Recommended Intake & Goals

Chew fennel seeds after meals, or include roasted/raw fennel bulb in baseline recovery meals.

Preparation & Usage Steps

"Chew a pinch of fennel seeds after eating to freshen breath and aid digestion."
"Roast fennel with olive oil and sea salt for a sweet flavor."

Preparation Tips

  • Keep a small container of organic fennel seeds in your kitchen; chew 1/2 tsp of seeds after a heavy meal to instantly ease digestion.
  • Shave raw fennel bulb, toss with orange slices and olive oil, for a refreshing, anti-inflammatory side dish.
