Coffee roasting is a heating process that brings out the aroma and flavor locked inside a green coffee seed, which has a mild, grassy taste on its own, and turns the beans brown. The flavor profile of a bean\'s roast level will depend on the varietal and geographic location of that bean as well as the roasting method. Roasting coffee transforms the chemical and physical properties of green coffee beans into roasted coffee products. The roasting process is what produces the characteristic flavor of coffee by causing the green coffee beans to change in taste. Unroasted beans contain similar if not higher levels of acids, protein, sugars, and caffeine as those that have been roasted, but lack the taste of roasted coffee beans due to the Maillard and other chemical reactions that occur during roasting. Coffee tends to be roasted close to where it will be consumed, as green coffee is more stable than roasted beans. The vast majority of coffee is roasted commercially on a large scale, but small-scale commercial roasting has grown significantly with the trend toward \"single-origin\" coffees served at specialty shops. Some coffee drinkers even roast coffee at home as a hobby in order to both experiment with the flavor profile of the beans and ensure the freshest possible roasted coffee. Our own affiliated Wakey brand roasted specialty coffees come in 10%5 Robusta, 100% Arabica and Robusta/Arabica (70:30) mixed in high-quality freshness guaranteed re-sealable sachets and also in bulk. OEM is possible only on a contract basis. MOQ: 10 MT Supplied from Vietnam, India, Africa or Indonesia.
Iron ores are rocks and minerals from which metallic iron can be economically extracted. The ores are usually rich in iron oxides and vary in color from dark grey, bright yellow, or deep purple to rusty red. The iron is usually found in the form of Mangnetie (Fe3O4, 72.4% Fe) hematite (Fe2O3 69.9%) goethite ((FeO(OH), 62.9% Fe) Limonite (FeO(OH) n(H2O) 55% Fe) siderite (FeCO3, 48.2%, Fe) Ores containing very high quantities of hematite or magnetite, typically greater than about 60% iron, are known as natural ore or direct shipping ore, and can be fed directly into iron-marking blast furnaces. Iron ore is the raw material used to make pig iron which is one of the main raw materials to make steel 98% of the mined iron ore is used to make steel. In 2011 the Finacial Times quoted Christopher LaFemina, mining analyst at Barclays Capital, saying that iron ore is " More integral to the global economy than any other commodity except perhaps oil".

The jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus) also known as the jack tree, is a species of tree in the fig, mulberry and breadfruit family (Moraceae). The jackfruit tree is well-suited to tropical lowlands and widely cultivated throughout tropical regions of the world including India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and the rainforest of the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia and Australia. It bears the largest fruit of all trees, reaching as much as 55 Kg (120 Pounds) in weight, 90 cm (35 inches) in length and 50 cm (20 inches) in diameter. A mature jackfruit tree produces some 200 fruits per year with older trees bearing up to 500 fruits in a year. The jackfruit is multiple fruit composed of hundreds to thousands of individual flowers, and the fleshy petals of the unripe fruit are eaten. The ripe fruit is sweet (depending on variety) and is commonly used in desserts. Canned green jackfruit has a mild taste and meat-like texture that lends itself to being called "vegetable meat". Jackfruit is commonly used in South and Southeast Asian cuisines. Both ripe and unripe fruits are consumed. It is available internationally, canned or frozen and in chilled meals as are various products derived from the fruit, such as noodles and chips.

White table sugar comes from either sugarcane or sugar beet and is usually sold without its plant source clearly identified. This is because chemically speaking the two products are identical. Refined table sugar is pure, crystallized sucrose, much in the same way that pure salt is simply sodium chloride. Sucrose is found naturally in honey, dates and sugar maple sap, but is most concentrated in sugarcane and sugar beet. The refining process renders the original plant irrelevant as the sucrose is completely extracted from the plant that produced it. Sugar beets are grown in climates that are too cold for sugarcane. The low sugar content of the beets makes growing them a marginal proposition unless prices are relatively high. In 2000 Russia, the United States, Germany, France and Turkey were the world's five largest sugar beet producers. MOQ 12,500MT Supplied from Brazil
Field Corn, also known as cow corn is a North American term for maize (Zea mays) grown for livestock fodder (silage and meal), ethanol, cereal and processed food product. The principal field corn varieties are dent corn. A flint incudes blue corn (Zea mays amylacea) and waxy corn. Field corn is primarily grown for livestock feed and ethanol production is allowed to mature fully before being shelled off the cob and being stored in silos, pits, bins, or grain "flats". Field corn can also be harvested as high-moisture corn, shelled off the cob and piled and packed like silage for fermentation; or the entire plant may be chopped while still very high in moisture, with the resulting silage either loaded and packed in plastic bags, piled and packed in pits, or blown into and stored in vertical silos. People may pick ears of field corn when its sugar content has peaked and cook it on the cob or eat it raw. Ears of field corn picked and consumed in this manner are commonly called sweet corn, or "roasting ears" due to the most commonly used method of cooking them.

