Fennel is a dried spice made from the seeds of the fennel plant. It has a mild, sweet taste similar to anise or liquorice. The seeds are small, oval and light green to pale brown in colour.
Fennel is used in both cooking and baking. It adds aroma to sausages, fish dishes, soups and vegetable stews. In baking, it is often added to bread, biscuits and spice mixes. Ground fennel can also be used in marinades and dressings.
The spice works well in warm and cold dishes. It pairs with pork, poultry, cabbage and potatoes. Fennel is also part of many traditional spice blends, including five-spice and some curry powders. A small amount is enough to give a clear flavour.
This fennel is packed in bags. The available packaging options are 250g, 500g, 750g, 1000g and 1500g. The bags protect the seeds from moisture, light and foreign odours. This helps keep the aroma and taste stable during storage.
Store the bags in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight. Close the packaging tightly after each use. Keep the spice away from strong-smelling products. Under these conditions, fennel retains its flavour for a long time.
Fennel in bags suits many users. Cafes and restaurants use it for daily cooking and seasoning. Bakeries add it to bread and pastries. Food production facilities include it in sausages and ready meals. Home cooks value it for soups, stews and baking.
