Healthy vegetable with fine anise flavor
Three species of fennel belong to the fennel family: the seeds of garden fennel are used as a tea or as a spice. Spicy or wild fennel is popular in Italy – exceptional for seasoning fish and pork. Also from Italy comes the vegetable fennel: it forms the fennel bulb above the root. It tastes good as a vegetable warm with liquid butter, grated cheese and breadcrumbs or raw with dip, as a leaf salad or entrée: : – – Buy only immaculate white bulbs without brown spots. The leaves should be fresh and bright green. Use the fennel greens in the same way, they have a fresh anise flavor.