These are fully matured coconuts but while de-husking, the husk is left intact over the eyes of the coconut. This is a sensitive area, and by protecting it we can increase the shelf life of the coconut as the area susceptible to decay is protected. These older coconuts have a brown outer surface. They contain a small amount of liquid called mature coconut water, which is only sometimes consumed. The mature coconut contains a thick layer of firm. white flesh, which is called mature flesh or meat or sometimes copra (copra is the term used to describe the flesh when it is dried and processed for oil making). MOQ: 18 MT We can supply this from India, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Vietnam, etc.
Scylla serrata (often called mud crab or mangrove crab, although both terms are highly ambiguous and black crab) is an ecologically important species of crab found in the estuaries and mangroves of Africa, Australia and Asia. In their most common forms, their shell colours vary from a deep, mottled green to very dark brown. Scylla serrata is a swimming crab with an oval carapace. The carapace bears four triangular frontal teeth between the eyes and nine anterolateral teeth on each side. The chelipeds (claw-legs) are massive and smooth, and longer than the other legs. Mud crabs are prized by recreational fishers for their impressive size and delicious taste. MOQ 1 MT Supplied from Sri Lanka, Indonesia and Vietnam.

Fuerte Avocado The Fuerte avocado is often recognized as the archetypal avocado, green in color, pear-like in shape, and ranging from six to twelve ounces in size. It has smooth, medium-thin skin that peels easily, with dense, pale green flesh. It is marginally oily with a rich, creamy flavor and notes of hazelnut, and it is still considered by many to be the best-tasting avocado. The Fuerte avocado tree is large and spreading, one of the more cold-hardy varieties and the leaves have a strong anise smell when crushed. The fruit set of the tree is irregular, as some trees never seem to have much fruit while others are productive, and it has a tendency to alternate in bearing, producing an adequate crop every other year, depending on the weather at setting time, along with other factors. The name Fuerte, meaning strong or hardy in Spanish, was given to this variety because it survived the great freeze of 1913 in Los Angeles, California. Fuerte Avocados are medium in size, long-shaped fruit with green, leathery, easy-to-peel skin. Eat fresh or make guacamole, as Fuerte have a nice creamy and delicious flavor. Avocado trees are subtropical plants and have large leaves. MOQ: 10 MT Supplied from Colombia, Ecuador, Kenya, Uganda, Vietnam, and Indonesia.
Hass Avocado Over the years, the avocado has been called an alligator pear, custard apple, butter pear and vegetable pear. The name alligator pear originated from a the specimen that has a rough skin similar to the hide of our Everglades beast of the swamps. The Hass avocado is a variety of avocados with dark green, bumpy skin. It was first grown and sold by Southern California mail carrier and amateur horticulturist Rudolph Hass, who also gave it his name. Owing to its taste, size, shelf-life, high growing yield, and in some areas, year-round harvesting, the Hass cultivar is the most commercially popular avocado worldwide.

Bamboo charcoal is charcoal made from species of bamboo. Bamboo charcoal is typically made from the culms or refuse of mature bamboo plants and burned in ovens at temperatures ranging from 600 to 1200 �°C. It is especially porous charcoal, making it useful in the manufacture of activated carbon. Bamboo charcoal is made of bamboo by means of a pyrolysis process. According to the types of raw materials, bamboo charcoal can be classified as raw bamboo charcoal or bamboo briquette charcoal. Raw bamboo charcoal is made of bamboo plant parts such as culms, branches, and roots. Bamboo briquette charcoal is made by carbonizing bamboo residue, such as bamboo dust or saw powder, and compressing it into sticks or lumps. There are two equipment processes used in carbonization, one is a brick kiln process, and the other is a mechanical process. In East Asia and Africa, many people use bamboo charcoal as a cooking fuel, producing less air pollution than other charcoal. Like all charcoal, bamboo charcoal purifies water by reducing organic impurities, odorants, and chlorine. MOQ: 20 MT Supplied from India, Vietnam, and Indonesia
Black tea, is a type of tea that is more oxidized than oolong, yellow, white and green teas. Black tea is generally stronger in flavor than other teas. All five types are made from leaves of the shrub Camellia sinensis, though Camellia taliensis is also used rarely. Black tea has the highest amount of caffeine, which makes it weight-loss-friendly. More caffeine means an extra boost of energy that can help you burn more calories. A study conducted in 2014 found that drinking three cups of black tea regularly increased weight loss as well as reduced waist circumference.

