Why Semi exists
Why women stop Seed Cycling;
and how Semi fixes it
Seed cycling pairs specific seeds with each phase of your cycle: flax and pumpkin in the first half, sesame and sunflower in the second. The practice is simple. The hard part is keeping it up, day after day, month after month.
Our founder, Sahasra, experienced this first-hand. She created Semi to make consistency effortless.

Recommended
Keep going for 3 months
Seed cycling works with your body's rhythm, so it settles in over a few cycles. That's why we recommend three months: on the 3-month plan, a fresh box arrives every 28 days.
Irregular or no periods?
Follow the moon instead
Eat Purple Semi from new moon to full moon, and Pink Semi from full moon to the next new moon. The moon gives your body a steady monthly rhythm to follow while your own cycle finds its way. It suits perimenopause and menopause too.

What makes it a treat
Dates
Key nutrients
Natural sugars, fibre, potassium

-

Cocoa
Key nutrients
Magnesium, iron, fibre
Why it's in Semi
- Gives Semi its rich, chocolatey taste.

-
What makes it a treat
Gond katira
Key nutrients
Natural plant gum (a soluble fibre)
Why it's in Semi
- A natural plant gum that binds the seeds and dates into a bar, so we don't need artificial binders.
- In India, gond katira is a traditional summer ingredient, soaked into drinks for its cooling feel.
- Like other plant fibres, it isn't absorbed whole: your gut bacteria partly ferment it.
- Europe's food safety authority found no safety concern for the general population.

-
What makes it a treat
Oat extract
Key nutrients
From oats, a whole grain
Why it's in Semi
- Adds a smooth texture and a mild, rounded taste.
- Oats are a whole grain, known for a soluble fibre called beta-glucan.
- Soluble fibre adds to your daily fibre and helps you feel full.

What makes it a treat
Cinnamon
Key nutrients
Natural plant compounds (polyphenols)
Why it's in Semi
- Adds warmth and a naturally sweet flavour, so the bar tastes sweet without refined sugar.
- Cinnamon naturally contains plant compounds called polyphenols, which act as antioxidants.
- It is safe in the small amounts used in food, like the pinch in every Semi.

What makes it a treat
Pink salt
Key nutrients
Sodium, plus trace minerals
Why it's in Semi
- A small pinch balances the sweetness of the dates.
- Pink salt holds tiny amounts of minerals like calcium, potassium and magnesium, which give it its colour.
- Honestly, those amounts are too small to matter, and it is mostly sodium chloride, so we use very little. Every Semi bar has under 85 mg of sodium.

Why I made Semi
Every woman deserves to embrace her womanhood, in every moment of her life.
I saw it in the women around me: friends, sisters, my own mother. Every month, being a woman turned into something to suffer through. Cramps, mood swings and tired days had quietly become “normal”.
I didn’t believe it had to be that way. To me, caring for your cycle is a simple act of self-love, and feeling at home in your body shouldn’t depend on the time of the month.
Seed cycling made sense, but the daily grinding didn’t last. So I made it easy: one bar a day, made from real food, so looking after yourself never feels like another chore. And because caring for women shouldn’t cost the earth, we pack every order without plastic wherever we can.

FAQ
Seed cycling questions, answered
About seed cycling
What is seed cycling?
Seed cycling is a food-based practice that pairs different seeds with the two halves of a woman's cycle: flax and pumpkin seeds from day 1 to 14, and sesame and sunflower seeds from day 15 to 28. Semi makes it easy, with the right seeds already in one ready-to-eat bar a day.
Which pack should I start with?
Most women start with a Monthly Pack of 30 bars: Purple for days 1–14, then Pink for days 15–28. Not ready for a full month? Try the Purple or Pink pack for the phase you’re in. Love variety? Build Your Monthly Pack lets you pick your flavours.
How long should I try Semi?
We recommend the 3-month plan, so the habit has time to settle in. Seed cycling works with your monthly rhythm, and every woman's experience is different.
My periods are irregular, or I don't get periods. Can I still use Semi?
Yes. Follow the moon instead: Purple Semi from new moon to full moon, and Pink Semi from full moon to the next new moon. It works through perimenopause and menopause too.
Can I eat Semi if I have a health condition such as PCOS or thyroid issues, or if I'm on the pill?
Semi is a food made from seeds, dates and spices, with no refined sugar. It isn't a treatment for any condition and doesn't replace medical care. If you have a health condition, take medication, or are pregnant or breastfeeding, please talk to your doctor before adding it to your routine.
Does Semi contain sugar?
Semi has no refined sugar. The sweetness comes from dates, and in our Signature range also from real fruit or dark chocolate, so natural sugar varies a little by flavour. You’ll find the exact amount on each product page.
What if I miss a day or eat the wrong colour?
Don't worry. Just carry on with the right colour for that day of your cycle. Seed cycling works through consistency over time, so a missed day or a mix-up won't undo anything.
Can men and kids eat Semi?
Yes. Semi is a food made with seeds, dates and real ingredients, so anyone can enjoy it. Our Monthly Packs are sorted by phase for women who follow seed cycling. Want to try a few first? The Semi Edit lets you pick any 5 bars, with free shipping. If anyone has a peanut or sesame allergy, please check the ingredient list first.
