Red Mukhwas Mouth Freshener

Red mukhwas is a colourful Indian after-meal snack or digestive aid widely used as a mouth freshener, especially after meals. It is made of various seeds and nuts, including fennel seeds, anise seeds, coconut, and sesame seeds.

They are sweet in flavour and highly aromatic due to added sugar and the addition of various essential oils, including peppermint oil. The seeds can be savoury or sweet-coated in sugar and brightly coloured. Plain water drunk after chewing and consuming the fennel seeds contained therein tastes extremely sweet.
