Export Varieties & Grades
Lucknowi / Sanchore Grade: The "Champagne" of fennel. These are very thin, tiny seeds with a deep green color and a high sugar content. They are primarily used as a premium mouth freshener and in high-end confectionery.
Singapore/Europe Grade: Medium-sized seeds, machine-cleaned and Sortex-polished to achieve a uniform green color. This is the standard for culinary use in spice blends and herbal teas.
Abu Road Grade: Known for its bold size. While the color is slightly more yellowish-green, it is highly valued for oil extraction and industrial grinding.
Packaging & Logistics
Standard Packing: 25kg or 50kg New Multi-wall Paper Bags or PP Bags with inner liners (to preserve aroma).
Retail Packing: 100g to 1kg stand-up pouches or jars for retail "Mouth Freshener" sections.
Stuffing Capacity:
20ft FCL: Approx. 13.5 Metric Tons.
Storage: Fennel is highly aromatic and can "taint" other products. It must be stored separately in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
Product Description
Nature’s Aromatic Digestif: R&B International Premium Fennel Seeds
R&B International is a premier supplier of high-quality Indian Fennel Seeds, sourced from the arid, mineral-rich belts of Gujarat and Rajasthan. Our fennel is celebrated for its distinctive sweet, anise-like flavor and its dual role as a culinary spice and a natural digestive aid.
The R&B International Quality Edge:
Vibrant Natural Greenery: We utilize advanced shade-drying techniques to ensure our seeds retain their natural parrot-green color. Unlike lower-grade exports, our seeds are never artificially colored, meeting the strictest "Clean Label" standards of Europe and the USA.
High Anethole Content: The sweetness of fennel comes from Anethole. Our seeds are harvested at the peak of maturity to ensure maximum essential oil concentration, providing a more potent flavor for tea blenders and distillers.
Multi-Stage Sortex Cleaning: Every batch undergoes rigorous optical sorting to remove stalks, stones, and "blighted" (hollow) seeds. You receive only full-bodied, heavy seeds that provide a consistent crunch and flavor.
Versatile Global Grades: Whether you require the ultra-thin Lucknowi variety for premium mouth fresheners or the bold Abu grade for wholesale spice distribution, we provide precision-graded solutions tailored to your market.
From artisanal herbal teas and Italian sausages to the traditional after-dinner palettes of the East, R&B International delivers the refreshing sweetness and purity of the finest Indian fennel.
Strategic Tip for R&B International:
The "Shade-Dried" Value: When quoting for premium green fennel, always emphasize that your seeds are "Shade-Dried." Sunlight bleaches fennel seeds, turning them yellow and reducing their market value. By highlighting your shade-drying process, you justify a higher price point to buyers who prioritize the vibrant green aesthetic for retail shelves.
