Egyptian Fennel Seeds Bulk Export

Egyptian fennel seeds (Foeniculum vulgare) from Beni Suef are valued for their vibrant green color, sweet anise-like aroma, and high volatile oil content — ranging from 2% to 4% depending on harvest timing and growing conditions. The primary aromatic compound is anethole, the same compound that defines anise and star anise, making fennel seeds a versatile raw material across food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic manufacturing.
Egyptian fennel is harvested and processed to preserve volatile oil integrity — the key quality parameter that determines aroma strength and commercial value. Each batch undergoes multi-stage mechanical cleaning, gravity separation, and Sortex optical color sorting to achieve 99%+ purity and uniform green color preferred by European and Gulf buyers.
Primary applications include herbal tea blending, digestive supplement production (fennel is widely used in gripe water and digestive aid formulations), essential oil distillation, spice blend manufacturing, bakery and confectionery flavoring, and oral care product formulations.
Double-layer packaging with silica gel moisture control is used to protect volatile oil content during sea freight — critical for maintaining aroma strength on arrival. Packed in 25kg polypropylene bags.
