FAQ
Everything you need to know about cooking with our spices from Madagascar
It’s best to start with a small pinch and adjust to taste. Our spices are highly concentrated in aroma—often, a small amount is enough to transform a dish.
Kaffir lime is extremely potent. For a dish serving four, one to two pinches are usually enough to add its unique lemony, exotic note without overpowering the other flavors.
Yes—Madagascar bird’s eye chili (pili-pili) is known for its sharp, intense heat. We recommend adding it gradually to your sauces or slow-cooked dishes so you can control the chili’s strength.
To preserve their full aromatic intensity, store your spices in their original containers, tightly sealed, away from light, heat, and moisture.
