Perhaps you have heard the famous proverb "caraway to Kerman". This sentence is rooted in a historical fact that introduces Kerman as the capital of Iran's spices and cumin. Kerman province with its special desert and mountainous climate is the cradle of medicinal and aromatic plants that cannot be found anywhere in the world. If you love to cook or are looking for original and medicinal flavors, knowing the best local spices of Kerman is the first step for you. But it is not an easy task to find the original and pure spice whose aroma leaves the senses. Here, we will not only introduce you to the wonderful world of Kerman spices, but we will introduce you to the most reliable source of these products, that is Khanum Barzang's spice house, so that you can take the fragrance of the desert home with ease.

Why Kerman spices are unique in the world?

Before introducing each spice, we should know why Kerman's best local spices are so famous. The geographical location of Kerman and the difference in altitude in its different regions (from the heat of Shahdad to the cold of Hezar and Lalezar mountains) have caused medicinal plants with the highest percentage of effective substances to grow in this soil. When it comes to buying spices, aroma, color and healing properties are the three main factors. The spices that are offered in Ms. Barzang's spice shop are hand-picked from these fields and pristine mountains.

The soil of Kerman is rich in minerals and the direct sunlight in addition to the dryness of the air makes plants produce more essence and oil to maintain moisture. This is the secret of the difference between Kerman cumin and cumin in other parts of the world. By buying from Mrs. Barzang's Spice House, you are actually buying the pure extract of Kerman's nature.

The king of spices: Kerman black cumin

It is impossible to talk about the best local spices of Kerman and the name of black cumin does not shine. Kerman black cumin, which is also known as "Kermani cumin", is the best type of cumin in the world. These black and small seeds have a very pungent and penetrating aroma that cannot be compared with any other spice.

Amazing properties of black cumin

Black cumin has a very hot and dry nature and is the best treatment for digestive problems, flatulence and body cold. Authentic Kermanis definitely use cumin in most of their dishes, especially with rice and puffed dishes. In Mrs. Barzang's Spice House, black cumin is available in two forms: whole seeds and powdered (freshly milled) to preserve its aroma until the moment of use.

Distinguishing original from counterfeit

Unfortunately, in the market, low-quality imported cumin is sold under the name of Kerman cumin. The original Kerman cumin has thinner, darker seeds and a much stronger aroma. When you crack a grain of it under your teeth, your mouth should immediately be full of aroma. Our experts at Mrs. Barzang's spice house guarantee that what you get is the pure cumin of Baft and Kohbanan mountains, which are among the best local spices in Kerman.

Quwat (Quwat); Energy bomb and health potion

Although Qavoot or "Qovuto" in the sweet dialect of Kermani, is included in the category of sweets, but its nature is a complex combination of spices, herbs and nuts. Qavot of Kerman is world famous and is one of the main souvenirs of this province. This brown and delicious powder is a combination of more than forty different plants.

Magical combinations of strength

In the preparation of original Qavoot, which is available in Mrs. Barzang's spice shop, ingredients such as coriander seeds, flax seeds, black seeds, cardamom, formal cardamom, anemone, sesame, and dozens of other medicinal plants are used. This combination works wonders for relieving fatigue, strengthening physical strength, calming nerves and strengthening memory.

All kinds of spices in Mrs. Barzang's spice shop

Strength is not just one type. You can get different types of it as part of the best local spices of Kerman:

The quality of the mill and the freshness of the raw materials are very effective in the taste of Qavoot. At Mrs. Barzang's spice shop, we are committed to prepare Qavot fresh and with the original formulation of Kermani grandmothers, so that you can taste the real taste of the best local spices in Kerman.

cumin; A regular seasoning in the kitchen

Next to black cumin, green cumin also has a special place among the best local spices of Kerman. This spice is mostly used in stews, soups and even curry spices. The vast fields of Kerman produce cumin, which has large and dense seeds.

The aroma of green cumin is milder than black cumin, but its properties are not inferior to those of its dark-colored brother. It is slimming, increases the body's metabolism and is a strong anti-flatulence. If you are looking for a spice that both makes food tasty and helps health, try the cumin found in Mrs. Barzang's spice house. We procure this product directly from exemplary farmers of the province so that middlemen are eliminated and price and quality are guaranteed.

saffron; Desert saffron

Another one of the best local spices of Kerman, which may be less known, is safflower. Saffron is a plant with yellow and orange flowers that has properties similar to saffron and has a special place in the local cuisine of Kerman. Kermanis use dried safflower petals to color rice and stew.

Although its aroma and taste is not exactly like saffron, it has a very beautiful color and excellent properties for the heart and blood vessels. Natural and cleaned saffron is offered at a much more reasonable price than saffron in Mrs. Barzang's Spice House and can be a good substitute or supplement for coloring your food. Using safflower along with other spices creates a combination of color and fragrance that colors your table.

Kermani thyme; The fragrance of the mountains

Thyme grows everywhere in Iran, but the mountain thyme of Kerman (known as broad-leaf thyme or Shirazi thyme, which is also abundant in the mountains of Kerman) has a different aroma. This plant is one of the main pillars of Kerman's best local spices for flavoring fast foods, yogurt and cucumbers, buttermilk and all kinds of salads.

The thyme in Khanum Barzang's Spice House is mountain and wild, not greenhouse. The difference between the two is in their fragrance. Mountain thyme has a pungent smell, with a small amount of it, the whole food is fragrant. Also, its antiseptic properties for colds and throat infections are unique.

Kerman stew spice (meat spice)

Have you ever wondered why Kermani stews (such as goat stew or Kermani ghee) have a different and delicious taste? Its secret is in the combination of special spices used by Kermani women. This spice is a precise combination of cumin, coriander seeds, black pepper, turmeric, cinnamon and some other local aromatic plants.

In Khanum Barzang Spice House, we have prepared this combination with a special formula. This spice, which is classified as one of the best local spices in Kerman, completely removes the smell of meat and gives a wonderful glaze and aroma to Iranian stews.
