Fennel Seeds (25kg)

Wholesale fennel seeds, also called saunf, are whole dried seeds supplied in a bulk box for restaurants, takeaways, bakeries, sweet shops and caterers across the UK. They have a sweet, warm, aniseed-like flavour that suits both savoury and sweet menus. Whole seeds can be tempered in hot oil, toasted, or ground to order, which makes them easy to use in a commercial kitchen. Buying in bulk keeps your spice rack stocked and your cost per portion steady.

Key Features of Wholesale Fennel Seeds

• Bulk & Wholesale Supply: Supplied as a bulk box for kitchens and production lines that use fennel every week, so you reorder less often.
• Trade Pricing: Buying at wholesale price lowers the cost per portion across spice blends, doughs, pickles and curry bases.
• Sweet, Liquorice-Like Flavour: The aroma opens up when the seeds are warmed in oil or lightly crushed, and it adds a gentle sweetness to savoury dishes.
• Whole Seed Versatility: Use them whole for tarka and bread crusts. Toast and grind them for rubs, masalas and sausage mixes. One stock line covers both jobs.
• Holds Up in Cooking and Baking: The seeds keep their shape and fragrance through slow braises, long simmers and oven heat.
• Storage & Handling for Bulk Packs: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and strong odours. Decant into an airtight container and reseal after each use.
