Herbs and spices, like basil, cilantro, and turmeric, enhance dishes with flavor and aroma. They are crucial in global cuisines and offer health benefits. Commonly used in cooking and traditional medicine, they elevate meals and promote well-being.
Fennel seeds are the dried seed of the fennel herb, and look like cumin seeds, only greener. They have an aniseed flavour and a warm, sweet aroma. They can be used on their own or in spice mixes such as Chinese five-spice powder and Indian panch phoran. Use to flavour fish, meat and vegetable dishes, as well as breads and chutneys. You can also chew the whole seeds to freshen your breath, and they’re believed to aid digestion, too.
