Traditionally forest dwellers, they possess deep knowledge of wild plants, honey, herbs, and spices. Their spice-gathering practices are rooted in sustainability — they harvest only mature crops, leaving younger plants untouched to ensure forest regeneration. For generations, these tribes have traded their wild produce with neighboring communities like the Todas and Kurumbas, forming an interdependent ecosystem of sharing and survival. Today, TNTribalMart helps preserve this balance by connecting these forest communities to ethical markets. Every pack of Nilgiris Tribal Spices you purchase supports fair income, biodiversity protection, and tribal self-reliance — a true taste of nature’s legacy. ✨ From the forests of Nilgiris to your kitchen – Authentic.
