Fennel Seeds

• Fennel seeds are the dried seeds of the Foeniculum vulgare plant, which is a member of the carrot family. These seeds are native to the Mediterranean region but are now cultivated in various parts of the world. Fennel seeds are commonly used as a spice in cooking and have a sweet, licorice-like flavor.
• These seeds are often employed in both sweet and savory dishes, contributing a unique aroma and taste. In addition to their culinary uses, fennel seeds are also known for their potential health benefits. They may aid digestion, reduce bloating, and have antioxidant properties. Fennel seeds can be used whole or ground, and they are a common ingredient in spice blends, such as Indian curry powder and Chinese five-spice powder. Additionally, they are often chewed after meals in some cultures to freshen breath and aid digestion.
