Fennel Seeds – Foeniculum vulgare

Description

Fennel is an herb in the parsley family that is native to the Mediterranean now naturalized throughout Europe, Asia and North America. The powdered seed lends a mild anise-like flavor and aroma to soups, stews and other foods.

The seeds are also used as a flavoring agent in natural toothpaste. Fennel seeds are also use to season soups, stews and casseroles. May also be encapsulated as a dietary supplement to improve heart health, reduce inflammation, suppress appetite, and even provide anticancer effects.
Check with your doctor before using if you take other medications, have a history of gallbladder disease or a known allergy to plants in the daisy family.
