Organic fennel seeds: a remedy for the whole body and a perfect ingredient for herbal teas and recipes

Fennel is one of the most common wild plants in our countryside and lands, often accompanied by the adjective "wild" because it is common in fallow fields and arid areas. The fennel plant can reach up to 2m in height when flowering. The dried fruits are used - fennel seeds - aromatic, rich in essential oil (3-5%), whose main component is trans-anethole (60-70%), with which you can make excellent fennel teas or infusions based on fennel.

The umbrellas are harvested in August-September when they turn dark brown. After harvesting the precious fennel umbrellas, they are sifted and dried, with temperatures not exceeding 40°C. Fennel seeds are widely used for food products, considering the digestive properties of Foeniculum vulgare, and in the production of delicious liqueurs, which is why they have been included in the section of our best online spices.

COD WITH FENNEL SEEDS

Ingredients:

• 4 tomatoes
• 4 potatoes
• 1 vegetable broth cube
• 1 tablespoon of fennel seeds
• 700g cod fillets
• Salt
• Pepper

Preparation:

1. First, wash the tomatoes, then plunge them into a pot of boiling water for about 30 seconds, then immediately immerse them in ice water. Now drain them, peel them, cut them in half, lightly crush them to remove the seeds, and finally roughly chop them, perhaps with a knife.
2. Now peel the potatoes, wash them, and cut them into pieces. Then crumble the broth cube in 30 cl of warm water. Put the tomatoes and potatoes in a pan and add the broth and the fennel seeds. At this point, bring to a boil over medium heat, cover the pan, and cook for 20 minutes.
3. Now cut the cod into cubes, season with salt and pepper. Then add the cod cubes to the pan, mix well, cover again, and cook for another five or six minutes, keeping the broth at a slight boil. I recommend serving the cod as soon as it is ready, very hot.
