Questions from Spice Blenders
Common questions from curry powder manufacturers and masala blend companies.
What turmeric percentage do you recommend for curry powder?
Most commercial curry powders contain 15-30% turmeric. The exact percentage depends on the flavor profile you're targeting and regional preferences. We can provide samples at different concentrations for your testing.
How do you ensure batch-to-batch consistency?
We source from our farms in Duggirala, Andhra Pradesh, and process in controlled conditions. Each batch is tested for curcumin content, color value, moisture, and particle size. We maintain stock from single harvests to ensure uniformity across your orders.
Can you match our existing turmeric supplier's specifications?
Yes. Send us your current specifications or a sample, and we'll match the curcumin content, color, mesh size, and flavor profile. We offer free samples for qualification testing.
What's the minimum order for private label packaging?
For retail-ready packs (100g-500g), the minimum is 500 units per SKU. For bulk 25kg bags with your branding, the minimum is 1 MT. No minimum for plain bags.
Do you offer blending services?
We specialize in pure turmeric, but we can connect you with trusted co-packers who blend our turmeric with other spices. Alternatively, we can supply turmeric in the exact form you need for your in-house blending.
How does your turmeric color compare to added colorants?
Our high-curcumin turmeric (5-7%) provides a natural golden-yellow color that rivals synthetic colorants. It's clean-label compliant and increasingly preferred by consumers seeking natural products. The color is stable in most applications up to 200°C.
