If you enjoy sipping on fennel tea, you're in for a treat by discovering the seeds themselves. Harvested from the hardy fennel plant, which thrives almost anywhere in Israel, these seeds range from sweet and aromatic to spicy and savory. Known both as a healing herb and a flavorful spice, fennel seeds are rich in dietary fiber, antioxidants, and other active compounds that can enhance digestive, heart, and immune health.
Why Chew Them?
- Chewing fennel seeds can invigorate your digestive system, alleviating gas, bloating, constipation, and nausea. Plus, it boosts the secretion of stomach and intestinal juices, improving food absorption.
- For those plagued by sore throats and bad breath, fennel seeds offer relief. They contain active ingredients that combat oral and throat bacteria, helping soothe gum inflammation that might otherwise lead to unpleasant odors.
While fennel seeds can also be consumed as tea or infusion, chewing them maximizes their benefits. However, do keep in mind a few considerations:
- Pregnant or nursing women should consult a doctor before using fennel seeds.
- Those with certain conditions, like active bowel inflammation or kidney stones, should avoid fennel seeds altogether.
- You can chew fennel seeds throughout the day, but it's especially beneficial to do so after meals to aid digestion.
