Fennel seeds, also known as aniseed, are the dried seeds of the fennel plant (Foeniculum vulgare Mill.) from the Apiaceae family. The seeds contain essential oils, and fennel seeds are one of the widely used flavoring spices around the world. Fennel seeds are mainly found in regions such as Gansu and Xinjiang in China, India, and other places.
The essential oil contained in fennel seeds primarily consists of components such as trans-anethole, fenchone, limonene, among others. These compounds contribute to the unique aroma and flavor of fennel seeds, which is why they are valued in both culinary and herbal medicinal applications. Trans-anethole is particularly noted for its sweet flavor, reminiscent of anise or licorice, while fenchone carries a more woody and cooling fragrance. Limonene adds a subtle citrus scent to fennel seeds. These components of the essential oil have a wide range of uses in food seasoning, fragrance manufacturing, and traditional medicine.
