Fennel is a plant that bears golden yellow flowers and produces small, oval seeds of grayish and light brown color that have a striped surface. Fennel seeds have a slightly sweet flavor, similar to that of anise or licorice.

Fennel seeds are a good digestive aid and have anti-inflammatory and carminative properties. For this reason, they are excellent allies to reduce discomforts such as flatulence, diarrhea and abdominal pain. They even reduce excessive acid secretion and prevent reflux.
