Our Heritage

From Our Farms to Your Kitchen

Long before LAYAM had a name, it had a promise — spices the way they were meant to be. Sourced directly from Kerala's family-run farms, where the same soil has grown cardamom and pepper for generations.

Every batch is handpicked, sun-dried, and packed at peak freshness — because tradition isn't a marketing word to us. It's how we've always done it.

Kind words

Trusted in kitchens across India

We moved our tasting menu to LAYAM cardamom and guests noticed within a week. The lot numbering means I can reorder the exact profile.

Chef Devika Iyer — Amara, Mumbai

The hamper arrived in Gurugram wrapped like something from a maison — handwritten card, batch cards on every jar. My mother has reordered twice.

Rahul Menon — Gurugram

I have bought saffron in Mashhad and vanilla in Tahiti. This is the first Indian pepper I have found worth the same shelf.

Ann George — Kensington, London

The cinnamon crumbles under a spoon — actual Kerala bark, not cassia. I had almost given up finding it outside Kochi.

Priya Varma — Bandra, Mumbai

Ordered the Creator Package for a shoot. Batch cards, farm contacts, everything. It made the story write itself.

Nikhil Raj — Food writer, Bengaluru

Turmeric so gold it stains the spoon. Only note: I want a bigger tin for the curry leaf powder.

Good to Know

Questions, Answered

Everything you need to know about our spices, our sourcing, and getting LAYAM to your kitchen — wherever in the world that is.

Where are LAYAM spices sourced from?

Every LAYAM spice comes directly from family-run farms across Kerala, India — where cardamom, pepper, clove, and cinnamon have grown in the same red soil for generations. Each batch is handpicked, sun-dried the traditional way, and hand-sorted before packing.

Are LAYAM spices 100% pure, with no additives?

Yes. LAYAM spices contain no fillers, no anti-caking agents, and no artificial colouring — nothing but the spice itself. We are FSSAI licensed (No. 21525009001448) and pack every batch at peak freshness.

How should I store whole spices to keep them fresh?

Keep them in an airtight container, in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Whole spices retain their aroma far longer than pre-ground ones — grind small amounts as you need them for the freshest flavour.

Do you deliver across all of India?

Yes — doorstep delivery to every serviceable pincode in India: metros in 2–3 days, everywhere else in 4–6, same or next-day in Mumbai. Delivery is free on orders over ₹499.

How long does delivery take within India?

Delivery typically takes 2–6 business days from dispatch, with same or next-day delivery available in Mumbai and faster turnaround across metro cities. Enter your pincode on any product page to see the estimate for your exact address.

Do you offer bulk orders, gifting, or restaurant supply?

Yes. We supply restaurants, curate corporate and festive hampers, and offer bulk pricing. Write to layamenterprises@gmail.com or call +91 98673 54458 and we'll respond within 24 hours with pricing and customisation options.

What makes LAYAM different from supermarket spices?

Most shelf spices are mass-produced and blended for shelf life, not flavour. LAYAM is single-origin Kerala, whole rather than pre-ground, handpicked, and packed in small batches — so what reaches your kitchen still carries its full, natural aroma.
