The crops we treat

Steam suits dry product with a microbial problem and a flavour worth protecting — which is the herb and spice shelf.

What we treat

Herbs and spices, for suppliers, distributors and food manufacturers. Send us the details of your product and we will tell you whether the process fits it.
  • Herbs

    Treated without chemicals or radiation, so the flavour, colour and texture of the leaf come through the cycle intact.

  • Spices

    Bacteria, moulds and pathogens eliminated while the true taste, aroma and appearance are maintained.

Three places in the chain where this matters

  • Suppliers and growers

    You have crop coming off the land and a buyer with a microbial specification. We treat the batch so it clears that spec without changing what you grew.

  • Wholesalers and aggregators

    You consolidate from several farms, which means you inherit several risk profiles. One treatment step brings the whole consignment to a single standard.

  • Food manufacturers

    A blend is only as clean as its dirtiest input. Treat the components before they go into the mix, not after the problem is distributed through the batch.

Not sure whether your crop suits the process?

Send us the details. If steam is the wrong answer for your product we will say so — that is a shorter conversation than a failed batch.
