Originating in the Mediterranean, fennel dates back to the ancient Romans and Greeks, and has long been used as a traditional herbal medicine in China and Europe. Fennel seeds freshen your breath and promote digestion, and make a great nursing tea if you have a colicky infant. Fennel has a warm, sweet flavor similar to licorice and anise, ideal for both sweet and savory dishes. Use it for teas, spice blends, breads, and cookies. If you make your own sausage or meats, fennel is a great addition!
