Fennel is related to cumin, dill, carraway and anise, all of which bear aromatic fruits that are commonly called seeds. It is native to southern Europe but is now naturalised in northern Europe, Australia and North America and is cultivated around the world. The flavour of fennel is slightly sweet and has a definite licorice-like taste.
Fennel seeds give their taste and scent to soups, sauces, fish dishes, lamb- or potato-based curries, pickles, condiments, breads, cakes, pancakes, desserts, confectionery and drinks. In some parts of the world, people chew plain or sugar-coated fennel seeds after a meal. Chewing fennel seeds is thought to help aid digestion and prevent gas. Fennel seeds may also help prevent or reduce gas in several ways.
Just when you thought fennel couldn’t be paired with anything tastier - the internet gave us a chocolate cake with fennel parfait and candied orange! We’ve tried it and its d-e-l-i-c-i-o-u-s!
