The spice has a unique, rather earthy flavor to Georgian cuisine, in which it is considered especially compatible with cinnamon and cloves. It is also a essential ingredient in the spice mixture khmeli-suneli, which is to Georgian cookery what garam masala is to the cookery of North India, with which Georgia shares elements of the Mughlai cuisine.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"RESTORATION SEEDS","offers":[{"title":"50 Seeds","offer_id":34093981970,"sku":"15288","price":4.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 Ounce","offer_id":34093982034,"sku":"15289","price":12.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1\/4 Pound","offer_id":34093982098,"sku":"15290","price":26.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0129\/8922\/products\/Sparky-Mix_French-Marigold-paula_2028b661-aa10-4cea-b25a-d135dbfd8064.jpg?v=1496959795","url":"https:\/\/www.restorationseeds.mom\/products\/sparky-mix-marigold-patula","provider":"RESTORATION SEEDS","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
