I want to pause here to encourage and invite others to contribute and engage in discussion (if any). Please consider sharing your trusted local and online sources for rare and specialty spices and herbs. For those in the United Kingdom (UK), Canada, or anywhere else globally—where have you sourced any of the spices and herbs I’ve mentioned? For clarity and to avoid confusion, please include the scientific (botanical) name where applicable.
In the next thread, I will be sharing details on Silkrute—an Indian-owned, operated, and Haryana-based online store that I’ve personally vetted. Silkrute ships globally and sources directly from India. Shipping from India to Northern California averages 14 days.
As a reminder:
I am not affiliated with any of the merchants or online stores. In accordance with eGullet forum regulations, the provided links direct to the original sources. They are intended solely as references to expand and enrich our collective knowledge of the culinary arts! As this is my comprehensive and detailed source list, please perform your due diligence. I will not be responsible for any issues encountered, as individual shopping experiences may vary.
I’ve created a companion thread here at eGullet: Regional Indian, Pakistani, and Bangladeshi Masale (Spice Blends). https://forums.egullet.org/topic/167461-regional-indian-pakistani-and-bangladeshi-masale-spice-blends. Feel free to watch and follow. If you have any questions, reply directly in the thread—I'll gladly point you in the right direction.
