Native to Southern Europe, fennel is an aromatic herbaceous plant in the Apiaceae or carrot family. Some of the largest producers of fennel seeds are Turkey, India, Egypt, and China. The powdered form of the seeds is added to stews, soups, salads, and other food items for flavour. As fennel seed contains antiseptic and anti-ageing properties, it is used in several beauty products. Fennel seeds prevent cell damage and remove toxins from the body.
