Fennel Seeds, Sicilian Wild

Growing wild in its natural Mediterranean habitat, we source these seeds from our friends’ small family farm in Ferla, Sicily. Smaller and darker in color than cultivated seeds, this wild fennel is concentrated, sweet, and deeply aromatic. We love it with seafood, potatoes, citrus, and desserts!
