    Product Details

    Fennel (Saunf) is one of the most useful herbs in an Indian kitchen garden. The feathery fronds flavour curries, the stems add crunch to salads, and the seeds serve as both a cooking spice and an after-meal digestive.

    • Feathery, anise-scented fronds and seeds used daily in Indian cooking and as a digestive.
    • Rich in vitamin C, fibre, potassium, and antioxidants.
    • Provides harvests at multiple stages: leaves, stems, and seeds.
    • Grow it organically in Ugaoo's Organic Veggie Mix, chemical-free saunf at home.
    Germination
    • Seeds sprout in 7–14 days.
    • Keep soil moist during this period.
    • Once sprouts appear, thin to 30–40 cm apart.
    Transplanting

    NA - Fennel dislikes transplanting. Always direct sow where it is to grow.

    Growing
    • Needs 5–6 hours of sunlight daily.
    • Water with a gentle spray when the topsoil feels dry. Fennel prefers moderately moist soil - don't overwater.
    • Use a deep pot (at least 30 cm deep) with drainage holes. Fennel has a deep taproot.
    • Space plants 30–40 cm apart.
    • Feed with cow manure every 20 days. Use neem cake and neem oil spray if pests appear.
    • Keep fennel away from dill, coriander, and tomatoes - it produces compounds that inhibit nearby plant growth.
    Aftercare & Post-Harvest
    • Fennel bolts quickly in rising temperatures. Harvest fronds before flowering for the best flavour.
    • Once it bolts and flowers, harvest fronds immediately - the flavour changes after flowering.
    • Allow some plants to go to seed and collect saunf for cooking and for re-sowing.
    • Sow fresh the following October for the next season.
    Harvesting
    • Fronds are ready in 40–60 days. Snip as needed, leaving the main plant to keep growing.
    • For seeds (saunf), allow flowers to bloom and set seed heads. Harvest when they turn brown and dry.
    • Use leaves fresh for the best flavour - fennel's aroma fades a little when dried.

    Frequently asked questions

    Is Jeera a Fennel seed?

    Jeera seeds (cumin) and fennel seeds are distinct spices originating from different plants, and they bring unique flavors to Indian cuisine. Jeera and fennel seeds may both be staples in Indian cooking, but they're worlds apart in flavor and usage. Jeera, with its warm, earthy taste and hint of bitterness, is a star player in savory dishes. On the other hand, fennel seeds offer a sweet, licorice-like zing, making them perfect for desserts, sweet treats, and even as a refreshing mouth-freshener.

    What is Fennel seeds called in India?

    Fennel seeds, or Saunf as they’re known in India, are loaded with essential nutrients like Vitamin C and are great for digestion. This cooling spice has a sweet-bitter taste and can help with weight management while also keeping bloating, constipation, and colic at bay. Plus, they’re a tasty and refreshing way to end a meal!

    Should I soak Fennel seeds before planting?

    Yes! Soaking fennel seeds before planting is a great idea—it boosts germination and helps them sprout faster. It also softens the seed coat, making it easier for the seeds to absorb water and grow. Just soak them in warm water for 24-48 hours, then let them dry completely before planting in well-drained soil.

    What season do Fennel seeds grow?

    Fennel is a cool-season crop that thrives in spring and fall. Sow seeds in early to mid-spring for a spring crop or in July for a fall harvest by mid-August. Plant in well-drained, nutrient-rich soil and keep it consistently moist. For optimal growth, ensure at least 8 hours of sunlight daily.
