What does Fennel taste like?
Fennel seeds are oblong in shape and boast a soft green-grey color with a distinct line down the center. These seeds can be used whole or ground, toasted or straight out of the spice jar. Fennel seeds are bold and zesty, slightly sweet accented with warm notes of licorice. This complex, sweet & savory profile makes this unique spice pair well with everything from baked goods to cocktails, sausage, sauces, meat and marinades.
