$4.00

Fennel ground. Warrior fuel! Roman soldiers are said to have consumed fennel to make them strong and victorious on the battlefield. Today, the fennel plant provides leaves, bulbs and seeds for culinary use, the latter of which are usually dried for use as a spice. The medium sized seeds are a very pale green and can be used whole or ground and when ground the seeds form a coarse sandy coloured powder. Fennel Ground has mild anise flavour and aroma, which rarely overpowers. The seeds can also be roasted revealing a delicate, almost hidden sweetness.
