Fennel Seed Oil

Fennel
Botanical Name: Foeniculum vulgare
Origin and Distribution
It is a native of Europe and Asia Minor. It is cultivated
extensively in Northern India as a cold weather crop. It comes
up well in fairly mild climate. The dry and cold weather favours
high seed production. Prolonged cloudy weather at the time of
flowering is conducive to diseases and pests.
Uses
The leaves of fennel is used for garnishing. Leaves and stalks
are used in salads. It is an essential ingredient in Italian
sausages, widely used to sprinkle on pizza. Dried fruits have
fragrant odour and pleasant aromatic taste and therefore used as
a masticatory. They are also used for flavouring soups, meat
dishes, sauces, pastries, confectionaries and liquors. The
fruits are aromatic, stimulant and carminative.
