Cumin Powder

Cumin powder is one of the most important and widely traded spices in the world, recognised for its warm, earthy, and slightly nutty flavour profile. Ground from dried cumin seeds (Cuminum cyminum), it is a staple in Indian, Middle Eastern, Latin American, and North African cuisines and a key ingredient in masala blends, curry powders, and seasoning mixes for food manufacturers globally.

Geodhara International sources premium cumin seeds through our established supplier network in India. The seeds are machine-cleaned, dried to optimal moisture, and finely ground into consistent powder available in multiple mesh sizes. Each batch meets stringent quality benchmarks including low aflatoxin levels, consistent volatile oil content, and clean microbiology for safe, export-grade supply.

We serve food manufacturers, spice processors, wholesalers, and importers across the Middle East, Southeast Asia, Europe, Africa, and the Americas with bulk supply, competitive pricing, and full export documentation.

FAQs

What is the volatile oil content of your cumin powder?

Our cumin powder carries a minimum 2% volatile oil, some being lost in grinding, which still gives a strong earthy aroma. Detailed test certificates are provided with every shipment.

What is the difference between Singapore grade and Europe grade cumin powder?

Singapore grade and Europe grade differ primarily in purity levels, ash content, and volatile oil specifications. Europe grade typically has stricter limits on extraneous matter and higher volatile oil requirements. We can supply either grade based on your market needs.

What mesh sizes are available for cumin powder?

We offer cumin powder in 40 mesh, 60 mesh, and 80 mesh. Custom mesh sizes can be arranged for bulk orders based on your processing requirements.

What packaging options are available?

We offer 25 kg and 50 kg PP bags, jute bags, cartons, and custom private-label packaging to suit your market requirements.

What export documentation do you provide?

We provide complete export documentation including phytosanitary certificate, certificate of origin, fumigation certificate, NABL lab test reports, and shipping documents.
