About Fennel, bulb, raw

Fennel is the pale, bulbous vegetable with a crisp texture and a distinctive flavor of mild anise or liquorice. Sliced thin and raw it's refreshing and crunchy in salads; roasted or braised, that aniseed note mellows into something sweet, soft and savory.

It's low in calories and a good source of vitamin C, fiber and potassium, with the aromatic compounds (chiefly anethole) that give it both its scent and its long traditional use as a digestive aid. The feathery fronds are edible too, useful as a herb.

From bulb to fronds the whole plant earns its place in the kitchen — a versatile vegetable that's as good shaved raw over a salad as it is caramelized alongside fish or pork.
