Widely used around the Mediterranean, throughout India and into China, fennel seed is pleasantly sweet and slightly grassy, with a balanced and mild anise flavor. Toast and use whole to add pops of flavor to meats or sauces, or grind to release the lovely sweetness of these seeds. Wonderful in both savory and sweet applications!

Tasting Notes Sweet, Herbal, Vegetal, and Earthy
Pairs Well With Pork, white fish, figs
Special Tips While fennel is not a popular flavor profile in the US due to its association with licorice, we find fennel to be mild, sweet, and wonderful for balancing flavors, without the harshness of licorice.

Botanical Name Foeniculum vulgare
Contains Dried fennel seeds.
