FENCHA SEEDS

Fennel seeds are known for their strong, heavy and intensely spicy scent that enriches any kitchen. When toasted, their sweetish flavor becomes even more intense, which is why they should be used with care. This versatile spice is valued in numerous international cuisines.

Strong, spicy, with a warm, sweetish note that comes through more when toasted.

Fennel seeds go wonderfully in bread, baked goods, curries and marinades. They can be used as a seasoning for soups and stews or to give vegetable dishes and meat a spicy depth. Toasted and ground, they refine teas or desserts with a pleasant sweetness.

Fennel has been valued in Europe, Asia and the Mediterranean since ancient times. The Romans already used the seeds as a spice and to flavor bread. They are also firmly rooted in Indian and Chinese cooking – in India they are often chewed after meals, plain or candied, for their fresh aroma. Their sweet-spicy aroma has made fennel seeds a staple in spice blends and teas worldwide.
