What garden cress (halim / aliv) seed Kehkashan exports
Kehkashan exports Lepidium sativum seed, known as halim in Urdu and Hindi, aliv in Marathi and حب الرشاد in Arabic, in three grades: sowing seed under HS 1209.91, Sortex-cleaned food grade under HS 1207.99, and low-microbial sprouting grade. Origin partners sit in India, Pakistan, Egypt, Iran and Morocco, shipping FOB Jebel Ali or Karachi.
Cress seed origins: Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Punjab, Egypt, Iran, Morocco
Indian cress seed comes from Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh, where bold red-brown seed is harvested in March and April and cleaned near Jaipur and Indore. Pakistani Punjab lots load through Karachi. Egyptian Nile Delta seed is smaller and suits dense microgreen sowing, while Iranian and Moroccan lots serve regional culinary markets and provide counter-season supply.
Sowing grade cress seed: ISTA germination, purity and HS 1209.91
Sowing-grade Lepidium sativum ships under HS 1209.91 with an ISTA certificate showing 99% purity, germination of at least 85%, moisture under 8% and nil weed seed. Cress germinates within 24–48 hours, so vigour drops if stored warm; we require a germination test dated within 90 days of loading and ship with an origin NPPO phytosanitary certificate.
Food and halim grade cress seed for Gulf and Indian packers
Food-grade halim seed is Sortex-sorted to 99% with admixture under 1%, ships under HS 1207.99 and carries a pesticide-residue panel because it is eaten. Saudi and Kuwaiti spice houses repack حب الرشاد into 100–500 g units for traditional dishes and post-partum nutrition; Mumbai and Pune sweet makers use aliv in laddoo and kheer.
Sprouting and microgreen grade cress seed for European growers
Sprouting grade is drawn from food-grade lots and tested at an accredited origin lab for Salmonella absent in 25 g, E. coli O157:H7 and Listeria. Microgreen growers in the Netherlands, Germany and the UK sow it on mats or paper because cress seed turns mucilaginous when wet. Minimum order is 500 kg LCL.
Cress seed specifications and lab certificates on every container
Every lot is specified at 99% purity, moisture under 8% and admixture under 1%, with germination of 85% or more on sowing lots. Documents include the ISTA or origin seed-testing certificate, phytosanitary certificate, Dubai Chamber-attested certificate of origin, fumigation certificate and, for food and sprouting grades, pesticide-residue and microbiological reports.
Cress seed packaging, container capacity and cold-pressed oil lots
Standard packing is 25 kg PP bags or 50 kg jute bags, loading 18–20 MT into a 20-foot container; 1 kg retail pouches in 20 kg cartons reduce capacity to about 15 MT. High-oil lots are set aside for cold-pressed halim seed oil crushers, who specify oil content on the COA.
Cress seed MOQ, lead time and ports: Mundra, Karachi, Jebel Ali
The minimum order is one 20-foot FCL, with 500 kg LCL trials consolidated through Jebel Ali. Lead time is 14–21 days from confirmed PO, loading at Mundra for Indian lots, Karachi for Pakistani Punjab seed and Alexandria for Egyptian origin. Transit runs 5–8 days to Jeddah or Dammam and 21–28 days to Hamburg.

أسئلة فرق المشتريات
إجابات على الأسئلة الأكثر شيوعاً التي يطرحها المشترون أثناء طلب عرض السعر وتقييم الشحنة التجريبية.
- Sowing grade versus food grade versus sprouting grade — what changes?
- Sowing grade ships under HS 1209.91 with an ISTA certificate showing purity of 99% and germination of at least 85%; buyers are seed multipliers and commercial growers. Food or halim grade ships under HS 1207.99, is Sortex-cleaned to 99% with admixture under 1%, and carries a pesticide-residue panel because it is eaten. Sprouting grade is food grade plus a microbiological panel — Salmonella, E. coli and Listeria absent in 25 g — because microgreens are consumed raw. Specify the grade on the PO; the HS code drives duty and inspection at destination.
- Where is the demand for halim / حب الرشاد seed?
- Saudi Arabia and Kuwait are the largest Gulf buyers: حب الرشاد is a traditional food used in post-partum nutrition and winter dishes, packed in 100–500 g retail units by spice houses in Riyadh, Jeddah and Kuwait City. India consumes halim and aliv seed in laddoo, kheer and Maharashtrian sweets, with Mumbai and Pune packers buying Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh lots. European microgreen growers in the Netherlands, Germany and the UK buy sprouting grade for cress punnets. Egypt and Morocco supply regional culinary markets and export surplus.
- What purity and germination should I specify for sowing lots?
- Specify purity of 99% minimum, germination of 85% or higher tested to ISTA rules, moisture under 8%, and weed seed nil for Lepidium sativum sowing lots. Garden cress germinates within 24–48 hours, so germination drops quickly if seed is stored warm; ask for a test date within 90 days of shipment. Bold red-brown seed from Rajasthan and Punjab is preferred by growers for vigour, while smaller Egyptian seed suits dense microgreen sowing. We provide the ISTA certificate and origin phytosanitary certificate with every sowing-grade container.
- Can you supply sprouting-grade cress with a microbial COA?
- Yes. Sprouting and microgreen grade cress is drawn from food-grade lots, machine cleaned, then tested at an accredited origin lab for Salmonella (absent in 25 g), E. coli O157:H7 and Listeria, with total plate count reported. Lots are packed in 25 kg PP bags with food-grade liners and kept below 8% moisture. Because cress seed is mucilaginous when wet, sprouting buyers usually sow on mats or paper rather than in jars; we can supply germination data at 20 °C on request. Minimum order for sprouting grade is 500 kg LCL.
- How much cress seed fits in a container and what is the lead time?
- A 20-foot container loads 18–20 MT in 25 kg PP bags or about 19 MT in 50 kg jute bags; 1 kg retail pouches are packed in 20 kg cartons and reduce capacity to roughly 15 MT. Lead time is 14–21 days from confirmed PO, loading at Mundra or Karachi for Indian and Pakistani origin and Alexandria for Egyptian lots, with Gulf transit of 5–8 days to Jeddah or Dammam and 21–28 days to Hamburg. LCL trial lots of 500 kg consolidate through Jebel Ali.
