Uses in Cooking:
The deliciously aniseed and refreshing taste of fennel seeds enhances a variety of dishes. They bring a note of freshness to baked fish, squid with tomatoes and garlic, as well as to numerous vegetables like ratatouille, tomato coulis, stuffed vegetables, and even certain meats like chicken.
It's best to add fennel seeds to your dish at the beginning of cooking so that the juices from the food allow the seeds to soften and release their unique flavor! The characteristic aroma of fennel evokes summer and the cicadas of Provence...!
Fennel seeds are rich in anethole, which gives them their characteristic scent, and these seeds are also used in the production of anise-flavored spirits, such as pastis.
Who am I?
Origin: Egypt
Scientific name: Foeniculum vulgare
Common name: Common fennel
In herbal teas, fennel seeds aid digestion. Fennel shares this property with star anise and green anise, which can be perfectly combined in herbal teas.
Sweet fennel (the one offered here) is a large perennial herb native to the Mediterranean basin, belonging to the Apiaceae family (Umbelliferae), which has naturalized worldwide, primarily in areas with a Mediterranean climate. The leaves are finely divided and thread-like. The plant generally flowers from July to October with umbels of white flowers. The entire plant has a strong and delightful anise scent.
In regions where it thrives, such as the Mediterranean area, it is sometimes considered a weed because it can quickly become very invasive!
Fennel is rich in vitamins A, B, C, and E, as well as minerals, and of course, anethole.
A Little History:
Fennel was already used in ancient times by the Egyptians, and later by the Greeks and Romans. It is abundant on the island of Madeira, where it gave its name to the capital, Funchal.
It is still widely cultivated today for both its medicinal and culinary qualities.
