Whole Fennel Seeds by It's Delish

It's Delish fennel seeds are the perfect choice for your needs. These are carefully chosen and packed and shipped fresh to you. Dried fennel seed is an aromatic, anise-flavored spice, brown or green in color when fresh, slowly turning a dull grey as the seed ages. For cooking, green seeds are optimal. The leaves are delicately flavored and similar in shape to those of dill. The bulb is a crisp vegetable that can be sauteed, stewed, braised, grilled, or eaten raw. Young tender leaves are used for garnishes, as a salad, to add flavor to salads, to flavor sauces to be served with puddings, and also in soups and fish sauce. Fennel seeds are sometimes confused with those of anise, which are similar in taste and appearance, though smaller. Fennel is also used as a flavoring in some natural toothpaste. The seeds are used in cookery and sweet desserts. Fennel seeds are the primary flavor component in Italian sausage. Dill, coriander, and caraway are similar-looking herbs, but shorter-growing than fennel. Try all our spices and herbs, you'll love 'em!
