Organic Fennel | crushed | 1-2mm

What it is / Product description

Biova organic fennel is coarsely crushed with a grain size of around 1–2 mm and comes from certified organic cultivation in Egypt. The light green to brownish seed pieces exude a warm, sweet-spicy aroma with a fine anise note and are ideal as a spice for professional applications.

Coarse crushing makes the essential oils of the fennel seeds readily available without grinding them completely into powder. Gentle processing, careful cleaning and uniform granulation ensure reliable Biova bulk quality in every batch.

In the kitchen, the crushed fennel can be used in many ways – from bread and roll mixes to vegetable and fish dishes and tea and herb blends. Thanks to the 1–2 mm grain size, the spice is easy to dose and can be directly integrated into spice blends, marinades or grinder recipes, both in gastronomy and manufacturing as well as in the home kitchen.

Origin

The fennel comes from Egypt, where sunny, dry-warm climates and light soils offer ideal conditions for umbellifers. Many years of growing experience in selected regions support a pronounced, variety-typical aroma.

Cultivation / Production / Harvest

Organic fennel is grown according to ecological guidelines without synthetic crop protection agents. After harvesting, the seeds are gently dried, cleaned and then coarsely crushed to achieve a uniform grain size of around 1–2 mm, as preferred by Biova for granulated bulk goods.

Special features

The granulated, crushed structure distinguishes this product from whole or finely ground fennel seeds. It combines good aroma release with a still perceptible texture and facilitates even distribution in dough or blends, especially for larger production volumes.

Differences in origin and processing

Fennel from Egyptian cultivation shows an intense, sweet-spicy profile that has proven particularly suitable for teas, baked goods and spice blends. Compared to finely ground fennel, the flavour in the crushed bulk goods remains stable for longer and comes through more distinctly in the finished product.

Taste & aroma

Crushed organic fennel smells warm, sweet and slightly of anise, accompanied by a subtle herbal note. In taste it is mildly spicy and slightly sweet, allowing it to round off both savoury and sweet recipes harmoniously.

Possible applications
