Herb & Spice Fact of the Day

Fennel has previously featured on this blog as New Veggie #7. This time it appears not as a green bulb, but as the seed. 

Fennel is a highly aromatic and flavorful herb. The seeds have a sweet, anise-like flavor and are often used as a spice. More often, fennel seeds are consumed raw as an after-mint because of their digestive and medicinal qualities.
