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.

E250 vs E252: What’s the Difference Between Nitrite and Nitrate Curing Salts?

When it comes to curing meats, few topics cause more confusion than the difference between sodium nitrite (E250) and potassium nitrate (E252) . Both are essential curing agents, both are tightly regulated, and both play an important role in producing safe, high-quality cured meats — but they are not interchangeable . Understanding how each one works, and when to use them, is key whether you’re a beginner making your first salami or an experienced producer scaling commercial

Curing Salt with 0.6% Potassium Nitrate (E252): What It Is and How to Use It

Curing salt containing 0.6% potassium nitrate (E252) or Saltpetre is most closely associated with traditional dry curing and long-matured meat products . While modern production often relies on faster-acting nitrites, nitrate remains an important ingredient for producers making slow-fermented, long-aged cured meats . If your products are dried or matured over weeks or months — rather than days — curing salt with E252 is specifically designed for that purpose. It provides lon

Beginner Starter Cultures for Salami & Cured Sausages (UK Guide)

Starter cultures are one of the most important — and often misunderstood — components of making salami and cured sausages. For beginners, they can feel technical, intimidating, or even optional. In reality, they are the foundation of safe, consistent, and high-quality fermentation . Understanding what a starter culture does — and choosing the right one for your product — removes much of the guesswork from curing. Instead of relying on chance, temperature swings, or wild bacte
