Collection: Halim (Lepidium Sativum Linn) – Seeds, Extracts, Oils & Powders

Wholesale Halim Seeds in every format your formulation needs — sourced, processed, and shipped to Canada by TheWholesalerCo.

Halim (Lepidium sativum Linn), known across India as Halim, Aliv, Chandrashoor, and Garden Cress, is one of the most nutrient-dense small seeds in the traditional Indian pantry — a true functional food that has quietly become a modern superfood. Its tiny reddish-brown seeds are exceptionally rich in natural plant iron, protein, folate, omega-3 fatty acids (alpha-linolenic acid), dietary fiber, and a unique mucilage fraction that swells dramatically on hydration. Long used in Ayurvedic postpartum formulations, lactation support blends, and classical rasayana preparations, Halim has seen a rapid revival in functional foods, iron-deficiency nutraceuticals, lactation support, hair-care supplements, and weight-management categories. Whether you're developing a plant-iron supplement, a lactation cookie mix, a postnatal recovery blend, or a hair-growth nutraceutical, TheWholesalerCo offers Halim in every format the modern formulator needs — from whole seeds to supercritical CO2 extracts.

Shop Halim by Form

Whole Halim Seeds (Garden Cress Seeds)

Cleaned, graded, sun-dried Lepidium sativum seeds — small, oval, and deep reddish-brown, with the characteristic mucilage that forms a gel coat within seconds of contact with water. The preferred raw material for buyers who want to process in-house, manufacture traditional laddoos and postnatal recovery preparations, run cold-pressing operations for seed oil, or maintain full control over milling and extraction. Ideal for functional food manufacturers, traditional Ayurvedic formulators, contract oil pressers, and extractors working directly from source material.

Halim Seed Powder

Finely milled whole-seed powder, mesh-graded to your specification. A workhorse ingredient for capsules, tablets, iron-deficiency blends, lactation support mixes, postnatal churnas, smoothie and beverage premixes, and hair-care nutraceuticals. Shelf-stable and the simplest way to deliver Halim's full nutritional and mucilage profile — iron, protein, folate, and omega-3s — in a single ingredient.

Halim Solvent-Based Extract

Concentrated powdered extract produced with food-grade solvents. Available in standardized ratios and, on request, standardized to total polyphenols, glucosinolates, or specific bioactive markers. The go-to form for specialty nutraceutical brands and formulators where label claims, dosage accuracy, and consistency matter.

Halim CO2 Extract

Supercritical CO2 extraction delivers a solvent-free, highly concentrated extract that preserves the full spectrum of heat-sensitive bioactives and the seed's native phytochemistry. A specialty form for clean-label premium nutraceuticals, functional foods, and brands marketing "green extraction" on the front of the pack.

Halim Seed Oil (Cold-Pressed)

Cold-pressed from Lepidium sativum seeds, this specialty oil is naturally rich in alpha-linolenic acid (omega-3), along with oleic and linoleic acids — making it a rare plant-based omega-3 carrier oil. A niche but rising ingredient in premium nutritional oils, hair-care blends, and specialty cosmetic systems. Available in culinary, nutraceutical, and cosmetic grades on request.

Halim Mucilage (Soluble Fiber Extract)

A concentrated mucilage fraction isolated from Halim seeds — a rich source of soluble fiber and galactomannan-type polysaccharides. Used as a natural thickener, gut-health functional ingredient, and clean-label alternative to synthetic thickeners in food and nutraceutical systems. Available in multiple purity grades on request.

Halim Oil (Classical Taila)

Prepared in line with Ayurvedic texts — Halim decoction cooked into a base oil until the water phase evaporates. Traditionally used in classical postpartum care, warming body oils, and traditional Ayurvedic topical applications. Ideal for premium Ayurvedic brands and wellness ranges building on traditional Chandrashoor therapies.

Halim Infused Oil

Whole seeds slowly infused into a carrier oil (sesame, coconut, almond, or custom base on request). A label-friendly option for brands building "infused in" narratives without solvent extraction complexity. Popular in postnatal body oils, warming abdominal blends, and specialty Ayurvedic formulations.

Halim Oil-Soluble Extract

A lipophilic extract designed to disperse cleanly into oils, balms, butters, and anhydrous systems. If you're formulating a specialty hair-care balm, a postnatal recovery oil, or an anhydrous system where you want Halim's actives in a controlled, ready-to-blend format, this is the form to choose.

Halim PG Extract (Propylene Glycol)

A liquid extract in a propylene glycol base — pre-solubilized and ready to blend into toners, scalp serums, hair tonics, and water-based cosmetic systems. Saves formulation time and delivers uniform distribution of Halim actives across aqueous and surfactant phases — particularly valuable in hair-care formulations leveraging the seed's long-standing reputation for hair health.

Halim Glycerine Extract

A liquid extract in vegetable glycerine — the clean-label, paraben-free, PG-free alternative. Perfect for natural and organic skincare brands, functional beverages, lactation support drinks, and gentle water-based formulations where a soothing humectant carrier is a formulation bonus rather than a compromise.
