Export-grade Indian fennel seeds from Rajasthan — whole and ground grades for food manufacturers, beverage producers, gin distillers, and spice importers worldwide.
India is one of the world's top fennel producers, with Rajasthan and Gujarat leading commercial cultivation. Indian fennel is distinctive for its characteristic sweet, warm, anise-like aroma derived from trans-anethole — the primary volatile compound. The large-seeded European Type is particularly popular with EU and US buyers.
SV Botanica sources machine-cleaned whole fennel seeds and freshly milled ground fennel directly from Rajasthan procurement networks, supplying to ASTA and ESA export standards. Both whole seeds for retail and food service, and ground powder for food manufacturing, are available.
Indian fennel's high volatile oil (1.5–2.5 ml/100g) and consistent trans-anethole profile makes it the preferred origin for EU food manufacturers and gin distillers. The large European Type seed commands premium pricing in EU retail markets.
Sourced from Rajasthan (Sirohi, Jodhpur) and Gujarat — India's primary fennel cultivation belt. Machine-cleaned and graded at APEDA-certified facilities.
We supply Indian fennel seeds to ASTA and ESA export standards. European Type (large seed) available at premium.
