We source our fennel directly from the famous belts of Gujarat (Unjha) and Rajasthan (Mount Abu). Whether you need the premium, tiny Lucknowi seeds for chewing or the bold Singapore Quality for grinding, we have the perfect grade for you:
| Appearance | Very small, thin, and bright green seeds. |
| Taste | Naturally sweet and intensely aromatic. |
| Usage | Eaten raw as a premium mouth freshener or coated with sugar. This is the most expensive grade. |
| Appearance | Bold, thicker seeds with a greenish-yellow color. |
| Taste | Mildly sweet with strong spice notes. |
| Usage | The standard grade for grinding into powder, using in curry blends, or exporting to commodity markets like Singapore and Malaysia. |
To help international buyers identify this sweet spice, here are the common global terms:
| English | Fennel Seeds, Sweet Cumin |
| Hindi | Saunf (सौंफ), Variyali |
| Spanish | Semillas de Hinojo |
| French | Graines de Fenouil |
| Arabic | Shamar (شمر) |
| Retail Category | “Mouth Fresheners” / “Baking Spices” |
Fennel turns yellow and loses flavour if exposed to sunlight.
Our Process: We store our stock in cool, dark warehouses immediately after harvest. We pack in Jute Bags (for breathability) or PP Bags with Liners to preserve that desirable “Fresh Green” look that commands a higher price in the market.
For confectionery buyers who coat fennel in sugar (to make candy), even a speck of dust is unacceptable.
The Solution: We offer Sortex Cleaned fennel that is 99.9% pure, ready for direct candy manufacturing.
Mouth Freshener: Chewed after meals in India and the Middle East to aid digestion and freshen breath.
Italian Sausage: The primary flavoring agent in authentic Italian sausages and meatballs.
Baking: Used in Rye bread, biscotti, and crackers for an anise-like taste.
Tea: Steeped to make “Fennel Tea,” known for reducing bloating.
The Solution: Fennel is a light seed. A 20ft container holds approximately 13 MT, while a 40ft holds 26 MT.
The Benefit: Strict fumigation is performed to ensure the cargo remains pest-free during the voyage.
