Organic Fennel

Also known as Sweet Anise, fennel's snowy white flesh has a licorice flavor when eaten raw out of hand like an apple or sliced thin in a salad. When roasted or steamed, the taste is sweet and mild, and the licorice flavor all but disappears. Fronds are great for flavoring soups and smoothies, or use as a bed for poached salmon or roast chicken. Every part of this versatile vegetable plant can be used.

When growing fennel, it's important to select a variety that will perform well in-season to prevent premature bolting or thin flat bulbs.
