FAQ

Products

Where do your products come from?

We source our ingredients from approved suppliers all over the world. Some products arrive with us by sea and some by road.

We work very closely with our suppliers when sourcing ingredients so we can be confident our products have come from a responsible supply chain (which means our suppliers are committed to fair social and environmental standards).

What’s different about your ingredients?

We believe there's no compromise when it comes to good quality products and we’re committed to offering our customers the finest quality ingredients that have been responsibly sourced from approved suppliers.

We take great care to select only the best quality products and our ingredients are always non-irradiated, GM free and do not contain any unnecessary additives (such as colourings). We don’t just stop there though as our suppliers go through a rigorous process for approval and are always certified to specific standards, so you can be confident the ingredients you buy have come from a responsible supply chain.

If you do find a cheaper product with another supplier, it may not be a direct comparison to ours so we would urge you to check the quality of the product rather than purchasing based on price alone. If you’d like to talk about a product you’ve found, pop an email over to our team via zFGblNHQqV3c0lmbnJXZklWZuR3cuM2buU3a

Are your ingredients Organic?

We offer a wide range of organic ingredients that have been certified by a UK body who audit our business annually to ensure our products and processes meet their standards. Our organic items can be recognised easily as they each have ‘organic’ in the product name. Though our other non-organic ingredients are not certified organic, we take great care to ensure these product comply with EU regulations on pesticides and MRLs (maximum residue levels). Where possible we also source wild crafted ingredients.

What does wild crafted mean?

Wild crafted refers to ingredients which have not been cultivated and have instead grown naturally before being harvested.

Why are your products packaged in plastic?

We’ve spent a long time researching alternative packaging types, but as yet are unable to find a compostable or biodegradable solution that is suitable for our product range. This is due to the shelf life of our ingredients (most commonly 24 months) which far outlives the life of any compostable or biodegradable materials.

Though made of plastic, our pouches are recyclable (code 4) and can be widely recycled with plastic carrier bags at supermarkets or waste recycling centres. We’re committed to becoming a more sustainable business and we will transition to alternative packaging solutions as improved materials become available.

Where can I find information on how to use your ingredients?

If you’re looking for inspiration on how to use our products, head over to our blog where you’ll find hundreds of recipes and tips for using our culinary and craft ingredients.

What is the percentage of Curcumin in your turmeric?

Curcumin is a naturally existing compound in turmeric and therefore the percentage of curcumin in turmeric products can vary from batch to batch. Our turmeric is 100% natural and does not undergo any processing to increase the naturally occurring level of curcumin.

For advice on the Curcumin content in our current turmeric batches please contact our team by emailing zFGblNHQqV3c0lmbnJXZklWZuR3cuM2buU3a
