Bell Slice is cut from the hard-shelled bael (bel) fruit, long familiar across India, and dried until the flesh sets into a firm, rust-orange face. Look closely and you see a ring of dark seed chambers circling a fibrous centre, framed by a thin grey-brown rind. Some slices stay flat while others curl upward at the rind into a shallow cup shape, giving the batch a pleasing mix of profiles.
In a potpourri mix these rounds bring warmth and weight. Their colour sits between terracotta and cinnamon, pairing naturally with cones, cinnamon sticks, dried citrus and woody pods. Because the rind is tough, the slices tolerate handling better than most thin fruit cuts, which suits craft workshops, wreath makers and assembly of gift hampers.
Floral Mongers packs Bell Slice loose in weighed bags, naturally dried and supplied without added fragrance. Buyers who build their own scented lines can add fragrance oils later. We supply bulk quantities to importers and potpourri brands and, as a dry flower exporter from India, prepare export cartons with moisture protection for long transit.

Natural variation
Bael fruits vary in size and ripeness, so slices differ in diameter, rind thickness, depth of orange tone and seed-chamber pattern; some curl into cups while others dry flat. These are natural characteristics of handmade and botanical products, not defects; shade, size and grade are confirmed on sample approval.
Care & storage
- Keep dry and away from damp storage areas
- Avoid long exposure to strong sunlight to retain colour
- Store in breathable or sealed containers once opened
- Wipe or brush off dust with a soft dry cloth
