Dried fennel seeds are typically used as a spice in minute quantities. A reference amount of {{convert|100|g}} of fennel seeds provides {{convert|345|kcal|kJ|order=flip|abbr=off}} of food energy and is a rich source (20% or more of the [[Daily Value]], DV) of [[protein]], [[dietary fiber]], [[B&nbsp;vitamins]] and several [[dietary minerals]], especially [[calcium]], [[iron]], [[magnesium]] and [[manganese]], all of which exceed 90% DV. Fennel seeds are 52% carbohydrates (including 40% [[dietary fiber]]), 15% [[fat]], 16% protein, and 9% water.
