Fennel Juice

Fennel juice is the liquid extracted from the bulb, stalks, and leaves of the fennel plant (Foeniculum vulgare). The plant is native to the Mediterranean but is now grown worldwide. The juice is typically produced by cold-pressing or juicing the plant parts.

Fennel juice is primarily used to add a distinct, slightly sweet, and aromatic flavor to foods and beverages. It is often found in juices, smoothies, and other drinks, as well as in some savory products like processed meats.

Fennel juice is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of vitamins and minerals. Regulatory bodies like the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have evaluated fennel as a food, but specific evaluations for fennel juice as an additive are not widely published. Evidence on specific health benefits or risks at typical consumption levels is limited.
