Premium Cumin Seeds from India's Largest Trading Hub
iGreen International is a leading cumin seeds exporter from India, sourcing directly from the renowned Unjha market in Gujarat — the world's largest cumin trading center. Our cumin seeds (jeera) are carefully selected from farms across Gujarat's arid regions, where the unique climate and soil conditions produce seeds with superior aroma, flavor, and volatile oil content.
Cumin (Cuminum cyminum) has been one of India's most prized spice exports for centuries. As a trusted jeera exporter from Gujarat, we supply bulk cumin seeds to food manufacturers, spice blenders, essential oil distillers, and pharmaceutical companies across more than 50 countries worldwide. Our deep-rooted relationships with farmers and cooperative societies in Unjha, Palanpur, and Mehsana ensure a consistent supply chain even during peak demand seasons.
What sets iGreen International apart as a cumin seeds supplier is our commitment to delivering consistent quality across every shipment. Each batch undergoes multi-stage cleaning, color sorting, and gravity separation at our state-of-the-art processing facility. We employ advanced sortex machines that remove discolored seeds, stones, and foreign matter to achieve purity levels up to 99.9%.
Our cumin seeds are available in multiple quality grades to suit different market requirements. The Singapore quality (99% purity) is ideal for general food processing and re-export markets. The Europe quality (99.5% purity) meets the stringent standards of EU importers, while our Bold grade (99.9% purity) is the premium choice for high-end retail and gourmet applications.
