The buyer journey at Botanika Bharat is built on extreme transparency and iron-clad financial security. From the first inbound WhatsApp inquiry to the final delivery, we control every variable.

Celery powder is a concentrated, nutrient-dense ingredient derived from high-quality stalks and leaves, dehydrated to retain natural aroma, green color, and intense flavor profile. Unlike fresh produce, our celery powder provides a shelf-stable alternative that retains the sodium-rich essence of celery, making it a staple in the clean-label food industry.
As Botanika Bharat, we process raw celery in state-of-the-art facilities located in the heart of India's vegetable belts. Our controlled-temperature drying process ensures the essential oils—specifically limonene and selinene—remain intact, providing an authentic taste that synthetic flavorings cannot replicate.
The product serves as a vital component for global food manufacturers producing soups, broths, health supplements, and savory seasoning blends. Its natural nitrate content also makes it an essential ingredient for the meat processing industry, serving as a functional alternative to chemical curing agents.
With a track record of zero rejections across 50+ shipments per product, we guarantee that our celery powder meets stringent international standards. We manage the entire supply chain from soil to sea, ensuring that every batch is trace-verified for heavy metals, pesticides, and microbiological contaminants.
India’s diverse agro-climatic zones, particularly in regions like Punjab and Haryana, allow for consistent year-round production of premium celery. This geographical advantage enables us to maintain a steady supply chain while competitors struggle with seasonal gaps.
Botanika Bharat leverages advanced cold-chain and precision dehydration technologies. Our ability to process local harvests into export-grade powder within 48 hours of picking ensures we provide maximum freshness and nutritional potency to global buyers.
We rank as top exporters because we strictly adhere to FSSAI standards while aligning our documentation with international benchmarks like the US FDA and EU food safety directives, ensuring seamless entry into the most stringent markets.
Imagine a major processed-meat manufacturer in the UK facing a supply shortage of clean-label curing agents. They contact us on WhatsApp (+919666668428), and after a quick video call to verify our facility, we issue a professional quote.

Our process begins with understanding your exact requirements. Upon receiving your detailed business information, we issue a formal quote. Once you confirm, we require 100% advance payment before initiating production and packaging. Each batch is accompanied by a Certificate of Analysis (COA) and all necessary shipping/customs documentation, including a Letter of Export (LEO). We have extensive experience shipping daily to the UK, USA, UAE, EU, and non-EU countries, ensuring smooth customs clearance and delivery. Our expertise covers verifiable shipping logistics for all these destinations.
Our Celery Powder is meticulously processed to meet stringent international standards. Key parameters include a fine particle size, typically 80-100 mesh, ensuring excellent solubility and texture for various applications. We maintain a low moisture content below 8% to prevent clumping and spoilage, and a consistent, vibrant color and natural aroma characteristic of fresh celery. Rigorous quality control checks are performed at every stage, from raw material selection to final packaging, to guarantee purity and absence of contaminants.
Every shipment of our Celery Powder is accompanied by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing the quality parameters for that specific batch. Additionally, we can provide Halal and Kosher certifications upon request, catering to diverse market needs. Our facilities operate under ISO 22000 and HACCP management systems, ensuring food safety and quality. We are adept at meeting country-specific regulatory requirements, such as those mandated by the US FDA, UK FSA, and EU authorities.
Our payment policy is firm and consistent: 100% advance payment is required before any production or shipment commences. This policy ensures operational efficiency and safeguards against unforeseen market fluctuations, allowing us to maintain competitive pricing and consistent quality. We do not offer any credit terms to international buyers. This ensures fairness and reliability for all our partners, enabling us to focus on delivering the best product and service.
Compliance is paramount. For the USA, we ensure adherence to US FDA regulations, including facility registration and product labeling requirements.

Furthermore, our 100% advance payment policy allows us to maintain efficiency and offer competitive pricing for such a high-quality, compliant product.

We appreciate your business needs. However, our company policy mandates 100% advance payment before production and shipment for all international orders. This policy allows us to uphold our commitment to quality, efficiency, and consistent supply without compromise. It ensures we can invest fully in producing the best product for you and manage our export operations smoothly. We have been successfully exporting daily to major markets like the UK, USA, and EU using this model for years.
We understand the importance of samples. While we provide COAs and detailed specifications, our policy for samples is after a serious business inquiry and initial discussion, typically for smaller, representative quantities. For larger sample requests beyond our standard procedure, we would need to discuss specific requirements and potential associated costs, as extensive sampling can impact our production schedule and resources. Our goal is to ensure you receive a quality product; perhaps a smaller initial order could serve as a trial?
We specialize in navigating complex international logistics and have a proven track record of successful shipments daily to the UK, USA, UAE, EU, and non-EU countries.

