Fennel Seeds

In many parts of India and Pakistan, roasted fennel seeds are consumed as mukhwas, an after-meal digestive and breathe freshener. Fennel leaves are used as leafy green vegetables either by themselves or mixed with other vegetables, cooked to be served and consumed as part of a meal, in some parts of India. In Lebanon, it is used to make a special kind of egg omelette (along with onions, and flour) calledijjeh.
