very similar to nutmeg, with a slight, subtle, peppery taste. Mace is strongly aromatic, resinous and warm in taste. People sometimes add it to brighten a dish because of its eye catching red color.

eSutras Organics Black Cumin - Culinary use of black cumin seeds is to grind them up. Ground cumin adds an interesting flavor to salads and stir-fry dishes, especially when combined with lemon, cilantro, and tahini. You can use it like pepper. Historically is has been used to calm upset stomachs a remedy for headaches, toothaches, colds, and infections. A very unique and versatile spice

eSutras Organics Pomegranate Peel Powder - eSutras Pomegranate Peel can be used to flavor soups, stews, rice and vegetable dishes. It is high in vitamin C and contains almost double the amount of antioxidants than the pulp or juice. It can also be taken as an herbal supplement.

Partake of the beautiful Lotus to inspire your mind. It sedates and seduces..

By
Lotus - Its God's favorite flower...Its mysticism may also be linked to the  mild narcotic or sedative effects   from flowers that are eaten, smoked or steeped in wine and drank. Also called the world's most beautiful flower, the lotus is the most sacred, and it seems there never was a time when man did not adore it.....Of all the myriad buds and blooms, the most revered and esteemed--by God and man--is the magnificent lotus in the sub continent and all across China and Japan. According to Buddhism and Hinduism, within each human inhabiting the earth is the spirit of the sacred lotus. It represents eternity, purity and divinity and is widely used as a symbol of life, fertility, ever-renewing youth and to describe feminine beauty, especially the eyes. One of the most common metaphysical analogies compares the lotus' perennial rise to faultless beauty from a miry environment to the evolution of man's consciousness--from instinctive impulses to spiritual liberation.
