Mild anise-flavoured spice to brighten savoury dishes
Fennel seeds have a light green colour, a mild anise flavour and are seen in a myriad of Mediterranean and Asian dishes. They harmonise well with other spices and herbs, and are especially suitable for salads, light meat (chicken and pork) dishes and fish curries. The sweet and fresh liquorice /anise-like taste also yields well with pickled fruit.
Real C5 quality cinnamon – delicate and aromatic from cinnamon farmer Ananda in Sri Lanka
Mill & Mortar only sells real cinnamon from Sri Lanka (Cinnamomum Zeylanicum) – simply because it tastes better. True cinnamon – great quality, great taste – has a sweet, warm taste and a delicate wafting aroma. All real cinnamon is hand-cut as opposed to Kassia cinnamon, which can be processed mechanically.
From the forest gardens of Develapola in Sri Lanka
Ginger is a root crop and ours is grown ecologically in the Develapola group in the Gampaha district of Sri Lanka.
Ginger has a warm, spicy and sweet aroma that, both fresh and dried, plays a vital role in Asian cuisine. At home, powdered ginger is often used in pastries, soups, marinades and smoothies. Chopped ginger is suitable for mixing with other spices and can be used as an alternative to fresh ginger.
