How do whole spices or freshly ground spices compare in health benefits to powdered spices produced at scale?

Whole spices retain more of their natural oils and compounds compared to pre-ground, mass-produced spices. These oils and compounds are where many of the health benefits of spices come from! When spices are ground and sit on shelves for extended periods, they may lose some of these beneficial compounds due to exposure to air, light, and moisture. Furthermore, mass-produced powdered spices sometimes have additives or are diluted, which can further diminish their health benefits. Choosing whole spices or freshly ground spices from Zaycca ensures you're getting the purest, most beneficial form of the spice. It's nature's goodness, uncompromised!
