Sa Spices & Food Products

You can find Sa Spices & Food Products right near the Bon Hooghly School Ground. It’s actually a nice spot because you can hear the kids playing during their breaks, which livens things up a bit. We are close to the post office in Narendrapur, so there is always people moving back and forth on the street. Our building isn't anything special to look at, but the smell inside is something else. Once we start grinding the turmeric or the chilies, the scent carries all the way down the block. It can make you sneeze if you aren't used to it, to be honest. We spend a lot of time cleaning the raw spices and making sure there aren't any stones mixed in. It’s tedious work, sitting there and sorting through everything by hand, but it’s the only way we know how to do it right. The staff here are mostly local people from around Bon Hooghly who have been with us since we started. We don't have a big corporate structure. If something needs doing, someone just grabs a broom or a bag and does it. We sell to the local shops and sometimes to neighbors who just walk in because they ran out of something in their kitchen. It’s a busy little place, full of bags and scales and the constant hum of the grinder. We just try to keep things moving and stay out of the rain.
