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 meet EU and UK safety standards, with full microbiological, chemical, and sensory testing, and COAs available.

How much spice does each person in the UK consume every year?

In 2024, the UK spice market reached an estimated 91,000 tonnes. With a population of around 69–70 million, this equates to roughly 1.3 kg of spices per person per year, highlighting the strong and consistent demand across households, restaurants, and food manufacturers.

What is the size of the global spices and seasonings market?

The global spices and seasonings market was valued at approximately USD 26.5 billion in 2024 and is projected to exceed USD 53.5 billion by 2034, driven by globalised cuisines, demand for bold flavours, and growth in seasoned food products.

Which spices dominate the UK market?

Curry powder and pre-mixed seasoning blends dominate the UK spice market. Ready-made blends account for around 40% of total spice retail sales, reflecting consumer demand for convenience without sacrificing flavour.

When was the first seasoning blend created?

Archaeological evidence from Nordic cooking pots shows that ancient cooks seasoned fish stews using blended garlic mustard seeds and herbs, meaning spice blends existed long before modern cuisine or global trade routes.

What is the hottest spice in the world?

The Carolina Reaper pepper is considered the hottest spice in the world, officially measured at over 2.2 million Scoville Heat Units (SHU), making it more than 200 times hotter than a jalapeño.
