🏔️ From the Sacred Peaks of India - Banasura's Smoky Mountain Magic

Journey to the mystical Western Ghats of India, where the legendary Banasura pepper grows wild on sacred mountain slopes, then gets transformed through ancient smoking techniques into one of the world's most extraordinary spices.

Smoked Banasura pepper isn't just another exotic spice - it's a spiritual journey through India's spice heritage. Named after the mythical demon king Banasura from Hindu legends, these peppers grow in the pristine mountain air of Kerala's Western Ghats, then undergo traditional smoking over aromatic woods that infuses them with deep, complex flavors that have captivated spice lovers for centuries.

✨ The Legend of Banasura

According to ancient Hindu mythology, Banasura was a powerful demon king who ruled these very mountains. Today, the peppers that bear his name carry that same legendary intensity - small but mighty, with a heat that builds slowly and a smoky complexity that reveals new layers with every taste. The traditional smoking process uses indigenous woods that add mystical depth to an already extraordinary pepper.
