All parts of the fennel plant (seed, bulb and pollen) feature prominently in authentic Italian cooking. Fennel seed pairs well with many foods from the Indian spice blend panch phora and chinese five-spice to Italian sausage and certain liquors (most notably absinthe and aquavit). Add a bit of fennel to fish, seafood and marinara sauce to for a gourmet touch.
Spices and herbs should be stored away from light, heat and moisture. However, storing spices in the refrigerator or freezer may actually shorten their shelf life and they risk picking up other food odors. In general, whole spices have a longer shelf life than ground spices. Depending on the spice and how well it is stored, a good rule of thumb is six months to a year for powdered spices and longer for whole spices and seeds. The best way to determine if your spices or herbs are still fresh is to close your eyes and sniff – if you cannot immediately tell what the herb or spice is, toss it!
