The company produces Indian, Chinese and South East Asian food products and ingredients.

It produces many cooking sauces, which usually come in a recognisable square jar, and also curry pastes and powders, pappadoms, naan breads, noodles, prawn crackers and ready meals.

In August 2010 Sharwood's teamed up with actor and personality Joanna Lumley to develop a limited edition Mango Chutney with Kashmiri Chilli – an ingredient from her birthplace.

Sharwood's pledged to donate 10p from each jar sold to the Gurkha Welfare Trust.

In addition to the UK, Sharwood's products are available in Australia, New Zealand, and North America.
