Gregg's Fennel Seeds
The fennel plant is native to southern Europe and Asia and is
related to parsley. In early autumn, the perennial herb is a mass
of golden flowers and the flower heads are collected and dried
before the seeds ripen.
The flavour of fennel seed is like liquorice, sweet, and with a
slightly bitter aftertaste. The seeds are used traditionally to
complement fish, breads, pork and in curries from India and
Malaysia.
