Fennel Seed Whole

Fennel is a dynamic, perennial herb from the Apiaceae family, easily recognised by its vibrant yellow flowers and feathery leaves. Originating from the Mediterranean, fennel has spread its roots worldwide, flourishing in dry, coastal soils and along riverbanks.

These dried seeds pack some punch when it comes to flavour, especially if you grind them into a powder or toast them whole. Their versatility makes them essential in kitchens around the globe, bringing a unique taste to a variety of dishes from European to Middle Eastern cuisines and beyond.

How are fennel seeds used?

Whole fennel seeds are a staple in any kitchen. Toast them lightly to unlock their sweet, aromatic notes, or grind them into a powder to add some depth and complexity to your recipes. These seeds are perfect for baking into Italian breads like focaccia, adding a delightful aromatic touch. They also shine when slow-roasted with belly pork or oily fish, infusing these dishes with a rich flavour.

In Indian culture, it is common to chew on fennel seeds after meals as a natural breath freshener.

Beyond the kitchen, fennel seeds have long been used for their potential digestive benefits. They are commonly used to help with bloating, gas, and indigestion, making them a popular choice in natural remedies.
