What are fennel seeds
Each plant has its fruits: fennel seeds are precisely the fruits of a wild and spontaneous plant that has grown along the coasts of the regions facing the Mediterranean Sea since time immemorial. Just think, even the ancients were passionate about fennel seeds, which they used in the kitchen but also to prepare herbal teas and decoctions. Already in ancient times, in fact, it was understood that fennel seeds had the ability to facilitate digestion and relieve any sensations of swelling or burning.
And in fact it is like this: despite being very small, these wonderful seeds that La Terra di Puglia collects for you among the Mediterranean scrub that grows spontaneously close to our enchanting blue sea, are also capable of making us feel good. So, what's better than a product that satisfies the palate and the need for well-being at the same time?
