Commonly used in Indian cooking, baking, and as a mouth freshener, fennel seeds assist in digestion while adding a refreshing and aromatic note to your dishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c!--story--\u003e\u003c!--faqs--\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"faqs\"\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eWhy do you sell Saunf whole rather than ground?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"a\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe volatile oils that carry aroma start escaping the moment a spice is broken.

A jar kept on the shelf above the hob ages far faster than one in a cupboard.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eHow can I tell whether Saunf is fresh?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"a\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eCrush a little between your fingers and smell it.
