Fennel seeds come from the fennel plant and are widely used in many of the traditions of the world. Dried fennel seed has an aromatic, anise-like flavor and is sometimes confused with aniseed. The seeds turn brown or green in color when fresh, then as the seed ages it slowly turns a dull grey color. The green seeds are optimal for cooking. Fennel seeds work well in a wide variety of foods ranging from breads, pastries and other baked goods. Whether whole, crushed or ground to a powder, fennel seeds complement many other spices and can be used as a dry rub to make a very tasty crust on fish and meat when roasted or grilled.

FAQ
How old are these spices?
We purchase what we need every year right after the spices are harvested. These spices are as fresh as you can get. They are not sitting in a warehouse for multiple years. The oldest spices we carry will be one year old compared to the commodity market which warehouses spices for 10+ years before selling them to you.
Are these spices certified organic?
Unfortunately we do not have any certifications at this time but most of our spices are organically grown and all of them are non gmo. Each ingredient can be traced back to its origin. Email support@spicetribe.com for any questions.
