[email protected]Which Indian spices are best to import?
Black pepper and cardamom from Kerala, chillies from Guntur, turmeric from Erode, and cumin from Gujarat and Rajasthan are among India's best-known spice exports.
Do Indian spices meet EU standards?
Export-grade spices are cleaned, often steam-sterilised and tested for residues. Ask for accredited lab reports for each lot.
What does GI mean for Darjeeling tea?
Darjeeling Tea is GI-registered, so only tea grown and processed in the defined Darjeeling area can carry the name.
