Blend spices to a fixed recipe for a specific cooking use.
A CONCRETE EXAMPLE · ILLUSTRATIVE
Fictional dry curry-style spice blend order: one hundred 100 g packs using a buyer-approved illustrative flavour formula of 4 kg coriander, 4 kg cumin and 2 kg turmeric, ten kilograms total before any measured packing loss. This is a formulation example, not a microbial treatment or medicinal product. Buy appropriately assessed food-use ground ingredients; blending/sieving does not make contaminated spices safe.
Who is the first customer?
