Gaanhars

Gaanhars are traditional Indian food storage containers made from clay. They are crafted by shaping and firing clay to create porous vessels that help keep food fresh naturally. Their porous nature allows excess moisture to evaporate, which preserves items like pickles, spices, and grains without the need for refrigeration. Gaanhars are eco-friendly, affordable, and enhance the flavor of stored food with natural mineral leaching. They are often decorated with traditional designs and are an integral part of cultural heritage, symbolizing sustainable living and artisanal craftsmanship.
