Organic Crushed Fennel Seeds

Description

Fennel seeds come from the fennel plant and are widely used in many of the traditions of the world. Dried fennel seed has an aromatic, anise-like flavor and is sometimes confused with aniseed. The seeds turn brown or green in color when fresh, then as the seed ages it slowly turns a dull grey color. The green seeds are optimal for cooking. Fennel seeds work well in a wide variety of foods ranging from breads, pastries and other baked goods. Whether whole, crushed or ground to a powder, fennel seeds complement many other spices and can be used as a dry rub to make a very tasty crust on fish and meat when roasted or grilled.
