Curry Leaves – Product Description and Specification

Product Overview

Linas Trading supplies premium-quality curry leaves in bulk quantities to food manufacturers, wholesalers, spice processors, and distributors worldwide. Curry leaves (Murraya koenigii) are aromatic leaves from the curry leaf tree, widely used in Indian, African, and Southeast Asian cuisines to impart a distinctive flavor and aroma to dishes.

Our curry leaves are sourced from trusted growers who follow sustainable farming practices. They are carefully harvested, sorted, and processed to retain their natural oils, vibrant color, and characteristic fragrance. We supply both fresh and dried curry leaves, depending on our clients’ requirements.

Key Features of Our Curry Leaves

  • Premium Quality – Uniform, vibrant green leaves with strong aroma and freshness.

  • Versatile Options – Available fresh, air-dried, sun-dried, or freeze-dried.

  • Bulk Quantities – Ideal for spice companies, food processors, and wholesalers.

  • International Standards – Compliance with EU, FDA, and global food safety regulations.

  • Year-Round Supply – Ensuring consistent availability and timely delivery.

Product Description

Curry leaves are small, shiny, dark green leaves used as a key flavoring ingredient in curries, stews, soups, and chutneys. Unlike curry powder (a blend of spices), curry leaves are a single, natural ingredient with a distinctive citrusy and nutty aroma.

Our curry leaves are harvested at peak maturity to ensure optimum flavor. For international buyers, we offer dried or freeze-dried curry leaves, which retain the same aromatic profile as fresh leaves but with a longer shelf life and easier transport.
