Advantages: They taste good

Disadvantages: none

Can help IBS,Colic,Indigestion. Oestrogen type properties may even help Menopause.

I love fennel seeds, they have a sort of aniseed flavour.
I add them to my Chilli, Bolognese & in anything I think they may compliment.

I first bought them because I had read they are good to have as part of a healthy diet.

You buy them in the small jars that you get other herbs & spices in.

You can Chew them, Add them to cooking or make Fennel tea.

To make Fennel tea, Boil half a teaspoon of the seeds slowly,in a cup of water, for about 10 minutes or more. Strain & either wait to cool & put in the fridge or drink as a warm drink. 3 cups a day is recommended for health.

Because of Oestrogen like properties, it is not recommended for Pregnant women.

In many countries they are chewed after meals to prevent `wind` & stomach upset.

Latin American women chew them, to increase the flow of the milk when breast feeding.

Personally, I love them & it`s a bonus that they have good properties.
