Fennel seed is one of those hidden gems in the world of herbs. With its soft, anise-like flavor, it adds that little extra something to a variety of dishes, from savory stews to sweet baked goods.
The fennel plant
Fennel seed comes from the fennel plant (Foeniculum vulgare), which thrives mainly in sun-drenched Mediterranean regions. While the plant has large white bulbs and green, feathery leaves, the seeds are prized as a spice for their intense, refreshing flavor. They are small, oval, and have a distinctive anise flavor that is both sweet and subtly spicy.
Fennel seed in the kitchen
From curries to bread, fennel seed is a true flavor enhancer in various cuisines worldwide. Fennel is often roasted or ground to bring out its intense flavor. Want to try fennel yourself? Here are a few fun uses:
Fennel seed in bread: Add a handful of fennel seeds to bread dough for a lightly sweet, spicy touch.
Homemade fennel tea: Make a fresh tea by steeping fennel seeds in hot water. Add a slice of lemon for a deliciously refreshing drink.
Fennel in sauces: Ground fennel seed adds depth to tomato sauces and curries. It’s a must-have ingredient in Indian and Mediterranean cuisine.
In Italy, fennel seed is often added to sausage for a fresh, aromatic flavor. And in India, fennel seed is chewed after meals as a breath freshener.
Fennel seed in YIXIY™
YIXIY™ is fermented with 19 herbs, including fennel seed. Although you won’t directly taste fennel, it subtly enhances the unique formula. The amount of fennel seed per daily 15 ml shot varies depending on the flavor variant:
- Berry: 1.36 mg
- Rosehip: 1.56 mg
- Ginger: 6.81 mg
At a daily dose of 30 mg fennel seed powder, fennel supports urinary tract health¹. However, the amount of fennel seed in YIXIY™ is much lower. So, for these effects, you would need products with at least 30 mg of fennel seed daily.
With a daily dose of 200 mg of fruit powder, fennel also supports the immune system¹ through its antioxidant properties¹ and contributes to a healthy appetite¹. Additionally, fennel supports digestive health¹ and promotes comfort during the menstrual cycle¹ at this dosage. Fortunately, there are plenty of ways to incorporate extra fennel into your daily diet.
While the amount of fennel seed in YIXIY™ is much lower than the amounts used for these specific health benefits, it still adds a nice balance to the herbal blend. As always with YIXIY™, it’s about creating a balanced, unique experience. Which flavor are you trying today?
