Organic Fennel Whole 60g

Organic Fennel Seeds have a delicate and subtle anise-like flavour, that is suited to cooking savoury foods. The full flavour is released if you gently toast the whole seeds before using them. It is common to be offered fennel seeds after a meal in India to both freshen the breath and to aid digestion. Fennel tea is recommended for people with digestive problems like heartburn, bloating, and loss of appetite. And, breastfeeding mums drink the mildly licorice-flavoured fennel tea to relieve their baby's colic.

Toasted fennel seeds can be sprinkled through potato salad or added to soft cheeses and the flavour works a treat in bean soups. A small quantity of fennel seeds makes a tasty addition to fish soup and stock, meatballs, and meat sauces and fennel pairs beautifully with pork. If you are planning to make some pickled cucumbers or traditional German sauerkraut, you'll need some fennel seeds.
