Garden Cress Seeds

Garden cress seeds (Lepidium sativum) — known across South Asia and the Middle East as Halim, Aliv, Asaliya, or Rashad — are among the most nutritionally concentrated small seeds in international botanical trade. Naturally rich in iron, calcium, protein, folic acid, vitamins A, C and E, linoleic and arachidic fatty acids, and dietary fibre, they serve a rapidly growing market spanning nutraceutical supplement manufacturers, functional food processors, sprouting and microgreen suppliers, women’s health product formulators, and traditional wellness brands worldwide. Harmain Global exports cleaned, export-grade garden cress seeds from Pakistan’s agricultural growing regions — supplying wholesale ingredient buyers, health food distributors, and bulk seed traders across the GCC, Europe, North America, and Asia.

Pakistan is a natural production base for Lepidium sativum, where the crop grows in the same climatic belt that has supported its cultivation in South Asian traditional medicine for generations. Our garden cress seeds are supplied as whole cleaned seed, non-GMO, additive-free, and Halal certified.

Quality Standards & Specifications

Every lot is mechanically cleaned through gravity separators and optical Sortex graders to remove foreign matter, damaged seed, and off-type material — achieving purity consistently above 98%. Moisture content is maintained at or below 8% to preserve the seeds’ natural mucilage integrity, fatty acid stability, and shelf life during transit and storage. Each batch is independently tested for moisture, purity, microbial safety, heavy metals, and pesticide residues — with a full Certificate of Analysis issued with every shipment.
