FENNEL SEED, WHOLE

Indigenous to southern Europe, this perennial is one of the oldest cultivated plants. The Romans would eat the shoot as a vegetable and the Chinese and Indians used it to help with the digestion of food. Even today in India they are using fennel water to treat babies with colic.

All parts of the fennel plant can be eaten, but it’s the seeds, or dried fruits of the plant, generating the most culinary interest thanks to their warm, anise-like aroma and fresh, slightly sweet flavor.

Fennel is now cultivated in almost every temperate climate on earth. Spice Islands sources exceptional whole fennel from India with the greenish-yellow color indicative of high-quality seeds. As a result, you’ll find its flavor and aroma provides your dishes with the best taste possible.
