Masala is the Indian term for a blend of spices. It can be any simple or complex combination. \u00a0I grind fresh seeds in a coffee grinder and place in a shaker bottle marked “Andrea’s Spice Mix.”\u00a0 The spices I use have been proven to possess therapeutic and healing properties. Spices and herbs contain antioxidants, minerals and multivitamins. Because spices are nutrient dense, they are thermogenic, which means they naturally increase your metabolism. Centuries old eastern medicine and now recent studies and scientific research both boast the medicinal healing benefits of spices<\/a>.
