Organic cracked fennel 1–2 mm from Egypt

Product description

Biova organic fennel is coarsely cracked to a consistent particle size of around 1–2 mm. The light green to brownish seed pieces release a warm, sweet-spicy aroma with a fine anise note and are ideal as a versatile seasoning.

Coarse cracking makes the essential oils in the fennel seeds readily available without grinding them down to a fine powder. Careful cleaning, gentle processing and the granulated structure ensure reliable quality, making this product particularly attractive for bulk use and professional applications.

In the kitchen, cracked organic fennel is highly versatile – from bread and roll doughs to vegetable and fish dishes, as well as tea and herbal blends. Thanks to the 1–2 mm granulation, the spice is easy to dose and can be added directly to spice blends, marinades or grinder mixes, for foodservice, artisan producers and home cooking alike.

Origin

The fennel comes from Egypt, where sunny, dry-warm conditions and light soils provide ideal growing conditions for umbellifers. Selected growing regions and the growers’ long-standing expertise support a pronounced, variety-typical aroma.

Cultivation / processing / harvest

Organic fennel is grown in line with organic standards, without synthetic crop protection agents. After harvest, the seeds are gently dried, cleaned and coarsely cracked at Biova to achieve a uniform granulation of around 1–2 mm.

Special features

The granulated, cracked structure sets this product apart from whole or finely ground fennel seeds. It combines excellent flavour release with a noticeable texture and makes it easier to distribute evenly in doughs, blends and bulk recipes.

Differences in origin and processing

Fennel grown in Egypt develops a particularly intense, sweet-spicy profile that has proven itself in teas, baked goods and spice blends. Compared with finely ground fennel, the flavour of Biova’s cracked bulk fennel remains stable for longer and comes through more distinctly in the finished product.

Taste & aroma

Cracked organic fennel has a warm, sweet aroma with light anise notes and a subtle herbal nuance. On the palate it is mildly spicy and gently sweet, rounding off both savoury and sweet recipes harmoniously.

Suggested uses

• As a spice in bread and roll recipes, for example fennel or farmhouse loaves in bakeries and artisan production.
• For vegetable, fish and oven dishes, for instance in Mediterranean or Middle Eastern spice blends in foodservice.
• For tea and herbal blends or flavoured oils, including Biova spice and grinder mixes.
