If fennel is edible, why is the essential oil from seeds toxic?
It is said that seeds, leaves, and roots of fennel are safe and edible. However, the essential oil, extracted from the seeds, is toxic even in small amounts. This seems to be a contradiction. Is it safe to eat seeds, or any part of the herb? if its oil is toxic?
All essential oils can be toxic if ingested in large doses. Distributors of essential oils always need to mention this to be safe, CYA, you know…
It is a phenol and members of this class can be toxic, I won’t go into the chemistry here. But…Fennel essential oil from Foeniculum vulgare var. dulce is not considered to be toxic. It is widely and safely used.
APPLE JUICE w/ Fennel, Ginger, Lemon & Carrot to give it more YUM!
