From Seed to Shipment

SEVEN STEPS.
ONE STANDARD.

Every lot that leaves under the Praveda name travels through the same rigorous journey. This is how psyllium is done right.

From Seed to Shipment

Seven steps. One standard.

Every lot that leaves under the Praveda name travels through the same rigorous journey. This is how psyllium is done right.

Cultivation and Harvesting
01
Sourced at Origin

Premium Plantago ovata seed — sown in Gujarat's dry winter fields, harvested at peak maturity in the morning after dew evaporation to minimise shattering. Threshed, winnowed, and sorted before anything else touches it. The supply chain starts here, not at a warehouse.

"We don't buy finished product. We start at the seed."
Primary Cleaning and Grading
02
Cleaned Before It's Processed

Every incoming seed lot passes through vibratory separators, air classifiers, and de-stoners before a single gram enters the mill. Dust, stones, and debris are removed at the source — not managed downstream. Seeds are then graded by size and weight for consistent input quality.

De-husking
03
Separated, Not Broken

Husk is separated from the seed core using controlled-impact stud mills — mechanical precision that fractures the outer coating cleanly without grinding the husk into fragments. The integrity of the fibre is preserved at this stage. There are no shortcuts here.

"The integrity of the fibre is set at this step — and we don't compromise it."
Purification
04
Separated by Weight, Verified by Eye

Gravity separators and precision air classifiers pull light husk away from heavier seed fragments. What remains goes through optical sorting — every discoloured or irregular particle caught and removed before the grade is declared. Purity at this stage determines the final husk content percentage.

Milling
05
Milled to Your Mesh

For powder grades, purified husk enters temperature-controlled mills — heat buildup managed throughout to preserve natural colour and fibre integrity. No chemical bleaching or acid treatment. Output is sieved through calibrated micron screens to your specified mesh size. 40 mesh to 200 mesh — matched to your formulation, not estimated.

"The mesh you specify is the mesh you receive. Verified by sieve analysis."
Quality Control
06
Tested Before It Leaves

Every batch is lab-tested before packing — purity, moisture, swell volume, microbial limits, heavy metals, aflatoxins, pesticide residues. The COA you receive reflects that specific lot, not a generic standard. Optional independent third-party inspection available through SGS, Bureau Veritas, or Intertek. Nothing ships until the numbers are confirmed.

"The certificate you receive matches the cargo you receive. Every time."
Packaging and Export
07
Packed, Validated, Shipped

QC-passed product packed in food-grade bags to your specified weight — 10kg, 25kg, or 50kg. Each bag weighed, sealed, and batch-coded. Container loading validated for temperature and humidity before doors close. Full export documentation — COA, phytosanitary, origin certificate, bill of lading — prepared and shared with you before the shipment moves.

"You see the documents before the container sails. No surprises."
