Is fennel seed vegan?

Fennel seed is a small, oblong-shaped spice that comes from the fennel plant. It has a pale green color and a distinct licorice-like flavor with a slightly sweet aftertaste. Fennel seeds are commonly used in cooking, particularly in Mediterranean, Indian, and Middle Eastern cuisine, and are a staple ingredient in many spice blends. They are also popular in herbal medicine for their digestive and anti-inflammatory properties. Fennel seeds can be added to a variety of dishes, including roasted vegetables, soups, stews, and baked goods, or can be brewed into a fragrant tea.
