Key commercial information for international importers, food distributors, and procurement managers.
What is the difference between FAQ and ASTA grades for black pepper?
FAQ (Fair Average Quality) black pepper is sun-dried and sieved to standard commercial cleanliness with an admixture tolerance typically up to 1.0%. ASTA (American Spice Trade Association) grade undergoes advanced spiral cleaning and destoning to achieve high purity (admixture max 0.2%–0.5%), uniform dark color, and higher bulk density (550 g/l to 570 g/l), meeting strict European and North American import requirements.
How is quality and curcumin content verified for Indian Turmeric and Alleppey Cardamom?
Indian Turmeric fingers and powder are tested for curcumin percentage (typically 3.0% to 5.0%+ for commercial and high-curcumin Salem varieties), moisture content (max 10%–12%), and absence of artificial coloring (Sudan dyes). Alleppey Green Cardamom is graded strictly by millimeter screen size (7mm, 7.5mm, 8mm+ extra bold) and bulk density, accompanied by independent third-party laboratory analysis (SGS, Eurofins).
What are the packaging options and container capacities for spice exports?
Black pepper is packed in 25 kg or 50 kg multi-ply paper or polypropylene bags (20ft FCL holds approx. 15 to 16 MT for pepper, or up to 18 MT for turmeric fingers). Green cardamom is packed in 5 kg, 10 kg, or 25 kg vacuum-sealed pouches within master cartons with desiccants to preserve delicate essential oils and vibrant green color.
