Seed spices for export
Cumin, fennel, coriander and other seed spices from Unjha
Six whole seed spices and two powders, each offered in the grades export buyers ask for. Figures below are typical specifications; the final specification is agreed in your contract.
Grades we pack
Grade names follow the Unjha trade: “Singapore” and “Europe” quality cumin differ mainly in purity and foreign matter. If you buy against your own specification, send it with the enquiry and we match lots to it before quoting.

Ground spices
Cumin powder and coriander powder are ground to order from cleaned seed, so the lot number on the bag still leads back to the seed lot. Mesh size and pack are agreed with you.
Seasons to plan around
- Cumin: new crop arrives February to April
- Fennel and coriander: February to April
- Fenugreek, ajwain and dill: March to May
- Off-season orders ship from stored, re-cleaned stock
