Fennel Seeds – Photo and Description from Vegan Venue
Fennel Seeds are a vegan pantry ingredient that we use to flavor various recipes, particularly pasta sauces.
About Fennel Seeds:
We use fennel seeds mostly for flavoring in some of our recipes, particularly in pasta sauce. It has a mild licorice or anise type odor, and is often mistaken for anise. Actually, fennel seeds are not really seeds; They are actually the fruit of the sweet fennel plant. This herb has been cultivated for culinary use for thousands of years, and most cooks have referred to the fruit as “seeds”, since they are small and usually sold in a dry form which looks exactly like a seed. They are available in most supermarket seasoning sections or from health food stores or coops. See the nutritional chart below.
