Product overview
What you should know before you buy.
Unjha in Gujarat is the largest cumin market in the world, and buying at the yard during arrival season is the only reliable way to control purity and price. Cumin is graded by purity percentage — Europe generally buys 99% and 99.5% sortex, while singapore-quality and machine-clean grades serve bulk grinding and repacking markets.
Our lots are gravity separated, destoned, magnet-passed and optically sorted. Volatile oil, which carries the aroma, is checked lot by lot rather than assumed, and we can supply steam-sterilised cumin or milled powder where microbiology limits are tight.
