Mc Currie Fennel Seeds are whole, pale green fennel with a sweet, aniseed-like flavour. In Sri Lankan kitchens fennel is one of the spices roasted and ground for curry powder, and it is also added whole to meat and vegetable curries.
The dry range is cleaned, graded, ground and packed at the maker's factory in Makumbura, Pannipitiya, with raw materials and finished products tested in its own laboratory. The pouch carries the Sinhala name of the spice and the line "ISO 22000 Food Safety System Certified".
