Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: What are the different grades of Indian cumin powder?
A: Cumin powder quality is mainly determined by the seeds used. We source 'Europe Grade' (99% purity) and 'Singapore Grade' (99% purity) seeds for grinding. The final powder quality is measured by Volatile Oil content (1.5-3%) and Aflatoxin levels.
Q: What is Volatile Oil (VO) content and why is it important?
A: Volatile Oil dictates the strength of the cumin's aroma and flavor. A higher VO percentage (e.g., 2% - 3%) means a more potent, high-quality powder. We guarantee a specific VO content based on your order.
Q: Do you test for Aflatoxin?
A: Yes. This is a critical safety test, especially for cumin exported to Europe and Japan. We test every batch to ensure Aflatoxin levels are well within the strict limits set by the EU (EFSA) and other regulatory bodies.
Q: Can you provide Steam Sterilized (E-St.) cumin powder?
A: Yes. We can provide steam sterilized cumin powder to meet strict microbial standards (low TPC, yeast, mold) for markets like the EU, USA, and Japan. This process is chemical-free (no ETO).
Q: What is the main shipping port for cumin?
A: We primarily ship from Mundra Port (Gujarat), which is the largest and most strategically located port for exporting cumin from its main growing region in Unjha.
