INCI: Foeniculum vulgare

Fennel Seed (Foeniculum vulgare) is a naturally aromatic seed with a sweet, liquorice-like flavour. It is widely used in cooking, baking, and spice blends, and is also enjoyed as a simple after-meal tea when lightly crushed. The taste is warm and comforting, making it an easy addition to both sweet and savoury recipes. Whole seeds store well and can be crushed as needed for fresher flavour.
