Fennel seeds are a mild appetite suppressant and are good for treating upset stomachs and indigestion.
Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare) is in the same plant family as carrots and parsley. They are packed with goodness and contain vitamins A and C as well as calcium and potassium. Dried fennel seed is an aromatic, anise-flavored spice.
Fennel seeds have similar properties to the female hormone oestrogen and have been used for centuries to promote lactation.
