Foeniculum vulgare, called
common fennel, is an upright, branching perennial that is typically grown in
vegetable and herb gardens for its anise-flavored foliage and seeds, both of
which are commonly harvested for use in cooking. It somewhat resembles a very
large dill plant. It grows to 3-5’ (less frequently to 6’) tall and features
feathery, compound, aromatic, yellow-green leaves with needle-like segments and
tiny yellow flowers in large, flattened, compound umbels. Flowers bloom in mid-
to late summer, and are followed by aromatic seeds. Plants have escaped gardens
and naturalized in many parts of North America. Flowers are very attractive to
butterflies. Fennel is a larval plant for certain swallowtail butterflies.
Foeniculum vulgare (Apiaceae)
commonly known as fennel is a well-known and important medicinal and aromatic
plant widely used as carminative, digestive, lactogogue
and diuretic and in treating respiratory and gastrointestinal
disorders. Its seeds are used as flavorings in baked goods, meat and fish
dishes, ice cream, alcoholic beverages and herb mixtures.
Also known as hydrosols, floral
waters are actually a by-product of the steam distillation process used to
capture essential oils. During a normal essential oil distillation process, the
steam containing the oils is cooled to turn it into water, and the essential
oils floating on top are skimmed off and bottled. The remaining water is
considered floral water! Any floral water contains water, water-soluble
components of the plant, and trace amounts of the essential oil. This unique
composition lends each floral water a full spectrum of the essence and
properties of the botanical material from which it was derived. Though they are
most often called floral waters, hydrosols can be produced from any plant
matter like herbs, needles, leaves, woods, barks, and seeds.
Floral waters have many valuable
uses in beauty, skincare, haircare, and household products. At Venkatramna
Industries, we offer wide range of floral waters for a variety of product
applications. They can be sold as pure floral waters to be used as sprays and
spritzers, or they can be strategically blended with other ingredients to
create versatile consumer products.
