They are sweet in flavor and highly aromatic due to added sugar and the addition of various essential oils, including peppermint oil. The seeds can be savory or sweet-coated in sugar and brightly colored.[2] Plain water drunk after chewing and consuming the fennel seeds contained therein tastes extremely sweet.{{citation needed|date=May 2015}} Occasionally, this is eaten for medicinal purposes.{{citation needed|date=May 2015}} The word is an amalgamation of mukh meaning mouth and vas meaning smell.{{cn|date=August 2018}} See also
