I have a fair number of these. I know I can use them in cooking, but
don't
know how! Do I use them whole, or crushed? Do I remove the outer bit?
I
chewed on one today and found it very pleasant, with a hint of lemon.

In India they are put on the table in restaurants and the customers chew
them after the meal. I suppose they are meant to be breath fresheners.


In Indian restaurants in Europe too.

It's Fennel seeds not Coriander that you chew as a digestive and mouth
freshener after a meal in India/Indian Restaurants and normally some are
sugar coated. You can by them in any good Indian grocers. (says he who
shops in Southall for spices etc)

Ahh! I didn't try them so I only accepted what I was told Thanks, Bob.

Apologies to Kathy!
No need to apologise, but could someone *please* answer my question on how
to prepare the seeds? I'm getting nowhere on my own!
