ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Ganeriwala

Hello little one! So, a ganeriwala is a person who works in the spice trade industry in India. Now, spices are things like cinnamon, turmeric, and pepper that we use to add flavor to our food.

The ganeriwala's job is to travel around to different spice markets and buy different spices. They then bring the spices back to a warehouse where they sort them into different categories and package them up to be sold to people who want to use them in cooking.

It's kind of like how you go to the store with your mom and she buys different fruits and vegetables to bring home and cook with. The ganeriwala buys spices instead and sells them to people who want to cook with them.

It may seem like a simple job, but it's actually really important because spices are used all around the world and can be big business. Without the ganeriwalas, we wouldn't have the delicious flavors and aromas that spices bring to our food!
