Fennel seed is aromatic and slightly reminiscent of licorice in flavor. The whole seeds are added to soups, sauces and baked goods.

In Italian cuisine, whole fennel seed is the essential ingredient for authentic Italian meatballs and tomato sauce. In India, whole fennel seeds are combined with sesame seeds, coconut flakes and nuts and then roasted and coated with sugar to make a savory-sweet snack known as mukhwa.

Fennel, also called sweet fennel, is an evergreen perennial vegetable and herb in the carrot family. In late summer, the yellow flower stalks yield fragrant, edible seeds that are used for flavoring or are sprouted and eaten in salads.

An infusion of the seed is commonly used to ease colic in infants. In fact, the seed is among the ingredients in the traditional tea known as gripe water that European babies and their mothers have enjoyed for centuries.
