Organic fennel, coarsely cracked 1–2 mm

Product description

Biova organic fennel is coarsely cracked to a particle size of around 1–2 mm, making it an ideal aromatic spice for professional use and high-end kitchens. The light green to brownish seed pieces release a warm, sweet-spicy aroma with a delicate anise note.

Coarse cracking makes the essential oils in the fennel seeds readily available without grinding them down to a fine powder. Gentle processing and careful cleaning ensure an even granulation and the consistent bulk quality you expect from Biova.

This cracked organic fennel is highly versatile – from bread and roll recipes 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.

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 reliably reflected in Biova bulk products.

Cultivation / processing / harvest

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

Key features

The granulated, cracked structure sets this product apart from whole or finely ground fennel seeds. It combines good flavour release with a still perceptible texture and makes it easier to distribute evenly in doughs or spice blends, especially in larger-scale production.

Differences in origin and processing

Fennel from Egyptian cultivation offers 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, slightly sweet and rounds off both savoury and sweet recipes harmoniously.

Suggested uses

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