TRS

TRS was founded back in 1959 when Taherally Remanji Suterwalla set up his business with the support of his family after arriving from Mumbai. Historically, getting the best spices and pulses from the East was not always straight forward. Long journeys and inconsistent quality were the norm.

Taherally Remanji Suterwalla realized there was a market for people who yearned for Asian home cooking in London. He opened up a store and a cash & carry which sold Indian groceries and gained in popularity across the South of England. Soon the range expanded to include a larger variety of high-quality Indian spices, pastes and pickles, pulses, poppadum, rice, and flour.

TRS has taken up the mantle to bring to consumers the best from South Asia with delicious, properly authentic flavors. Today, it is TRS’ ambition to bring you the authentic taste of home more than ever before.

Proper Indian food takes time and for a reason! To obtain those deep layers of flavor, TRS experts have curated a range of intense flavors without shortcuts or fillers. Here at TRS, we are absolutely passionate about flavor; And food; And cooking. In fact, at the heart of our business, is a constant quest to discover the most authentic quality spices in their purest form. Each TRS ingredient is carefully grown in the most ideal conditions and is harvested only at its peak.

Sourcing Standards

We source our foods from around the globe, choosing to partner with specialist suppliers based in an ingredient’s growing region wherever possible. We have known many of our suppliers for decades and hold them to high standards when it comes to their social and environmental practices. We collect up-to-date information about their efforts each year and work with independent third-parties to verify them.

Minimizing Packaging Waste

To make sure our products are as flavorful for as long as possible and to protect their quality till they reach you, we have to package them in glass jars, paper bags, aluminum cans, or plastic film. Our glass, paper, and metal packaging is recyclable, but our plastic packaging is not yet.

We’re completely rethinking our approach to packaging to use less, better, or no plastic. We’re working to make our plastic recyclable but until then, we use as little of it as possible to package our products, to reduce our packaging waste.

Feeding the Felix Kitchen

TRS is a proud partner of the Felix Project’s Felix Kitchen which cooks thousands of healthy and flavourful meals each day and distributes them to children and families in need across East London. We supply the kitchen with spices and pulses that they might find hard to come by otherwise.

The Felix Project is a London-based food redistribution charity set up in 2016 to fight food waste and hunger. They believe in a vision where no-one goes hungry and good food is never wasted.
