basic information
Florence fennel (Foeniculum vulgare) is a versatile plant with a bulbous base, crisp stalks, and feathery fronds, all of which are edible. In the kitchen, the bulb is sliced for salads, roasted, or braised, offering a mild, anise-like flavor. The stalks add crunch to soups or stocks, while the fronds garnish dishes or infuse oils. As an herb, fennel seeds are used whole or ground in spice blends, breads, or sausages, imparting a sweet, licorice-like taste.
