Fennel Seeds, Whole

Fennel seeds have a warm, sweet flavour with notes of aniseed and liquorice. They are typically dry fried to enhance their flavour and derive from the Foeniculum Vulgare plant, which is native to the Mediterranean isles.

Used to flavour marinades, dressings and sauces, Fennel Seeds are a common feature in spice blends such as Chinese Five Spice and Indian masala spice mixes. Thanks to their distinguished licorice-like flavour, Fennel Seeds have been used in the production of absinthe, as well as being used to treat a variety of ailments including digestive issues, respiratory problems, and menstrual cramps.

The seeds are baked into Italian breads like focaccia or slow roasted with belly pork and oily fish. Try adding to homemade sauerkraut or chew after a meal to freshen your breath!
