Harvesting

Organic fennel seeds are typically harvested from the fennel plant, a flowering herb native to the Mediterranean region. The fennel plant is known for its feathery leaves and bright yellow flowers, and the seeds are harvested from the plant's dried, ripe fruits. Harvesting of fennel seeds usually takes place in late summer or early autumn when the seeds have fully matured and turned a golden brown colour. The seeds are typically processed by air-drying the harvested fruits to preserve their flavour and nutritional content. The composition of organic fennel seeds includes a rich array of nutrients, including fibre, potassium, and vitamin C. These seeds are also known for their natural aromatic flavour and are often used in culinary dishes for their distinct anise-like taste.

The natural raw product makeup of organic fennel seeds includes essential oils, such as anethole, which gives the seeds their characteristic flavour and aroma. Additionally, fennel seeds are known for their digestive benefits and are often consumed for their potential health-promoting properties.

The organic nature of Organic Fenugreek means that it is grown and harvested without the use of synthetic pesticides or fertilisers, preserving its natural composition.

Best Before

We believe in mindful consumption and want to share some insights on best before dates, especially when it comes to our dried foods. Best before dates indicate peak freshness and quality, not safety. Dried foods, such as grains and legumes, can often be safe and nutritious beyond their best before dates. They may lose a bit of their peak quality, but they remain a valuable and sustainable food source.

We encourage you to trust your senses. If stored properly and free from moisture, dried foods can maintain their safety and flavour for an extended period beyond the best before date. Embrace a less wasteful approach by exploring and using these ingredients even if they've passed their best before dates. Together, let's reduce food waste and maximise the full potential of every pantry staple.

Explore Waste Savers, where you'll find items approaching or past their best before date at reduced prices. Embrace conscious consumption, reduce food waste, and give these products a second chance. Your purchase not only saves you money but also contributes to a more sustainable and mindful approach to nourishment.

Packaging & Storage

You’ll receive your Organic Fenugreek in a compostable kraft bag (unless you chose to get a compostable resealable pouch instead). These will be fine stored in the kraft bag for an extended time although, we recommend decanting and storing them in an airtight container to maintain optimum quality. Once decanted, you can save multiple bags and return them to us for a reward.
