The value of Cumin is in its oil.
The Metrics: We source seeds from the Unjha belt which are famous for having high volatile oil (above 3%).
The Benefit: This ensures that when your customer opens the bag, they are hit with that distinct, powerful cumin scent.
Cumin grows near the soil and can carry bacteria.
The Solution: For premium buyers, we offer Steam Sterilized cargo which guarantees Low Bacteria Count and zero Salmonella.
The Benefit: This makes the cargo safe for direct consumption without cooking.
Global Cuisine: The key flavor in Mexican Tacos, Indian Curries, and Middle Eastern Falafel.
Essential Oil: Distilled to extract Cumin Oil for perfumes and flavorings.
Beverages: Roasted and crushed for traditional drinks like Jaljeera and Lassi.
Bakery: Sprinkled on top of savory biscuits and breads.
Cumin is highly sensitive to moisture.
The Solution: We strictly use HDPE Liners inside the jute or PP bags to prevent the seeds from turning black during the sea voyage.
The Benefit: We optimize loading to safely fit 13 to 14 MT in a 20ft container, securing the best layout and cargo economy.
