Fennel Spice Introduction  

Fennel spice is derived from the dried seeds of *Foeniculum vulgare*, an aromatic herb in the Apiaceae family. It is characterized by small, oval seeds with a greenish-brown to yellowish hue, a sweet licorice-like aroma, and a warm, slightly bitter flavor—milder than anise. Native to the Mediterranean, fennel is now cultivated globally for its culinary versatility and medicinal properties. The seeds retain their fragrance and flavor when dried, making them a popular spice across diverse cuisines.  

Fennel spice is used in both savory and sweet dishes worldwide. In savory cooking, it enhances soups, stews, curries, sausages (e.g., Italian fennel sausage), and pickles. For sweet preparations, it is added to baked goods like breads and cookies, as well as candies and herbal teas. Beyond culinary uses, it is valued in traditional medicine for digestive benefits (alleviating bloating and indigestion), as a throat soother, and as a natural mouth freshener. It also features in alcoholic beverages like ouzo and pastis, contributing to their anise-like taste.
