Introduction

When we think of spices, we often picture vibrant colors, aromatic profiles, and flavorful additions to our favorite dishes. But behind the intense flavors and rich heritage of Indian spices lies an intricate and scientific manufacturing process that transforms raw agricultural ingredients into globally acclaimed culinary essentials.

At the heart of this transformation is Sheth Brothers, a legacy-driven Indian spice manufacturer and exporter renowned for precision, consistency, and quality.

From Farm to Factory: It Begins with Sourcing

The journey begins with sourcing high-quality raw materials from trusted farms across India. India's diverse agro-climatic zones provide the perfect environment for cultivating a variety of spices—from chili and turmeric to cumin and coriander.

Sheth Brothers works closely with local farmers and procurement agents to ensure that only the best and most potent raw materials make it to their processing facility. This not only supports the local economy but also ensures a traceable and sustainable supply chain.

Advanced Manufacturing Unit: Where Tradition Meets Technology

Located in Gujarat, the Sheth Brothers manufacturing unit is a testament to modern processing excellence. Equipped with cutting-edge roasting machines, grinding units, and gyro separators, the facility ensures consistency in flavor, color, and aroma—batch after batch.

Here’s where science truly begins to shine:

  • Roasting Technology: Enhances aroma, reduces microbial load, and controls moisture to improve shelf life.
  • Gyro Separator Cleaning: Ensures the final product is dust-free, enhancing visual appeal and safety.
  • Grinding and Milling: Fine-tuned machines ensure precise granulation, whether it's powdered spices, whole spices, or custom chili flake cuts for bottling.
  • Moisture Control: Achieved through roasting and drying techniques that align with client specifications.

Every step is monitored and documented, creating a reliable and export-compliant product ready for global markets.

Quality Control: Where Science Secures Safety

Food safety is paramount. The Sheth Brothers team performs rigorous lab testing for:

  • Microbial Contaminants
  • Heavy Metals and Aflatoxins
  • Moisture Content
  • Color and Oil Volatility

By adhering to international food safety standards such as FSSAI, HACCP, and ISO benchmarks, Sheth Brothers assures clients—both domestic and international—of world-class quality.

Customized for Global Tastes

One of Sheth Brothers’ key strengths is product customization. Whether a client requires low-moisture chili flakes for bottling, aromatic spice blends, or specific cut sizes for herbs like oregano, the company’s R&D and production teams deliver tailor-made solutions.

This ability to offer client-specific formulations has made Sheth Brothers a preferred partner in the B2B spice exports industry, especially in regions like the Middle East, Europe, and the USA.

Research & Industry Insights from India

According to a report by ASSOCHAM and MRSS India, the Indian spices market is expected to reach USD 18 billion by 2025, fueled by rising global demand and increased health consciousness.

Technological advancements in spice sterilization, cold grinding, and packaging—areas where Sheth Brothers continually invests—are reshaping the industry’s future.

Additionally, government support through Spice Board India and APEDA has made it easier for exporters like Sheth Brothers to expand into new markets, maintaining competitive edge through quality and compliance.

Sustainability and Hygiene: Not Just Buzzwords

Sheth Brothers prioritizes eco-conscious manufacturing and hygienic handling. The unit follows Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) with a dedicated hygiene zone and stainless-steel contact equipment to avoid contamination.

They’ve also implemented moisture-reducing roasting, which extends shelf life naturally—minimizing the need for synthetic preservatives.
