Fennel seeds are the dried seed of the fennel herb

Fennel seeds look like cumin seeds, only greener.

They have aniseed flavor and a warm sweet aroma.

They can be used on their own or in spice mixes.

They impart a sweet licorice-like taste and scent to curries, stews, bread, desserts and beverages.

Fennel Seeds are  chewed raw or sugar coated after a meal.

Chewing fennel seeds helps digestion and prevents gas.

Fennel seeds contain beta-carotene and vitamin C which is important for collagen production and tissue repair.
