Our Story

Nand’s Spice Range was created from a shared love of cooking, culture, and wellbeing.

Founded by husband-and-wife team Raj Singh and Jenny Nand, the range began with a treasured family recipe passed down through their grandmother in 1912. What started as blending spices at home has grown into a small-batch, sun-dried spice range crafted with care in Hamilton, New Zealand.

Why Nand’s Spice Range Exists

Nand’s Spice Range was created to solve the everyday struggle of bland, uninspired cooking.

Raj and Jenny wanted to make it easier for people to create flavourful meals at home without complicated recipes or expert skills. Their blends are designed to do the heavy lifting, delivering bold, honest flavour while keeping cooking simple and accessible.

Beyond taste, the range reconnects people with the flavours of heritage, offering comfort, grounding, and a sense of connection in every dish.
