Fennel Seed (Foeniculum vulgare)-Powder

 Fennel is a tall herbaceous plant characterized by its hollow stems and yellow flowers. Known as 'saunf' in India, fennel is known for its aromatic properties. The dried seeds of the fennel herb resemble the greener versions of cumin and have a warm, sweet aroma with a distinct anise flavor. Fennel is a versatile ingredient used in a variety of cuisines, from Indian and Italian to modern fusion cooking. All parts of the fennel plant, including the leaves, seeds, and bulb, are used in cooking.

One of the notable benefits of fennel seeds is their effectiveness in digestive problems. They have the ability to relax the smooth muscles of the gastrointestinal tract, thereby relieving symptoms such as flatulence, bloating, and stomach cramps.

Fennel seed powder can prepare a strong and highly fragrant herbal tea that resembles dried fennel seeds. This tea has a slightly licorice-like taste, accompanied by a soothing aroma and a slightly bitter aftertaste. To prepare fennel tea at home, you can opt for a simple method by adding one or two teaspoons of fennel seed powder to a cup of boiling water. For those seeking more flavor and variety, it is enough to mix one to two tablespoons of fennel seed powder and a slightly crushed piece of ginger in a pot and boil the mixture for three to five minutes. After straining the tea, half a teaspoon of honey can be added, depending on personal preference, to obtain a delicious drink.
