Nolen gur · Baharu, South 24 Parganas
Before dawn, up the date palm
In Baharu, the tappers (shiulis) are already at work before dawn. They cut the date palm, collect the sap that dripped overnight into earthen pots, and boil it over a fire until it becomes nolen gur, and GHURTE JABO filmed every step from tree to jaggery. It is a winter-only craft, and the sap has to be cooked the same morning.

Sandesh · Kolkata
Fresh chhena, kneaded by hand
Sandesh starts with fresh chhena, which the karigar kneads by hand with sugar or nolen gur, cooks lightly and presses into moulds, as WildFilmsIndia filmed in Kolkata. It is a sweet made for pujas and festivals.

Cashew paste, a giant kadhai, and a halwai who never stops stirring
At Hiralal Halwai in Shahdara, Delhi, kaju katli is made in huge batches: cashew paste is cooked down in a wide kadhai and worked by hand until it can be rolled thin and cut into diamonds. The same halwai craft, with roasted besan and ghee instead of cashew, gives the besan laddoo in your box.

Almonds (Kashmir) · Newa, Pulwama, Kashmir
The almond harvest still begins with a stick and a tarpaulin
In Newa, Pulwama, almonds are still harvested by hand: families beat the branches with sticks and catch the nuts on tarpaulins spread beneath the trees. Only then do machines strip away the green outer cover, as Kashmir Life's film shows.

Cashews (processing) · Andhra Pradesh / India
Every white cashew passed through a worker's hands
Before a cashew turns white and crunchy it is roasted, shelled and peeled, much of it by hand, and BBC Telugu follows how tonnes of raw nuts are processed every day in Andhra Pradesh. France 24 reports that this work, done largely by women, is often painful, because the shell oil burns the skin.
