Fennel Seed

Fennel seeds are small oval ridged seeds - light green to yellowish-brown with a sweet licorice-like aroma when crushed. They deliver a warm sweet-anise flavor with subtle peppery and citrus notes - mildly spicy and refreshing. The taste lingers sweetly without bitterness. Great for sausage bread pickles tomato sauces fish or roasted veggies. Toast lightly to enhance sweetness then use whole or ground in spice blends teas or curries. Pairs with garlic onion chili coriander or cumin.
