Also called "soonf" or "saunf", these have a warm aroma and a sweetish taste like aniseed. Tastes great with seafood, pork, stuffings, sauces, pickles and some curries. In India it is chewed as a natural breath freshener and as an aid to digestion.

Fennel seeds come from the plant Foeniculum Vulgare Dulce. As the "dulce" in its name suggests fennel has a sweetish taste and a mild aniseed flavour. The flavour is enhanced by dry roasting the seed or frying it in the early stages of cooking a curry.
