Bulk Psyllium Seeds Exporter from India - Isabgol Seeds Supplier
iGreen International is a leading psyllium seeds exporter from India, supplying premium quality Plantago ovata seeds from the heartland of isabgol cultivation in Gujarat and Rajasthan. India produces over 80% of the world's psyllium, and our strategic location in the primary growing regions of Mehsana, Banaskantha, Sidhpur, and Jalore gives us direct access to the freshest harvests and the most competitive farm-gate pricing available in the market.
Psyllium seeds, commonly known as isabgol seeds in India, are the foundation of a multi-billion dollar global dietary fiber industry. The seeds of Plantago ovata contain a mucilaginous husk that swells dramatically upon contact with water, making them invaluable for pharmaceutical, food, and industrial applications. As an established isabgol supplier from Gujarat, iGreen International has built a robust supply chain that ensures uninterrupted availability throughout the year, even during off-season periods.
Our psyllium seed processing facility employs advanced cleaning technology including air classifiers, gravity separators, and precision sieves to remove impurities such as stones, dust, weed seeds, and broken grains. The result is psyllium seeds of exceptional purity levels ranging from 98% to 99%, with consistent color, size uniformity, and high swelling factor that meets the exacting standards of pharmaceutical manufacturers and food processors worldwide.
The swelling factor is a critical quality parameter for psyllium seeds, directly indicating the mucilage content and functional efficacy. Our seeds consistently achieve swelling factors of 10-12 ml/g, significantly exceeding the minimum pharmacopoeial requirements. This superior swelling capacity makes our psyllium seeds ideal for both direct consumption and further processing into husk and husk powder.
As a plantago ovata wholesale supplier with comprehensive certifications including FSSAI, ISO 9001:2015, USFDA, and GMP, we serve diverse customer segments including pharmaceutical companies, nutraceutical brands, food ingredient distributors, and industrial buyers across more than 60 countries. Our quality documentation package includes detailed Certificates of Analysis, phytosanitary certificates, and certificates of origin to facilitate smooth customs clearance at destination ports.
iGreen International offers flexible procurement solutions whether you require a single 20-foot container or regular monthly shipments under long-term supply agreements. Our dedicated export team handles all logistics coordination from our processing facility to your warehouse, providing real-time shipment tracking and proactive communication throughout the supply chain.
