Fennel extract

Fennel extract is a natural ingredient derived from the fennel plant. It is known for its distinct anise-like flavour and aromatic properties. The extract is commonly used in cooking and food production to add a unique taste to dishes.

To make fennel extract, the seeds or plant parts are typically crushed or ground, then soaked in a liquid, such as alcohol or oil, to extract the flavour and beneficial compounds. This extraction process helps concentrate the characteristic taste and aroma of fennel into a potent form that can be easily used in various food products.

Fennel extract is often added to foods for its flavour-enhancing properties. It can be found in a variety of products such as sausages, bread, sauces, and teas. The extract can contribute a subtle licorice-like taste to dishes, enhancing the overall flavour profile. Additionally, fennel extract is sometimes used for its potential digestive benefits due to its natural compounds.