Coal is a sedimentary deposit composed predominantly of carbon that is readily combustible. Coal is black or brownish-black, and has a composition that (including inherent moisture) consists of more than 50 percent by weight and more than 70 percent by volume of carbonaceous material. Coal is primarily used as fuel to generate electric power all over the world. In coal-fired power plants, bituminous coal, sub-bituminous coal, or lignite is burned. The heat produced by the combustion of the coal is used to convert water into high-pressure steam, which drives a turbine, which produces electricity. The ranks of coals, from those with the least carbon to those with the most carbon, are lignite, sub-bituminous, bituminous, and anthracite. MOQ : 30,000 MT Supplied from Indonesia.
Coconut shell charcoal is the by-product of pyrolysis process which involves burning coconut shells in a limited supply of oxygen in order to carbonize it first. After that, coconut shell charcoal is crushed into powder and mixed with adhesive to manufacture different shapes and size of charcoal briquettes. One of the main functions of Coconut Charcoal Briquette is for shisha or hookah burner - for which the briquettes are made into small cubes and discs. People also use the lower grade for barbecue purposes - for which the briquettes are made into pillow shape, spheroid, square cylinders or hexagonal cylinders. MOQ: 20 MT Supplied from India, Vietnam and Indonesia.
Coconut shell charcoal is a valuable commodity produced from coconut shells. South East Asia is the leading producer and supplier of coconut shell charcoal. Coconut Shell Charcoal is manufactured by carbonizing raw coconut shells in a limited supply of air. Economical and eco-friendly, coconut shell charcoal is one of the cleanest and most favored sources of developing activated carbon. Whereas other materials such as wood, coal, or other carbon-based sources are also suitable charcoal sources, the quality of coconut shell charcoal is far superior to others. The odorless and non-toxic characteristic qualities of coconut shell charcoal make it a widely used deodorizer and decolorizer in the air conditioning industry, cosmetic industry, and water purification plants. Also widely used to make activated carbon for the cosmetics industry, teeth whitening, etc. MOQ: 20 MT Supplied from India, Vietnam, Indonesia, and Sri Lanka.
White pepper is obtained by removing the dark outer part of the pericarp of the dried peppercorn, and the flavor is less pungent than that of black pepper. The outer coating is softened either by keeping the berries in moist heaps for 2 or 3 days or by keeping them in sacks submerged in running water for 7 to 15 days, depending on the region. The softened outer coating is then removed by washing and rubbing or by trampling, and the berries are spread in the sun to dry. Whole white pepper can also be prepared by grinding off the outer coating mechanically. Use white pepper to season light-colored dishes like cream sauces, soups, potatoes, pasta, and seafood. White pepper has a pungent flavor so use less than you would black pepper. White pepper is a good source of flavonoids, vitamin A, and vitamin C. These aid in lowering high blood pressure. Thus, white pepper may help manage blood pressure. MOQ 5 MT Supplied from Vietnam, India, Indonesia, and Sri Lanka.
Mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana), also known asthe purple mangosteen, is a tropical evergreen tree with edible fruit native to tropical lands surrounding the Indian Ocean. Its origin is uncertain due to widespread prehistoric cultivation. It grows mainly in Southeast Asia, Southwest India and other tropical areas such as Colombia and Puerto Rico, where the tree has been introduced. In each fruit, the fragrant edible flesh that surrounds each seed is botanically endocarp, i.e., the inner layer of the ovary. The seeds are of similar size and shape to almonds. Mangosteen has been used to treat skin infections and diarrhea. Recent scientific studies suggest that mangosteen possesses strong antioxidant, anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic, anti-microbial, and antimalarial properties.

The durian is the edible fruit of several tree species belonging to the genus Durio. There are 30 recognised Durio species, at least nine of which produce edible fruit. Durio zibethinus, native to Borneo and Sumatra, is the only species available in the international market. Durian lovers say it has a sweet, custardy taste, with the texture of creamy cheesecake. Flavors often attributed to the durian fruits are caramel and vanilla. Some fruits have a slightly bitter note, together with some sweetness. You could call it the most loved and the most hated fruit on earth. Also called the king of fruits, durian has a very powerful smell which puts off many people. But those who can overcome the smell are in for a huge surprise because it said a person who overcomes the smell and eats the fruit will never get bored of eating it over and over again.

The garden strawberry (or simply strawberry; Fragaria ananassa) is a widely grown hybrid species of the genus Fragaria, collectively known as the strawberries, which are cultivated worldwide for their fruit. The fruit is widely appreciated for its characteristic aroma, bright red color, juicy texture, and sweetness. It is consumed in large quantities, either fresh or in such prepared foods as jam, juice, pies, ice cream, milkshakes, and chocolates. Artificial strawberry flavorings and aromas are also widely used in products such as candy, soap, lip gloss, perfume, and many others. Strawberries are good for your whole body. They naturally deliver vitamins, fiber, and particularly high levels of antioxidants known as polyphenols -- without any sodium, fat, or cholesterol. They are among the top 20 fruits in antioxidant capacity and are a good source of manganese and potassium. Just one serving -- about eight strawberries -- provides more vitamin C than an orange.

Rambutan is a medium-sized tropical tree in the family Sapindaceae. The name also refers to the edible fruit produced by this tree. The rambutan is native to Southeast Asia. It is closely related to several other edible tropical fruits including the lychee, longan, pulasan and guinep. The name "rambutan" is derived from the Malay word rambut meaning 'hair' referring to the numerous hairy protuberances of the fruits, together with the noun-building suffix -an. Similarly, in Vietnam, they are called chim chim (meaning 'messy hair). Their taste is similar to lychee, as they belong to the same family. Rambutans have a sweet, fruity flavour with a hint of acidity reminiscent of strawberries and grapes. Additionally, there is a floral, tropical taste to it.
