About Fennel
Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare) is an herb with yellow flowers and holds a dominant space in Indian kitchens. Commonly referred to as Saunf, fennel seeds are popular as natural mouth fresheners due to their minty flavor. They are consumed raw, roasted, or with added flavors and are served complimentary after meals in restaurants across India.
Fennel seeds are pale green or brown, long, and thin in shape. They provide a sweet licorice-like flavor to curries, stews, bread, desserts, and beverages. Rich in nutrients such as vitamin C, vitamin A, antioxidants, minerals, and fibers, fennel seeds pack a lot of health benefits in their tiny forms.
