Organic Fennel, coarsely cracked 1–2 mm

Product description

Biova organic fennel is coarsely cracked to a particle size of around 1–2 mm. The light green to brownish seed pieces develop a warm, sweet-spicy aroma with a fine anise note and are suitable both for professional production and for high-end kitchens.

Coarse cracking makes the essential oils in the fennel seeds readily available without grinding the spice down to a fine powder. Gentle processing, careful cleaning and consistent granulation ensure reliable Biova bulk quality.

The cracked organic fennel is highly versatile – from bread and roll recipes to vegetable and fish dishes and tea or herb blends. Thanks to the 1–2 mm granulation, the spice is easy to dose and can be incorporated directly into spice blends, marinades or grinder mixes.

Origin

The fennel comes from Egypt, where sunny, dry-warm conditions and light soils provide ideal growing conditions for umbellifers. Selected growing regions deliver a pronounced, variety-typical aroma that is consistently reflected in Biova bulk products.

Cultivation / processing / harvest

The organic fennel is grown in line with organic standards without synthetic crop protection agents. After harvest, the seeds are gently dried, cleaned and then coarsely cracked to achieve an even particle size of around 1–2 mm.

Characteristics

The granulated, cracked structure sets this product apart from whole or finely ground fennel seeds. It combines strong aroma release with a still perceptible texture and supports even distribution in doughs or spice blends, especially in larger-scale production.

Differences in origin and processing

Fennel grown in Egypt shows an intense, sweet-spicy profile that works particularly well in teas, baked goods and spice blends. Compared with finely ground fennel, the flavour in this coarsely cracked bulk product 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 slightly sweet, rounding off both savoury and sweet recipes harmoniously.

Suggested uses

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