Ayurvedic Condiments

Our line of condiments are designed to bring out the best taste in food, helping you to Eat The Food That’s Good For You!  Using whole spices, whole roots, fruits and herbs (nothing we use is pre processed) our condiments are broken up into two categories (plus a few anomalies) Either preserved in Jaggery Indian Sugar, we call these Herbal Jams, or lacto-fermented with salt (no vinegar, no water) and special spice combinations, filled with probiotics, we call these Pickles or Ferments..

Each condiment has a carefully considered beneficial combinations and handcrafted to balance 6 basic  tastes classified in Ayurveda as Sweet, Sour, Salty, Bitter, Pungent (hot) and Astringent (earthy / fermented), to generate a unique complexity of taste.

Herbal Jams are made in the style of an Ayurvedic Leyham, which translates to mean ‘herbal jam’. Leyham’s are Indian wellness condiments. Our Herbal Jams use an alchemy of known ancient blends to bring out the best flavor and regeneration to the body, mind, and taste palate, each with its own specific benefit, tastiness and pairing. We follow the traditional method of making Lehyams;  preserving a remedy in Jaggery (unrefined raw cane sugar from India), to assure retention of the potency of the herbs  and spices while complimenting in taste!

Our Ferments, are made traditionally, using salt, with no vinegar or water. We let the vegetable ferment itself, using sunlight and Time as key ingredients in helping this to happen. We are constantly experimenting with new combinations of homegrown and local vegetables and herbs to make original ferments with our own spice combinations. While a few of our tried and true ferments are in our line of products, we also make additional seasonal ferments, only available near us a markets and festivals and our luncheon pickle table!

Food in Ayurveda is meant to generate Agni Deepti (Fire of brilliance) to the Jataragni (Fire inside the stomach), this is the preliminary process of digestion before food is converted into nutrition and energy.  The practice of making food, is to bring out the potency of the materials used in the food to give the body and mind a nourishing experience through taste. It is important that food tastes great and is made up of healthy whole (not processed) ingredients, optimizing the nutritious and delicious benefits.
