Regal Ground Fennel Seed 3.75 lb.

This Regal ground fennel brings a unique burst of flavor to your Mediterranean, Italian, Chinese and Scandinavian dishes! It's also a great addition to baked goods, marinades, and liqueur. Greenish-brown in color, this ground powder has a sweet, licorice-like flavor and aroma, similar to anise seed, but sweeter and less pungent.

Fennel seed is derived from the dried, ripe fruit of the Foeniculum vulgare, a member of the parsley family. Toasting fennel seeds accentuates their flavor. Add fennel seed to meatballs or meatloaf for an authentic Italian flavor, or saute ground fennel seed with sliced peppers, onion, and sausage for a quick pasta sauce. Fennel goes well with fish and is used in Italian sausages and some curry powder mixes. Regal fennel seed adds depth and a unique anise-like flavor when seasoning seafood, pork, dressings, and bread. It's also great for adding depth to curries and soups. For more info please call REP.
