Quality in foodstuffs has to
deliver on three main parameters
and those are purity freshness and hygiene.
PROCESSING
Processing of spices includes:
CLEANING
We clean the crop before processing. The first stage is to remove dust and dirt by using destoners and vibrators. After cleaning if required roasting process is done to maintain moisture content of the raw material.
GRADING
Spices are graded by size, density, colour, shape and flavour.
GRINDING
Grinding is done by powered grinding mills after ensuring the quality of the raw material. We have different types of grinding mills for different products. We placed the grinding mills in a separate and well-ventilated room keeping it safe from dust. Utmost care is given to ensure uniform sized pieces/powders is extracted after grinding without any damage to the spices caused by heating during grinding.
PACKAGING
We understand the importance of packaging and preservation of our products. We are equipped with sophisticated equipment and packaging facilities to prevent our product from spoilage and preserve their freshness, colour, taste and aroma. Our packaging preference depends on type of spice whether it is ground or intact and the humidity of the air.
