Fennel Seed

With its licorice-like flavor, fennel seed plays a starring role in French cooking and a background role in countless curries and spice rubs. Try it in our Sweet Potato and Shallot Casserole with Fennel Seed, Cracked Potatoes with Vermouth, Coriander and Fennel or crush with equal parts chilies, peppercorns and coarse salt as a spice rub for pork or chicken.
