India

'From the Himalayan foothills, where ancient rivers nourish fertile plains of wheat and basmati rice, to the rolling tea gardens of Assam and Darjeeling that have defined the world’s taste for centuries, every region offers its own abundance.

The tropical south yields fragrant spices - cardamom, pepper, and turmeric - while the fertile Deccan plateau produces cotton and pulses that sustain millions. Along its vast coastline, the Arabian Sea and Bay of Bengal bring in daily harvests of fish, prawns, and crabs, sustaining coastal communities with traditions as old as the tides. Beneath the earth lie diamonds, iron ore, and rare minerals, resources that have drawn global attention since antiquity. Coconut groves, mango orchards, and sandalwood forests enrich the cultural and economic landscape, while Ayurveda’s herbs and botanicals carry forward India’s enduring connection between nature, health, and tradition.'
