Description

Fennel powder is a spice obtained by grinding the dried seeds of the Foeniculum vulgare plant, commonly known as fennel. This ingredient has a sweet and anise-like aroma, similar to anise and licorice, which gives a distinctive and refreshing flavor to various dishes.

Fennel originates from the Mediterranean region, although today it is cultivated in many parts of the world. In gastronomy, fennel powder is widely used in cooking recipes to flavor breads, stews, marinades, soups, and meats, as well as in infusions and condiments.

Among its properties, fennel powder is valued not only for its flavor but also for its digestive, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant benefits. Traditionally, it has been used to relieve stomach discomfort and promote digestion.

In the Latin American context, fennel powder may have different names or be known in similar variants, such as ground fennel seeds, although the term fennel powder is the most common and recognized in recipes. In some countries, it is simply called powdered fennel.
