Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the difference between FAQ and Sortex Quality?
Answer: FAQ (Fair Average Quality) is standard machine-cleaned fenugreek suitable for grinding and oil extraction. Sortex Quality is color-sorted and practically free of impurities (99.9% pure), making it ideal for direct retail packing, whole spice use, and premium exports.
2. Is your Fenugreek suitable for sprouting?
Answer: Yes. Our Fenugreek seeds are fresh, raw, and untreated with heat, ensuring a high germination rate. This makes them perfect for agricultural sowing or for the health food market (sprouts).
3. Which region do you source your Fenugreek from?
Answer: We primarily source from the Rajasthan belt, specifically regions like Nagaur, which is globally recognized for producing the highest quality Fenugreek with superior size, color, and aroma compared to seeds from other regions.
4. Can you supply Fenugreek Powder?
Answer: Yes, we offer Ground Fenugreek Powder processed in our cold-milling facility to retain the flavor profile. We supply mesh sizes ranging from 60 to 80 mesh for spice blends.
5. Do you provide lab reports for export?
Answer: Absolutely. Every shipment comes with a Certificate of Analysis (COA) and a Phytosanitary Certificate verifying that the cargo is free from pests and meets the importing country's standards for moisture and purity.
