Fennel Seeds

Fennel seeds are the dried fruits of the fennel plant and are known for their elongated shape, greenish to light brown colour and sweet aromatic character. They have a distinctive flavour often described as mildly sweet with an anise-like note. When crushed or ground, their characteristic aroma becomes more pronounced. Fennel seeds are widely used as a culinary spice in breads, baked goods, spice blends, sauces and various savoury dishes. They are also commonly used in herbal infusions and tea mixtures. The seeds may vary naturally in colour, size and shape depending on the plant and growing conditions. Their combination of sweetness, aroma and warm spice character makes fennel a recognizable ingredient in both culinary and botanical applications across different food traditions.
