Angelica seeds

Wild Icelandic Angelica Seeds (Ætihvannarfræ)

The botanical heart of the Arctic. Angelica seeds are the aromatic treasure of the Icelandic summer. While the root provides the earthy foundation, the seeds offer a brighter, more concentrated burst of the plant's essential character. Hand-harvested from the tall, resilient Angelica plants that dominate the wild Icelandic landscape, these seeds are a premium ingredient for culinary explorers and master distillers.

The Icelandic Wild:

• Ethically Handpicked: Gathered at the peak of the season from the pristine Icelandic wilderness, ensuring every seed is bursting with natural oils and aroma.

• Pure & Untouched: 100% wild-grown. These seeds have matured under the midnight sun, absorbing the minerals of the volcanic soil and the purity of the Arctic air.

Flavor & Aroma:

Angelica seeds are remarkably complex. They offer a bright, spicy, and floral profile—reminiscent of citrus peel and pepper with a hint of musky sweetness. They are lighter and more aromatic than the root, making them a versatile tool for adding "top notes" to various creations.
