At Shivex International, we supply premium quality Flax Seeds (also known as Linseed), cultivated in the mineral-rich soils of India’s prime agricultural belts. Recognized globally as a nutritional powerhouse, flax seeds are exceptionally rich in Omega-3 fatty acids (ALA), dietary fiber, and lignans.

At SHIVEX INTERNATIONAL, we procure our flax seeds directly from trusted farmer networks and primary mandis across Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Maharashtra.

What are the primary industrial applications for your Flax Seeds?
Our flax seeds are versatile and graded for multiple industries. Premium Sortex-cleaned grades are used directly in commercial baking, health food manufacturing, and retail snacking. Our standard machine-cleaned grades are highly sought after by the cold-pressed oil extraction industry and the premium animal feed sector (particularly for Omega-3 enriched poultry and equine diets).
What purity grades of Flax Seeds does Shivex offer?
We offer customizable purity levels to suit your specific processing needs and budget. Our standard Machine-Cleaned grade offers 99% purity, while our premium Sortex-Cleaned grade guarantees up to 99.9% purity, ensuring absolutely zero foreign matter or admixture for direct human consumption.
What packaging and container stuffing options are available?
For bulk wholesale shipments, we typically pack our flax seeds in 25 kg or 50 kg heavy-duty PP woven bags or multi-wall Kraft paper bags. Because flax seeds are relatively dense, we can efficiently load approximately 19 to 20 Metric Tons (MT) into a standard 20-foot shipping container, maximizing your freight value.
