FENNEL SEEDS
|
|
|
Description:
Fennel is the dried, ripe fruit of a biennial or perennial herb. Fennel is native to the Mediterranean but also grows in other parts of the world. Fresh fennel seeds are vibrant green. They are dried for storage and turn to a dull, greenish yellow. The seeds are small and cylindrical, long and straight or slightly curved and have fine longitudinal lines. The seeds have a warm, sweet and intense flavour.
How to select:
Fennel Seed is the oval, green or yellowish brown dried fruit of Foeniculum vulgare, a member of the parsley family
Use:
Fennel is well known as a digestive aid. Fennel seems to add sweetness to desserts and a special zest to vegetables. Crisp fried sweets are drenched in fennel flavoured sugar syrup. Fennel is also used in pickles and chutneys in North India and a fennel infusion is a delicious base for refreshing drinks. Fresh fennel bulbs or roots are used in Continental and Middle Eastern cooking.
How to store:
In a cool dry place for up to one year.