We strive to meet our clients' specific needs. While we have standard specifications for our Celery Powder (e.g., 80-100 mesh, <8% moisture), we can certainly discuss custom requirements. Our R&D and production teams are capable of adjusting parameters based on client needs. However, customization might impact lead times and minimum order quantities (MOQ). Could you please share the exact specifications you require, and we can assess the feasibility and provide a tailored quotation?

We are committed to ethical sourcing and can provide details on our supplier network upon serious inquiry.
Our Celery Powder typically has a shelf life of 24 months from the date of manufacture when stored under recommended conditions: in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture, and in tightly sealed containers. This is achieved through our stringent drying process that maintains a low moisture content (<8%). We provide the exact manufacturing and expiry dates on our packaging and COA for complete transparency.
Food safety is our top priority. Our Celery Powder is tested for pesticide residues to ensure compliance with international MRLs (Maximum Residue Limits) set by regulatory bodies like the EU, US FDA, and UK FSA. Our testing is conducted by accredited third-party laboratories, and the results are included in our Certificate of Analysis (COA) for every shipment.

Due to the nature of food products and international regulations, we generally do not accept returns. However, our commitment is to deliver defect-free products. In the extremely rare event of a quality issue attributable to our manufacturing process, we would investigate thoroughly. Our track record of 0 rejections suggests this is highly unlikely, but we address such concerns on a case-by-case basis, prioritizing customer satisfaction and adherence to quality standards.
Yes, a Certificate of Origin (COO) is a standard document we provide with every export shipment. This document verifies that the Celery Powder was manufactured in India. It is crucial for customs clearance and can be important for preferential trade agreements. We ensure all necessary documentation, including the COO, COA, and LEO, is accurate and complete to facilitate a seamless export process.
Our typical lead time from receiving 100% advance payment to shipment readiness is usually between 15-25 working days. This accounts for production scheduling, quality control testing, packaging, and preparation of all export documentation. For urgent requirements, please discuss with our team, and we will explore all possibilities to expedite the process where feasible, leveraging our efficient operations.
We use robust, export-grade packaging designed to withstand the rigors of international transit. This typically involves food-grade liners within sturdy multi-wall paper bags or fiber drums, often palletized and shrink-wrapped. While we take utmost care, shipping insurance can be arranged upon request to cover unforeseen transit damage. Our goal is to ensure the product arrives in perfect condition.
Yes, we provide comprehensive allergen declarations. Our facilities follow strict protocols to prevent cross-contamination. We will clearly state any potential allergens present in the processing environment or if the product is manufactured in a dedicated facility. This information is crucial for buyers, especially those adhering to US FDA or EU regulations, and will be included in our product documentation.
Celery Powder offers significant advantages for international trade and industrial use. It has a concentrated flavor and aroma, a longer shelf life, and is lighter and more cost-effective to transport compared to fresh celery. The drying and powdering process removes most of the water content, making it shelf-stable and reducing the risk of spoilage during long-distance shipping. It's ideal for seasonings, spice blends, soups, and sauces where consistent flavor is key.
Yes, testing for heavy metals is a standard part of our quality control process for international markets. We ensure our Celery Powder meets the stringent limits set by regulatory bodies like the US FDA and EU for contaminants such as lead, arsenic, cadmium, and mercury. These results are typically included in our COA, providing you with complete assurance of product safety.
Our MOQ for Celery Powder typically starts from 1 metric ton (1000 kg). This allows us to efficiently manage production runs and maintain our quality standards while offering competitive pricing. We can sometimes accommodate smaller trial orders, but this would depend on the specific circumstances and may be subject to different pricing. Please discuss your requirements, and we can see how best to serve you, potentially cross-selling with other products if your need is slightly below our standard MOQ.
Absolutely. Traceability is a cornerstone of our quality assurance. Each batch of Celery Powder is assigned a unique batch number, allowing us to track it from the raw material source through processing, packaging, and shipment. This information is available upon request and is vital for ensuring accountability and managing any potential quality concerns. Our system supports full traceability, essential for compliance with global food safety standards.

Knowing your key markets (e.g., USA, EU, UK, UAE) allows us to pre-emptively ensure compliance with regulations like US FDA, UK FSA, EU REACH, and ESMA standards, and prepare the necessary documentation like COA and LEO.
