The Masala You Use Daily Shouldn’t Be a Mystery.
Walk into any supermarket and you’ll find shelves lined with colourful masala packets — "instant", "premium", "grandmother’s secret recipe", and more.
But flip the pack and read the fine print.
What you might find is a mix of:
- Anti-caking agents
- Acid regulators
- Preservatives
- Artificial colours
- Spice Extracts instead of actual spices
What’s Really Inside Mass-Produced Masalas?
Many large-scale brands use fillers and chemical additives to increase shelf life, reduce cost, and improve appearance. Here’s what that means:
Common Additives Found:
- Silicon dioxide / talc – prevents clumping
- Citric acid or synthetic vinegar – for tangy flavour
- Starch / powdered husk – added as bulk fillers
- Artificial colours – to make the powder look “freshly roasted”
- MSG – to enhance taste in non-veg masalas or gravies
These may be permitted by food safety standards, but when used over years — and across multiple products — they can strain the gut, liver, and hormonal systems.
Why Homemade Masalas (Like Girani’s) Are Different
Homemade masalas are rooted in simplicity. They follow a straightforward process:
- Select high-quality whole spices
- Sun-dry or dry-roast them as per tradition
- Stone-grind or cold-grind to preserve oils
- Blend only the ingredients required — no shortcuts
And that’s exactly what Girani brings to your kitchen.
We don’t pre-grind and store in bulk. Instead, we:
- Roast only after you place an order
- Grind fresh — using no preservatives, fillers, or MSG
- Deliver spices that are clean, potent, and pure
Homemade Masalas Are Smarter Long-Term
Here’s why choosing fresh-ground blends matters:
| Store-Bought Masala | Homemade / Girani-Style Masala |
|---|---|
| Shelf-life of 6–12 months | Made fresh, best used within 45 days |
| Contains anti-caking agents | No additives — just real ingredients |
| Mass-produced in bulk | Small-batch roasted after you order |
| One-flavour-fits-all | Can be customized to your taste |
| May lose aroma in 2 weeks | Packed fresh to retain full flavour |
- Better digestion
- Stronger immunity
- More nutrient absorption
- Fewer allergies and chemical sensitivities
Spice Like Our Elders Did — Clean, Honest, Powerful
Our grandmothers didn’t use stabilizers or enhancers. They trusted the spice itself — its aroma, texture, and how it felt on the tongue.
Homemade masalas carry the energy of that intention and care — and that’s something no factory blend can match.
