Authentic Kerala Spices
A Global Journey
History of kerala spices
Kerala, often called the “Spice Garden of India,” has a rich history deeply connected with the global spice trade. For centuries, its Malabar coast was renowned for precious spices such as black pepper, cardamom, cinnamon, ginger, and turmeric, attracting traders from Arabia, China, and Europe. In 1498, Portuguese explorer Vasco da Gama arrived at Kappad, near Kozhikode, marking a historic turning point in the European search for India’s spices. His voyage opened a new maritime route between Europe and India and transformed global spice trade. Today, Kerala continues this remarkable legacy, sharing its authentic, high-quality spices with markets across the world
