This Malwatte jar holds fennel powder, ground from dried fennel seeds. It is pale and fine with a sweet, gentle anise flavour, and it saves grinding the seeds by hand.
Malwatte Valley Plantations PLC grows, processes and packs much of its produce on its own plantations and in its own factories, and also buys from smallholder farmers. It has grown spices since the early 2010s and runs a spice processing factory.
