Ground fennel seed
Saunf Powder
2.2 g1 teaspoon
7 g1 tablespoon
Standard ground fennel seed has a bulk density of ~0.45 g/ml (2.2 g/tsp).
Instead of Ground fennel seed
Fennel seedGrind whole seeds finely; use equal weight (1:1). Provides a fresh, sweet, aniseed aroma that is slightly stronger than pre-ground powder.
AniseedGrind finely; use 75% to 80% of the weight. Has a sharper, sweeter liquorice taste with less of fennel's herbal earthiness.
Star aniseGrind whole star anise finely; use 30% to 40% of the weight. Very potent aniseed flavour that easily overpowers a dish if not used sparingly.
