What is "fennel"?
Fennel is a plant with feathery green leaves and a bulbous, white or pale green stem. It has a mild, licorice-like flavor and is commonly used as both a vegetable and a flavoring herb. The bulb, stalks, and fronds of the fennel plant are all edible and can be used in various culinary dishes. Fennel bulbs can be sliced and eaten raw in salads, roasted, grilled, or sautéed as a side dish, or used to flavor soups, stews, and sauces. The fronds can be chopped and used as a garnish or added to salads for extra flavor and texture. Fennel is rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, making it a nutritious and flavorful addition to meals.
