🌱 Our organic Saunf (Fennel Seeds) is sourced directly from a trusted farmer near Bikaner, Rajasthan - a region globally respected for producing fennel with high essential oil content, natural sweetness, and superior aroma. Grown in arid desert conditions without synthetic chemicals, this saunf reflects purity, potency, and traditional Indian spice heritage.
Fennel thrives in Rajasthan’s dry climate and mineral-rich soils, which concentrate its volatile oils, particularly anethole, the compound responsible for saunf’s signature sweet, cooling flavor.
Unlike polished or artificially greened market fennel, our seeds retain their natural pale green to light yellow hue, indicating minimal processing and intact phytochemicals.
Harvested at physiological maturity, sun-dried, and gently cleaned, these seeds are suitable for both culinary use and digestive applications. Whether used in tadkas, spice blends, teas, or as a post-meal mukhwas, this saunf delivers:
