Fennel  (Foeniculum vulgare) is a feathery, hollow stemmed perennial in the same family as carrots, celery, parsley, coriander and dill. It is native to the Mediterranean region of Europe, North Africa, the Middle East and parts of Western Asia and is known as a common staple in the culinary and medicinal traditions of these regions and beyond. The part of the plant most commonly used in herbalism and cooking is known as the fennel seed, even though it is technically the fruit. Fennel seed is prized for its aromatic, anise-like flavor to add sweet earthiness to foods and tea blends. The volatile oils in Fennel seed have known carminative, anti-spasmotic properties and it has been used for centuries to ease common digestive complaints like gas and bloating, nausea and constipation. Fennel seed can be decocted or tinctured on its own, or added to tea blends, foods or recipes for digestive bitters.  Common names: Fennel, fenkel, sweet fennel Precautions: No known precautions.
