Jakhya (Cleome viscosa) grows well in the clear valleys of Uttarakhand. For years, the Garhwali community has kept this rare seed a secret in their kitchens. We at Bitepep have worked out how to use this fantastic spice to its fullest potential, making its rich flavor and great health benefits available to chefs and health-conscious individuals all around the world.
What makes Jakhya so special is that it has a nutty warmth and a sharp, stinging smell that no other food has. It smells like mustard seeds with a wasabi-like sharpness that lasts a long time when it is tempered in oil. New research at the CSIR-National Botanical Research Institute shows that Jakhya includes a lot of glucosinolates. Clinical tests have shown that these compounds can help detoxify the body and keep cells healthy. It also provides omega-3 fatty acids, which are not very common in other spices.
Our method of sourcing in a way that is good for the environment ensures that every batch meets the highest standards. Mountain farmers pick it by hand at the correct time, dry it in the sun on ancient stone slabs to conserve its volatile oils, and test it for purity and strength. Food business owners are learning how useful Jakhya is. It adds umami flavor to plant-based foods, helps gourmet snacks taste better, and is a key ingredient of Ayurvedic healing formulae.
Bitepep sells Jakhya in whole seed and quality powder forms, and they also provide full lab certifications and documentation for exporting. This is for people who seek real Himalayan spices that are healthy for your health and can be traced back to their source.
