Forget about sunflower seeds; serious hikers should be eating fennel seeds...

mostly digestive relief, which actually could be helpful on the trail
but in women, menstrual flow promotion, also stimulates lactation. Usually not recommended for pregnant or might become pregnant women

I don't mind fennel seeds in things... seems like they are often in sausage and rye bread, but they always get stuck in my teeth. I cannot imagine just eating them.

they had a small bowl of them - dyed with food coloring - on the counter next to the cash register at Maharaja Restaurant over on California Ave. SW.
there's a tiny spoon in the bowl so you can take a little scoop of them when you're paying the check on the way out.
quite tasty little morsels! great palate cleanser too!

Fennel seeds have a lot more benefits like it helps regulate blood pressure, reduce water retention, reduce asthma problems, it also increases strength and longevity and also good for the skin. I have read in this post that fennel seeds are also used to make detox broth, which helps to detoxify and reduce weight.

They are expensive in the supermarket, but I bought a good sized container of them at an Indian spice shop and market for about 3 bucks. Glad I figured that out; I put them in a lot of dishes; cabbage soup, roasts, herby biscuits, polenta, etc.
So check out the ol' neighborhood Indian market for 'em!
