Manufacturing high-quality food spices requires the strictest rules and recipes. In the first instance you must choose ingredients of the highest quality which means that you must have some awareness of the conditions under which they are cultivated. Even the best ingredients, however, can ‘backfire’ if they do not adhere consistently to a formulated recipe. What helps too is if you have a passion for the pursuit.
It took Lakeraj Singh, popularly known as Roy, two decades to bring Roy’s Spices to where it is today. One of the better-known manufacturing enterprises on the Essequibo Coast, at Adventure, the company has gradually expanded its reputation to become a wider household name across Guyana. Roy’s has placed on the market more than thirty of the more popular spices and seasonings which are to be found in domestic kitchens and restaurants in Guyana including curry power, grounded ginger, grounded black pepper, masala, geera, cinnamon, mustard seed, nutmeg, clove, aniseed, turmeric and pimento among others. The brand has carved out its own niche on the market.
