Great Bazaar Swad Fennel Seeds, 7 Ounce (14 Oz)

I've always bought my spices in the tiny, expensive jars at the grocery. After being chastised by friends that I consider excellent cooks, I decided to try an experiment and ordered these. What a world of difference! The flavor is wonderful. I have learned that spices are more than just filler to add to food.Note--this won't make me a great cook, I can barely handle canned soup--but it will start me on the road to becoming a better cook.

Fennel seeds help to boost breast milk and are said to be anti-colic for the baby. Each day I have boiled water to make fennel tea, my little one has not been crying at night! If you like licorice at all, the tea has a light licorice taste to it. I use 1 tsp to 1Tbs of fennel seeds per cup. It has other health benefits as well.

Chewing these helps me expel gas from my stomach

What a great, big bag of fennel seeds! With the stay-at-home orders in our state to stop the spread of the coronavirus, I haven't been able to get out to our local international store where they sell spices, etc. in bulk for great prices. I ran out of fennel seeds awhile ago, so I finally broke down and ordered these online. They came in a big bag and were green and fresh. I'm not one for licorice, and fennel and fennel seeds smell/taste like licorice (or anise). However, fennel seeds go amazing in ground Italian sausage (I add more than the store or companies already do); it really increases the sausage flavor. They also taste great just adding them to red tomato sauce/marinara. This was a great buy/deal and I'm happy to once again have fennel seeds in my home.

Quality of the product is tops but the packaging could be better. I say that only because when I opened the package it split and I had to transfer the contents to a jar. Luckily I opened the package over a bowl.

Makes a nice tea and very effective for soothing indigestion after meals.

I grind fennel & chia seeds in my small grinder, and sprinkle some in my ceremonial green tea in the morning, along with stevia sweetener, or raw unrefined honey.

I had an empty pepper mill kicking around the spice cabinet and decided to try homemade Italian sausage.To speed things up, I sussed that grinding the seeds might help, then I forgot they were in the mill, and spiced up a couple of other things. It was a good idea. Good quality whole seeds, with lots of flavor.
