Fennel

Fennel seeds, used traditionally in India as an after mint and for digestive purposes, soothe the stomach and aid in digestion. They have a sweet taste and a very distinctive aroma that immediately calms you down.

I also like fennel bulbs to cook with, and often use chunks of fennel in a mixed vegetable medley of broccoli, yam, squash and fennel.

Enjoy fennel seeds as a mouth freshener or simply to curb cravings for sweets. You can find different forms of fennel seeds like roasted fennel seeds, raw fennel seeds and also sugar coated fennel seeds. These are popularly available in Indian grocery stores. You can find Indian grocery stores on Lexington and 28th Street or Jackson Heights in NYC.

I also enjoy a great tasting Fennel Tea made by a brand called Alvita Tea.
