Can you just chew and swallow fennel seeds?

I was wondering if chewing and/or swallowing fennel seeds would be of any benefit? I have terrible bloating/gas and don't always have time to make tea.

Also, has anyone had fennel tea cold or room temp? I don't always have access to a mocrowave or stove and would like to be able to carry the tea round in a thermos or water bottle.

Thanks :-)

Hi - Yes, you can just chew and swallow. Don't chew big mouthfuls, as there's insoluble fiber in the seeds.

Also, you can drink fennel tea at any temperature - it will still work.
