Fennel Seeds
Fennel plants are green and white, with feathery leaves and
yellow flowers.
Both the crunchy bulb and the seeds of the fennel plant have a
mild, licorice-like flavor. Yet, the flavor of the seeds is more
potent due to their powerful essential oils.
Aside from its many culinary uses, fennel and its seeds offer a
wide array of health benefits and may provide antioxidant,
anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial effects.
Benefits
1. Highly nutritious
Both fennel and its seeds are packed with nutrients. Heres the

Fresh fennel bulb is a good source of vitamin C, a water-soluble
vitamin critical for immune health, tissue repair, and collagen
synthesis.
Vitamin C also acts as a potent antioxidant in your body,
protecting against cellular damage caused by unstable molecules
called free radicals.
Both the bulb and seeds contain the mineral manganese, which is
important for enzyme activation, metabolism, cellular protection,
bone development, blood sugar regulation, and wound healing.
Aside from manganese, fennel and its seeds contain other minerals
vital to bone health, including potassium, magnesium, and
calcium.
2. Contain powerful plant compounds
Perhaps the most impressive benefits of fennel and fennel seeds
come from the antioxidants and potent plant compounds they
contain.
Essential oil of the plant has been shown to contain more than *7
volatile compounds, including the polyphenol antioxidants
rosmarinic acid, chlorogenic acid, quercetin, and apigenin.
Polyphenol antioxidants are potent anti-inflammatory agents that
have powerful effects on your health.
Studies suggest that people who follow diets rich in these
antioxidants have a lower risk of chronic conditions like heart
disease, obesity, cancer, neurological diseases, and type 2
diabetes.
Over *8 compounds have been identified in fennel seeds, including
anethole, fenchone, methyl chavicol, and limonene.
3. Fennel seeds may suppress appetite
Fennel seeds may not only add depth and flavor to your recipes
but also help curb appetite.
In 9 healthy women demonstrated that those who drank 8.5 ounces
(**0 ml) of tea made with 2 grams of fennel seeds before eating
lunch felt significantly less hungry and consumed fewer calories
during the meal than those who drank a placebo tea.
Anethole, a major component of fennel essential oil, may be
behind the appetite-suppressing qualities of the plant
4. Can benefit heart health
Eating fennel and its seeds may benefit heart health in a number
of ways, as theyre packed with fiber, a nutrient shown to
reduce certain heart disease risk factors like high cholesterol.
A *-cup (**-grams) serving of raw fennel bulb packs 3 grams of
fiber , *1% of the Daily Reference Value (DRV).
Diets high in fiber have been linked to a reduced risk of heart
disease.
Fennel and its seeds also contain nutrients like magnesium,
potassium, and calcium, which play important roles in keeping
your heart healthy.
5. May have cancer-fighting properties
The wide array of powerful plant compounds in fennel may help
protect against chronic diseases, including certain cancer
Anethole one of the main active compounds in fennel seeds has
been found to exhibit cancer-fighting properties.
One test-tube study showed that anethole suppressed cell growth
and induced apoptosis, or programmed cell death, in human breast
cancer cells.
Another test-tube study observed that fennel extract stopped the
spread of human breast cancer cells and induced cancer cell
death.
Animal studies also suggest that extract from the seeds may
protect against breast and liver cancer.
Although these results are promising, human studies are needed
before fennel or its extract can be recommended as an alternative
treatment for cancer.
6. May benefit breastfeeding women
Fennel has been shown to have galactogenic properties, meaning it
helps increase milk secretion. Research suggests that specific
substances found in anethole, such as dianethole and
photoanethole, are responsible for the galactogenic effects of
the plant.
Fennel may increase milk secretion and blood levels of prolactin
a hormone that signals the body to produce breast milk.
However, other studies found no effect on milk secretion or
infant weight gain. Negative side effects, such as poor weight
gain and difficulty feeding, have also been reported in infants
whose mothers drank lactation teas containing fennel.
For these reasons, breastfeeding women should consult their
healthcare provider before using fennel to stimulate milk
production
7. Other potential benefits
Aside from the benefits mentioned above, fennel and its seeds may
improve your health in the following ways:
May have antibacterial properties. Studies show
that fennel extract inhibits the growth of potentially harmful
bacteria and yeasts, such as Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus
aureus, and Candida albicans.
May reduce inflammation. The powerful
antioxidants in fennel, such as vitamin C and quercetin, can help
reduce inflammation and levels of inflammatory markers.
May benefit mental health. Animal studies have
found that fennel extract may reduce aging-related memory
deficits.
May relieve menopausal symptoms.
Its important to note that many of these studies used
concentrated doses of the plant, and its unlikely that eating
small amounts of fennel or its seeds would offer the same
benefits.
