“Food brings people together on many different levels. It’s the nourishment of the soul and body; it’s true love."
– Giada De Laurentiis
In our everyday life, our meals consists of numerous ingredients that we are usually not aware of in terms of their flavour profile or origin. Have you ever stopped to think where the food you eat originates from? Our lack of awareness of the food we put in our body means these factors alter the flavour and quality of our food, which in turn could lead us to eat food that could be harmful to health..
Have you stopped to read the back label of your food packaging? You might not be aware whether you are having natural or artificial ingredients. Allow us to introduce you to the concept of single-origin food, a way of knowing where your food comes from; a way for natural food becoming a regular part of everyday diet!
What are Single-Origin products?
Single-origin products are, by definition, those created from just one farm or a particular source that you can trace the origins of.
Wine, whisky, and cattle are just a few examples of foods and drinks that have long been celebrated in their native regions. Single-origin claims take things a step further by recognising the producer's connection to a farm or community. As a result, it honours not only particular farming areas but also farmers themselves and the type of work they conduct.
Farmers usually plant heirloom or native varieties of seeds because they wish to keep those breed alive. It also ensures the produce thrives because it is native to that land.
The Single Origin food focus is on directly linking nearby farms to the world market without the need for any intermediaries.
How the Natural Spice Trade Operates
Farmers typically sell their spice harvests to a middleman, who in turn trades them further to large-scale traders or manufacturers who then bring the products to you.
Consumers ultimately receive a dated, subpar product. Alongside the farmers are also deprived of their due share.
Upholding the values, developing alongside the farmers, and treating them fairly to get all-natural and farm-fresh produce across to the customers is the prime objective of Kaaram!
We strive to provide you with the best products possible, but we also want to change how we interact with our food. We want to demonstrate how ethical principles and palate compatibility are possible!
