Fennel Seed Ground

Ancient Vedic and Greek texts endorsed fennel for its sight-restoring properties and as an antidote to snake bites. In medieval times it was popular thanks to Emperor Charlemagne who insisted it was cultivated on his Imperial farms. Since antiquity the seeds have been used as a condiment by the Romans, Indians and Egyptians. The seeds have a lovely liquorice flavor and are slightly sweet. SUGGESTED USES: Try dry roasting fennel powder and mixing it with mayonnaise as a great alternative to tartar sauce. Fennel goes well with root vegetables, pork, and especially seafood. It is an important ingredient in many south Asian spice blends and flavors cured meats.
