Fennel Seeds & Powder
Fennel seeds are the dried, small, aromatic fruits of the Foeniculum vulgare herb, a perennial plant belonging to the carrot and parsley family (Apiaceae). While widely referred to as “seeds,” they are botanically the whole dried schizocarps (split fruits) of the plant. They are globally recognized as a premier spice, culinary herb, and raw material for flavor extractions.
