Dried Fennel – Use for Better Taste | United Spicefruit

[marksmith19985]

The seeds of the fennel plant, which are used as a spice in cooking, are produced by a perennial plant that also produces flowers. There are culinary uses for both the root and the stem of the fennel plant. The dried fennel were eaten during church fasting days in medieval Europe in order to quell hunger. Additionally, fennel was utilized as a breath refresher during these times. Fennel has a taste that is comparable to that of anise or licorice, but one that is often not as strong.
