✨ Description

Warm, aromatic, and gently sweet, Fennel Seed is one of nature’s oldest digestive allies — a fragrant carminative herb that soothes the stomach, clears gas, and refreshes the breath.
Revered since ancient Egypt and India, it was cherished as both food and medicine — used after meals to promote digestion, reduce bloating, and balance hormones.

Beyond its culinary grace, Fennel’s cooling and harmonizing nature makes it a go-to herb for women’s wellness, respiratory comfort, and lymphatic flow.
It nurtures the gut, balances hormones, and enhances the body’s natural detox process — all while delighting the senses with its licorice-like flavor.

🌼 Harvest & Sourcing

Our Fennel Seeds are organically cultivated in Egypt and India, where the warm sun and mineral-rich soil create the perfect balance of sweetness and spice.
Harvested when the seeds turn golden, they are shade-dried to preserve their essential oils — especially anethole, the compound responsible for their sweet, soothing aroma and digestive power.
