Kerala is known as the “land of spices”, with records of the ancient spice trade dating back 3000 years.

Kerala is a foodie's paradise, offering a dazzling array of aromatic spices and the freshest seafood. The cuisine is characterized by its use of rice, coconut, and spices such as cardamom, cloves, and cinnamon. Avial, Fish Curry, and Appam are staples, while Sadya, a feast served on banana leaves, is served during the festive season. Desserts, like Payasam and Pazham Pori, offer a sweet finale to this delicious experience.
