Fennel Seeds

Product Overview

Middle Egypt Fennel Premium

Egyptian fennel (Foeniculum vulgare Mill.) cultivated in Middle Egypt is prized for its large, plump seeds with a sweet anise-like flavor profile and high trans-anethole content. The moderate climate and irrigated farmlands of Middle Egypt produce fennel seeds with superior oil concentrations and the distinctive pale green to yellowish-green color that signals freshness and quality in international markets.

HS Herbs supplies whole and ground fennel seeds, processed through aspiration, de-stoning, and optical color sorting. We offer both bitter and sweet fennel varieties, graded by seed size (typically 5–8mm) and volatile oil content. Each lot is tested for volatile oil (typically 2.0–5.0%), trans-anethole percentage, moisture, and complete microbiology.

Egyptian fennel seeds are used in herbal tea blends, Italian sausage and meat processing, bread and baking, spice blends, Indian pan masala, pharmaceutical carminative preparations, and essential oil distillation. HS Herbs exports to leading spice houses and food manufacturers worldwide.
