It was considered a sacred herb in medieval Europe. Fennel seeds spread eastwards via the Silk Road to Persia, India, and China. In South Asia, fennel became an essential part of Ayurvedic medicine and everyday cuisine. The Mukhwas tradition (sugar‑coated or roasted fennel seeds) developed as a post‑meal digestive and mouth freshener. Today, fennel is a pantry staple in Pakistan, India, and Bangladesh, used in spice blends (garam masala, panch phoron), pickles, curries, and teas.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"brand-line\"\u003e✨ Spices.pk – Authenticity you can taste.
