Fennel powder

Fennel powder is a spice made from grinding dried fennel seeds, which come from the fennel plant. Fennel is a herb with feathery leaves and yellow flowers that grows in regions like the Mediterranean. The seeds have a sweet, licorice-like flavour, and when ground into a fine powder, they can be used to add a subtle aniseed taste to dishes.

To make fennel powder, fennel seeds are harvested from the fennel plant, dried, and then ground into a fine powder using a grinder or mortar and pestle. This process helps to release the seeds' aromatic oils and flavour, creating a versatile spice that can be easily incorporated into various recipes.

Fennel powder is a popular ingredient in many cuisines due to its unique sweet, aromatic taste. It is often used in sausages, curries, soups, and spice blends to add a hint of licorice-like flavour. Fennel powder can also be sprinkled on roasted vegetables, fish, or meat dishes to give them a subtle, earthy taste. This versatile spice is commonly found in Mediterranean, Indian, and Middle Eastern cuisines.
