Warm & Sweet
— Freshly Ground
Sweet, Warm
& Delicate
One Ingredient.
Zero Fillers.
Most "cinnamon" on shelves is actually cassia — a cheaper, harsher bark. Here's how we're different.
| From Byadgi (Ceylon) | Grocery Store (Cassia) | |
|---|---|---|
| Variety | Freshly ground — warm, sweet, complex aroma | Months old on the shelf — flat, dusty, no aroma |
| Who's Behind It | Our family — 40 years in the spice trade, direct from source | Imported through middlemen and distributors |
| Purity | Third-party lab tested every batch — we prove it | Rarely tested — you have to trust the label |
| What's Inside | One ingredient: Cinnamon. Nothing else. | May contain fillers, anti-caking agents, or blending |
| Pouch Size | 8oz (225g) — months of baking and cooking in one pouch | 1-2oz (30-60g) — gone in a week |
| Value | $10.67 per 100g — less than half the boutique price | $24-32 per 100g — for a fraction of the quantity |
We kept hearing the same thing from family and friends who'd moved abroad: "We can't find real spices anywhere." The grocery stores carried generic, stale products. The boutique spice brands charged $14 for a tiny jar. And nothing tasted like what they grew up with.
We're the Hadimani family — we've been in the spice business in Byadgi, Karnataka for over 40 years, running three retail shops and a wholesale network right from the source. We know spices. We know the land. We have the supply chain. So we asked ourselves: why not ship directly to the people who miss it most?
Every pouch is sourced directly from India, packed at a certified facility, third-party lab tested, and shipped straight to your kitchen. No importers, no middlemen, no blending. Just the real thing — the way your family always used it.
What our customers are saying
"These spices are so good and authentic. Specially loved the cinnamon, turmeric and red chilli powder."
"I appreciate that the spices are pure, with no artificial colors or additives, making them reliable for everyday cooking as well as special meals."
"The color the aroma and the flavor is so fresh that you can smell it as soon as you open the packet. These spices give the dish a whole new level of flavor and color."
"The fresh aroma and authentic taste remind me of my childhood days. Truly the best spices I've found outside of India."
Most cinnamon at the grocery store isn't Ceylon — it's cassia, a cheaper bark with a harsher, one-note flavor. Real Ceylon cinnamon costs more to source because it's a different species entirely, prized for its sweet, delicate complexity.
Our 225g pouch is 4–5× bigger than what boutique spice brands sell. At $10.67 per 100g, you're paying less than half what they charge for real Ceylon cinnamon.
Freshness and purity. Most grocery store cinnamon has been sitting in a warehouse for months before it even reaches the shelf — by the time you open it, the aroma is already fading. Ours is freshly ground, single-origin from India, and packed without fillers or additives. One ingredient: cinnamon. You'll notice the difference the moment you open the pouch.
Open the pouch and smell it. Fresh cinnamon has a warm, sweet, complex aroma that fills the room. Stale cinnamon smells flat, dusty, or barely smells at all. Colour is another clue — fresh cinnamon powder is a rich, warm brown. If it looks pale or grey, it's lost its potency.
Yes. Use ½ teaspoon of ground cinnamon for every one cinnamon stick your recipe calls for. Powder blends into batters, drinks, and sauces more easily. For slow-cooking dishes where you'd remove the stick later, you can still use powder — just add it earlier so the flavor infuses throughout.
Almost everything. Baking (cinnamon rolls, pie, cookies, banana bread), drinks (chai, golden milk, coffee, lattes, smoothies), breakfast (oatmeal, yogurt, French toast), savory dishes (curries, biryani, garam masala), and even sprinkled on fruit. The delicate sweetness works in both sweet and savory — it won't overpower anything.
Yes. Every batch is third-party lab tested for purity. One ingredient: Ceylon cinnamon. No fillers, no additives, no blending with cassia.
