R&B International is a premier supplier of high-grade Indian Cumin Seeds, sourced directly from the "Cumin Hub" of Unjha and the arid plains of Rajasthan. Our cumin is prized for its "Bold" grain size and a deep, earthy fragrance that provides the foundation for curries, spice blends, and artisanal breads across five continents.
Why R&B International Cumin is the Industry Standard:
High Essential Oil Profile: We source cumin with a high percentage of Cuminaldehyde, the chemical compound responsible for its signature aroma and medicinal properties. This ensures a more potent flavor, allowing food processors to use less while achieving a richer taste profile.
State-of-the-Art Sortex Cleaning: Our seeds undergo a multi-stage cleaning process involving de-stoning, gravity separation, and high-resolution Optical Sorting. This ensures the total absence of dust, stalks, stones, or discolored seeds.
Strict IPM/Pesticide Compliance: At R&B International, we specialize in IPM (Integrated Pest Management) cumin. Every batch is tested in NABL-accredited labs to ensure it meets the stringent European Union and US-FDA standards for pesticide residues and aflatoxins.
Authentic Color & Texture: Our cumin retains its natural olive-green/grayish-brown hue, a sign of proper drying and storage. We do not use any artificial coloring or polishing agents.
From the world's most famous spice markets to the manufacturing plants of international snack brands, R&B International delivers the concentrated warmth and aroma of the finest Indian cumin.
The "Unjha" Benchmark: When negotiating with international buyers, always reference that your product is sourced from or processed near Unjha, Gujarat. Unjha is the world's largest marketplace for cumin and serves as the global price and quality benchmark. Mentioning "Unjha Quality" immediately signals to the buyer that you are providing the highest standard of cumin available in the market.
