Fennel seeds have for centuries been loved for their mild licorice-like aroma and versatile use in both cooking and traditional culture. In Indian cuisine fennel seeds are known as saunf and are often used as an aromatic finish to meals, both for digestion and as a mouth freshener. You can find them roasted, sugar-coated or completely raw – from street stalls to fine restaurants.
In spice blends such as panch phoron from eastern India and garam masala, fennel seeds are used to balance heat and intensity with their sweetness and fragrance. In South Asia they are indispensable in curries, dal and pickles, while in Persia and the Middle East they are often included in baked goods and tea blends.
