About This Food

Description

Fennel seeds found in the fennel plant create an anise flavored spice that is not only a flavor enhancer but a great dietary supplement. This antibacterial and anti-inflammatory spice is a great resource after a meal: it not only freshens breath, it can help stimulate digestion while creating a feeling of satiation and preventing the formation of gas.

Fennel seeds have an array of antioxidants that help prevent free radicals, fight disease, and prevent degenerative reactions. The vitamins and minerals found in the concentration of fennel seed spice promote blood purification as well as aid in menstrual relief.
