Fennel Seed has a delicate flavor; light and sweet, similar to anise.
The seed is often used with fish dishes. It can be used in a curing mix for salmon or bluefish. Some cultures add it to cheese. Good Italian sausage absolutely requires fennel. Ground fennel adds a mysterious element to a marinara or tomato sauce,which will go with any type of pasta.
Fennel has always been considered an aid to digestion, and many people still drink fennel tea.
