Spices have shaped civilisations, driven trade routes, and transformed cuisines across every continent. Today, the global spice market is worth billions — and the demand for authentic, high-quality culinary spices has never been stronger.

At Ausmart Hub Global, spices are one of our core export categories. We source from the finest growing regions in the world and ship to buyers across the Middle East, Europe, Africa, and Asia. In this article, we celebrate the five most celebrated spices in our export portfolio — and explain what makes each one so special.

01 — Turmeric: The Golden Spice

Turmeric is arguably the most well-known spice in the world right now. Its active compound, curcumin, has been the subject of thousands of scientific studies. But beyond wellness, turmeric is a culinary essential — giving curries, rice dishes, and sauces their signature golden colour and warm, earthy depth.

Ausmart exports premium turmeric fingers and turmeric powder — both tested for curcumin content (minimum 3.5%), colour value, and moisture. We supply to food manufacturers, spice blending companies, and wholesale distributors who need consistent colour and aroma across large volumes.

Key export markets: UAE, Saudi Arabia, UK, Germany, Australia, Singapore

02 — Cumin: The Backbone of Global Cuisine

From Middle Eastern falafel to Mexican tacos and South Asian biryanis — cumin is perhaps the most universally used spice on the planet. Its warm, slightly bitter, and nutty flavour profile makes it irreplaceable in hundreds of regional cuisines.

Our cumin is sourced from the premium growing belts and processed to retain its essential oils — the key to aroma and flavour intensity. We export both whole cumin seeds and ground cumin, in quantities from 1 metric tonne to full container loads.

“The aroma of Ausmart’s cumin is consistently excellent — it’s exactly what our spice blending operations require.” — Procurement Manager, Singapore

03 — Red Chilli: Fire and Flavour

Chilli is the most consumed spice in the world by volume. From the smoky depth of kashmiri chilli to the intense heat of cayenne — different varieties serve entirely different culinary purposes. Ausmart exports a range of red chilli varieties, each characterised by its heat level (Scoville rating), colour value (ASTA), and moisture content.

We supply:

• Kashmiri chilli — deep red, low heat, high colour value (ideal for curries and sauces)
• Byadgi chilli — wrinkled skin, mild heat, rich red pigment
• Teja chilli — small, very high heat, popular in Asian markets
• Ground red chilli powder — in various heat grades to specification

Every batch is tested for aflatoxin, microbial safety, and colour value before dispatch.

04 — Cardamom: The Queen of Spices

Cardamom is one of the most prized spices in the world — and one of the most expensive by weight. Its complex aroma — floral, citrusy, and slightly minty — makes it indispensable in chai, Arabic coffee (qahwa), Scandinavian baked goods, and an enormous variety of Middle Eastern and South Asian desserts.

We export green cardamom (whole pods and seeds) and black cardamom. Our green cardamom is graded by pod size, colour intensity, and oil content — with premium grades supplied to luxury food manufacturers and high-end spice retailers.

Key export markets: UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, UK, USA, Germany

05 — Coriander: The Versatile Essential

Coriander seeds and ground coriander are among the most widely used spices in global food manufacturing. From spice blends and curry powders to marinades, sauces, and pickles — coriander adds a warm, citrusy depth that is difficult to replicate.

Ausmart exports coriander seeds (whole and split), coriander powder, and coriander essential oil. We work with food manufacturers who require consistent oil content, low foreign matter, and reliable supply — offering contracted pricing for high-volume buyers.
