Bremerhaven Market Overview
Bremerhaven handles bulk fiber imports through its Container Terminal. German bakery sector uses psyllium as dough conditioner and moisture retention agent. Food Grade 85% moves in 20ft containers, mostly to Bremen and Hamburg processing units. Buyers here prefer this grade over 95% for industrial bread production because cost matters more than color in final baked goods. Port clears phyto docs in 2-3 days. Most shipments go to mills within 100km radius. Demand picks up September through March when bakery production increases.

Food Grade 85% Specifications
This grade contains maximum 10% moisture, minimum 85% purity with up to 15% admixture. Mesh size 60-100, color white to off-white. The 15% foreign matter tolerance makes it cheaper than pharmaceutical grades but works fine for bakery use because baking process masks color variations. Higher moisture limit means lower drying cost at origin. For bread improvers, the fiber content matters more than perfect color. This spec meets EU food safety standards for cereal products.

Pricing and Value
Food Grade 85% costs 20-25% less than 95% pharmaceutical grade. For bakery use, the lower purity works because final product color doesn't matter in bread dough. You save on processing and still get the fiber functionality. Freight to Bremerhaven runs $1,200-$1,400 per container depending on season. Buyers reselling to mills get decent margin because German bakeries pay premium for fiber additives but don't need pharma-grade purity.
Frequently Asked Questions
What moisture level does Food Grade 85% Psyllium Husk have?
Maximum 10% moisture content. This higher moisture limit compared to pharmaceutical grades reduces drying costs at origin, making it more cost-effective for bakery applications where slight moisture variation doesn't affect final product quality.
Why choose 85% purity for bakery and bread improvers?
The 85% purity with 15% admixture tolerance costs 20-25% less than 95% grades. For bread production, the fiber functionality remains the same, and baking process masks any color variations. You get the dough conditioning benefits without paying for pharmaceutical-grade purity.
