Supermarkets like Keells or Cargills sell sealed, brand-name spices. They are better quality and sealed for transit. Market spices are open-air and can lose flavor or be filled with dust.

The brand "Rajah" or "McCurrie" are the ones to look for in the supermarket. They are genuine, high-quality spice blends used by locals.
