Fennel Seed Powder (Sold In Bulk)

Fennel powder is made by grinding fennel seeds into a fine, aromatic powder. Fennel itself is a flavorful herb with a mild, slightly sweet taste that’s often compared to anise or licorice. It's widely used in cooking, especially in Mediterranean, Indian, and Middle Eastern cuisines. The powder form of fennel has all the same flavor and health benefits as the seeds but is more convenient for adding to dishes.
