Fennel (bulb), raw

Fennel is a plant that belongs to the same family as dill. Visually, fennel resembles dill, but its stem is thicker, and the bulb is wider.

The fennel bulb is a thickened, fleshy root used in cooking. The fennel bulb has a pleasant slightly sweet taste and a light refreshing aroma reminiscent of anise.

Fennel bulbs can be eaten raw. They are added to salads, vegetable dishes, and are also used as a side dish to meat and fish.

Fennel bulbs can also be used in cooking in dried or ground form. Ground fennel bulbs are added to sauces, soups, stews and other dishes.

  • Fennel bulbs can be added to dishes whole or sliced into thin wedges.
  • Fennel bulbs can be roasted in the oven or sautéed in a pan.
  • Fennel bulbs can be used to prepare tea. To do this, the bulbs are sliced thinly and poured with boiling water.
