Fennel seed
Fennel seed has a very long history, and was believed by ancient cultures to be one of 9 "sacred" herbs. The
Chinese and Hindus used it to cure snake bites, and medieval cultures hung it over doorways to ward off evil
spirits. Fennel's flavor is similar to anise, but more delicate, light, and sweet. It is used frequently in breads, rolls,
and pastries, and is great for sweet pickles, and works well with tomato dishes, and even in curing brines for
salmon or bluefish. Fennel is also a requirement for Italian sausages.
