Foeniculum vulgare, commonly known as Saunf or Fennel, is a perennial aromatic herb widely cultivated in India and other parts of the world. The plant produces elongated, aromatic fruits that are commonly referred to as fennel seeds. Fennel naturally contains volatile oils, including anethole, which contributes to its characteristic sweet aroma and flavor.
Fennel is cultivated under suitable soil and climatic conditions and harvested when the fruits have reached appropriate maturity. The harvested fruits are collected, cleaned, and dried under suitable conditions to reduce moisture and maintain their natural aroma. The material can then be supplied as whole fennel seeds/fruits, crushed material, powder, or processed botanical extract, according to buyer requirements.
