What is the difference between heat-treated and non-heat-treated spices?
Heat-treated spices undergo a controlled thermal process to reduce microbial load for high-risk or ready-to-eat applications. Non-heat-treated spices retain more natural aroma and are suitable for products that will be cooked during manufacturing. All spices follow EU and UK safety standards. Microbiological, chemical, and sensory checks are performed on every batch, and COAs are available. We supply both heat-treated and non-heat-treated spices.
Do you know how much spice does every person in the UK consume every year?
In 2024, the UK’s spice market reached an estimated 91 000 tonnes and growing. With a UK population of roughly 69–70 million, that works out to about 1.3 kg of spices per person per year — a yearly “spice allowance” that covers everything from pepper on your dinner to curry powders and dried herbs. That figure shows just how integral spices are across homes, restaurants, and food-industry kitchens in the UK. It also underlines a big opportunity for food producers, spice suppliers, and retailers: there’s a substantial, consistent demand — and a wide market for high-quality spices, blends or private-label seasoning solutions.
What is the size of the global spices and seasonings markets?
Global market growth is huge — and accelerating. The global spices & seasonings market was worth about USD 26.5 billion in 2024, and it’s projected to grow to over USD 53.5 billion by 2034. This reflects strong rising demand worldwide as cuisines globalise, consumers seek bold flavours, and food producers expand seasoning rich products.
Which spices dominate the UK market?
Curry powder and spice blends dominate the UK market. Pre-mixed seasoning blends represent about 40% of the UK’s total spice retail market, as consumers prefer convenience without compromising flavour.
When was the first seasoning blend created?
Archaeological residues found in Nordic cooking pots show that ancient cooks seasoned fish stews with a mixture of garlic mustard seeds and herbs. That means humans were blending spices long before modern cuisine or trade routes existed.
What’s the hottest spice in the world?
If we’re talking pure spice rather than hot sauces, the crown goes to the Carolina Reaper pepper — officially measured at over 2.2 million Scoville Heat Units (SHU). That’s more than 200 times hotter than a jalapeño and strong enough to trigger hiccups, sweating, and tears with just a tiny flake.
