About This Product
Rajasthan Dill Seed
Dill (Anethum graveolens), called Sowa or Suva in India, is a member of the same botanical family as cumin and coriander, but with a distinctly different aromatic profile — fresh, slightly citrus-herbal, dominated by carvone and limonene. Rajasthan is India's principal dill seed growing region, producing seeds with consistently high volatile oil content (2.5%+).
PAX Herbal supplies machine-cleaned and gravity-separated dill seeds. Volatile oil content and carvone percentage are tested per batch. Food-grade (for pickles, bread, fish dishes) and essential oil grade (for oil distillation) are both available. EU MRL pesticide residue standards are met.
We supply to pickle manufacturers, bakery ingredient companies, essential oil distillers, herbal tea blenders and pharmaceutical digestive preparation makers across Europe, North America and the Middle East.
