What it is

Red pepper and fennel are spices derived from plants. Red pepper comes from the dried fruit of Capsicum annuum plants, while fennel comes from the seeds of the Foeniculum vulgare plant. Both are dried and ground into a powder for use in cooking.

Why it's used

These spices are primarily used to add flavor and a mild heat to foods. They are common ingredients in sausages, marinades, rubs, and various savory dishes, contributing a warm, slightly sweet, and aromatic profile.

Health notes

Red pepper and fennel are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as flavoring agents. They are not typically associated with adverse health effects at the levels found in food. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated many food ingredients, but specific evaluations for these spice blends are not always detailed publicly. Evidence does not suggest significant health concerns from their consumption in typical food amounts.

Allergen info

Not a major allergen. Neither red pepper nor fennel are among the nine major allergens identified by the FDA, nor do they contain gluten.
