Frequently Asked Questions

Good to know

Are your pickles really made by hand?+

Yes. Every step — sourcing, cutting, salting, sun-curing, mixing, jarring and labelling — is done by our family in our village kitchen. We never outsource production.

Do you use any preservatives or artificial colours?+

No. We rely on salt, cold-pressed oil and sunlight — the way pickles have been preserved in India for centuries.

Where do you ship?+

We currently ship across India. Free shipping on orders above ₹999. Flat ₹60 shipping otherwise.

How long do your pickles last?+

It varies by recipe — typically 6 to 12 months. Always use a clean, dry spoon. Refrigeration extends the shelf life.

Can I place an order on WhatsApp?+

Absolutely — tap the WhatsApp button anywhere on the site and we'll take care of you personally.

Do you accept bulk / wedding orders?+

Yes! Please reach out via WhatsApp or the contact form with your requirement and we'll send a custom quote.

Can I return a jar if I don't like it?+

Because pickles are perishable food, we cannot accept returns. If anything is damaged in transit, send us a photo on WhatsApp within 48 hours and we'll make it right.
