Whole Fennel for Seasoning- A Sweet, Licorice-Like Flavored herb That can lend an Earthy, Sweet Taste to Dishes

Fennel seeds are harvested from the plant's flowers and then dried. They tend to be pale green to tan in color with an oval shape. Like the fennel bulb, they have a sweet, licorice-like flavor that can lend an earthy, sweet taste to dishes, and they pair especially well with seafood and pork. With a flavor profile that's distinctive and herbaceous, fennel seed is a versatile spice that can be used as a crust for beef or fish fillets. They give a sweet licorice-like taste and scent to curries, stews, bread, desserts, and beverages. In some parts of the world, people chew plain or sugar-coated fennel seeds after a meal. Fennel seeds have traditionally been used in Italian cooking. However, they can be used in all types of food.
