Bridging Gardens to Global Ports
Spices Kerala started in 2018 as a family farm alliance in Ernakulam district. We saw that local smallholders grew excellent nutmeg seeds but lacked direct avenues to reach international markets. Our mission was to build a clean sorting facility and offer direct-export infrastructure.
Today, we work with over 150 farmers in central Kerala. By offering fair, direct wages above traditional market rates and curing the spices ourselves, we ensure absolute chemical purity and full batch traceability.
Our Journey
From harvest to final processing, every step reflects our commitment to quality and tradition
Hand Harvesting
Only naturally cracked pods are harvested from branches, signaling peak seed maturity.
Mace Extraction
Red mace arils are peeled off the shells by hand to maintain whole flower forms, then solar-dried.
Curring & Shelling
Nutmeg pods are dried slowly on raised beds until seeds rattle, then carefully graded.
Export Dispatch
Lab check clears are finalized, and products are vacuum packed for container loading at Cochin Port
