Organic whole fennel
Fennel (Misreya, Madhurika) has a sweet, spicy, and bitter flavor (rasa). According to Ayurvedic understanding, it is said to slightly stimulate Agni. Fennel seeds have a calming effect on Vata and Pitta. Their slightly sweet taste has been familiar to many infants and nursing mothers for generations.
Fennel seeds are used as tea or spice.
