Fennel seeds

Fennel seeds have a mild sweet, licorice-like flavor and are widely used after meals for digestion. They help relax the digestive tract muscles, which reduce bloating, gas, and stomach cramps. This makes them especially helpful after heavy meals. They also stimulate healthy digestion and help reduce acid discomfort in some people. Fennel seeds contain antioxidants and compounds that may support hormonal balance and help reduce inflammation. They are also traditionally used to support fresh breath due to their antimicrobial properties.
