Fennel Seeds (Saunf): Regular vs Lucknowi Fine

Sweet, Aromatic Seed

Indian fennel is known for its sweet, anise-like aroma. Gujarat and Rajasthan are key growing regions supplying both culinary and mouth-freshener markets.

Regular vs Lucknowi

Lucknowi fennel is a finer, smaller, sweeter seed commanding a premium for confectionery and supari applications. Regular fennel suits bulk culinary and spice-blend buyers.

Quality Checks

Colour (bright green), purity and moisture are the primary parameters. Machine-cleaning ensures low admixture for export.

Packing & MOQ

25 kg bags; MOQ from 3 MT for Lucknowi, 5 MT for regular.
