    What is Fennel?

    Fennel is a plant with white bulb, green stalks, yellow flowers and feathery fronds (leaves) that look similar to leafy green carrot tops. Fennel has a sweet licorice-like scent and flavor that is similar to anise.

    And while the entire plant is edible, the bulb is the most commonly used part. Thinly sliced raw fennel bulb adds a fresh, bright spring-like quality to salads, slaws and pastas. Fennel bulb can also be roasted or grilled, and it  is also added to soups and stews.
