From the Remote Mountains of Ladakh

Known locally as Skotse, these wild Himalayan chives grow naturally in the high-altitude regions of Ladakh, where the air is pure, the soil is mineral-rich, and nature dictates the pace of life.

Unlike commercial chives, this is a traditional mountain herb, harvested the way it has been for generations.

🏔️ A Herb Gathered From the Wild

During the short Himalayan summer, local farmers trek deep into the mountains to collect these aromatic leaves by hand. Growing in remote alpine terrain, the plant develops a distinct garlic-like aroma that makes it a prized ingredient in traditional Ladakhi cooking.

This is not farmed produce — it is wild-grown, seasonal, and rare.

☀️ Preserved the Traditional Way

After harvesting:

• Leaves are gently crushed
• Formed into traditional circular herb cakes
• Naturally sun-dried in mountain air
• Stored for winter use — just like Himalayan households do

No machines. No chemicals. No artificial drying.
