Unique Foods Ltd.

Unique Foods Ltd.

Unique Foods Ltd. was established in the year 1979 with the sole
purpose of manufacturing some Indian delicacies, but
accidentally, the founders were led to develop a line which made
them pioneers of a special type of FOOD condiments and made them
first in North America to produce on a commercial scale.

While trying to develop some ready to eat Indian snacks, it
struck them that in Indian cookery and also in other Asian and
European cooking, some prepared food condiments were not
available in Grocery stores . . . and that is how / why it struck
them to think of condiments like Garlic paste and Ginger paste.

They started to develop Garlic and Ginger Pastes (puree) and
perfected stable products after overcoming some hardships and
problems. Fortunately, the products were well received by
consumers especially working women and girls. Friendly grocers
were very helpful in pushing the products to the consumers. The
success of GARLIC AND GINGER pastes, encouraged the founders to
develop more varieties.

Now on to CHUTNEYS.
And thus the experimenting began and the first CHUTNEY that came
out was Coriander (cilantro). Which was and still is a SUCCESS,
with tremendous reviews from LOCAL and ABROAD. Again this
did not stop them from their task of giving to the world their
great love for Gourmet Delight Paste and Chutneys.

As they became more and more proficient in making these products,
they started working simultaneously on other Chutney products
such as Mint, Green Chilies, Red Hot Pepper, Tamarind, etc.
Having successfully developed these, the marketing again went off
with a blast . . . success was again achieved in this venture as
well as with the rest of the products. By now the premises was
becoming small so they moved to larger premises. And as word
spread across North America, the orders started coming in. First
from New York city and then from the rest of the country as well.

Though variety of Pickles were always imported from India and
Pakistan, there was a gap for a different taste - LOCAL TASTE',
which would have fewer spices and less oil and so on. Fresh
carrots were readily available in Ontario which was experimenting
with pickling. With the proper spices and other ingredients out
came the first PICKLED CARROTS, which incidentally met the
public's applause and is still in heavy demand. This
encouraged the producers to manufacture other varieties,
i.e. Mango, Lemon, Green Chilli, Mixed Vegetable Pickles to
compliment the list of Pickles.

Having created the above they started experimenting with other
different chutneys and came up with a new blend called
Tropical delight . . . a new delicious sweet & sour sauce mixed
with fruits and nuts . . . and instant Curry Powder.

With another successful product, they started making other
chutneys and sauces to compliment the list and all with success.

In 1997 they sold their business along with all their know how &
recipes to a new family who has a great interest in Indian food
and condiments. The new owners . . . (who had no knowledge of
this FOOD except how to devour it all). In turn after learning
the ropes they started to experiment and came back with 3 new
sauces, with as much success as the great success of their
predecessors. They are now currently experimenting with new
varieties and will keep you updated on these new products as they
launch them. With your help these products will be a success.
