Spices are where a buying agent earns their keep. Colour value, pungency, moisture, admixture and volatile oil content all move with the crop, the region and the drying method — and two consignments described by the same name can be entirely different goods.
We agree the grade in writing before an order is placed, buy from vendors who can actually meet it, and check the goods before they are packed.

Notes on this category
Sterilisation & treatment
Steam sterilisation and cleaning to reduce microbial load can be arranged where the destination market or your own customer requires it. Confirm the requirement with the enquiry so it is priced in from the start.
Packing
Jute or PP bags for bulk, multi-wall paper sacks for ground spices, and cartoned retail packs for private-label orders. Net weights and marks are set to your instruction.
Seasonality
Turmeric and chilli are harvested through the first quarter of the year; cumin and coriander through the spring. Pricing and availability move with those cycles, and we will tell you where in the cycle you are buying.
