Directly sourced from organic farms near Bengaluru in India, our powder comes from locally grown tomatoes that are sun-dried to perfection. Made from the "naati" variety, which translates to "local," these little gems are cultivated along with many other fruits and vegetables and then sold to a Farmer Producers Organization (FPO) daily. To make our powder, the tomatoes are sun dried from March through May when the weather is low in humidity and hot (90°F or more). With all the bright, complex acidity of tomatoes in a concentrated form, you can incorporate this powder into spice rubs or sprinkle it over roasted veggies, chicken and fish.
Tip: When you only need a small amount of tomato paste, combine equal parts tomato powder and hot water.

FAQ
How old are these spices?
We purchase what we need every year right after the spices are harvested. These spices are as fresh as you can get. They are not sitting in a warehouse for multiple years. The oldest spices we carry will be one year old compared to the commodity market which warehouses spices for 10+ years before selling them to you.
Are these spices certified organic?
Unfortunately we do not have any certifications at this time but most of our spices are organically grown and all of them are non gmo. Each ingredient can be traced back to its origin. Email support@spicetribe.com for any questions.
