The composition profiling of Foeniculum vulgar indicated moisture, protein, fat, fiber, ash and nitrogen free extract as 6.24±0.24, 9.38±0.39, 9.76±0.34, 18.21±0.73, 12.97±0.51 and 43.44±1.82%, respectively. Moreover, Foeniculum vulgar contained appreciable amount of minerals especially potassium 852.45±33.25 mg/100 g followed by calcium 580.6±24.39 mg/100 g, manganese 211.35±7.40 mg/100 g, sodium 16.21±0.65 mg/100 g and iron 9.72±0.38 mg/100 g whereas zinc was found only in minute quantities.
