What is Fennel Pollen
Fennel Pollen, sometimes called Fennel Flower, is a spice from Calabria, Italy.
​
Fennel Pollen has become a favourite of chefs and food enthusiasts in recent years. Famed for its wonderful aroma and intense flavour, sprinkling a small amount will enrich the flavour of meat & fish dishes, vegetables, sauces, soups, salads, to name a few.
​
In the same way that seasoning a dish with salt & pepper heightens the overall taste, Fennel Pollen's affect is sweeter, warmer, with notes of liquorice, anise, honey, citrus.
​
But the real magic of Fennel Pollen is its high umami properties. This means that it blends & enriches the ingredients you mix it with.

Can Fennel Pollen be used as a Fennel Seed substitute/alternative
Yes, in the sense that both have a liquorice-like taste. But it does depend on the recipe. The texture is very different. In terms of just flavour, it will work in a lot of cases. Just bear in mind that the pollen is far more potent than the fennel seeds. I would recommend adding the pollen at the end to maintain as much of the flavour as possible. It will absorb into the recipe quickly. Start with a pinch, give it a minute and taste and then go from there
