Fennel

Fennel is classified as an herb and a vegetable. Fennel is a crisp and grows a greenish-white bulb with tubular stalks and feathery leaves like dill. It’s an above-ground succulent bulb.

The bulb is often sliced, and used in salads or sautéed. The stalks are often cut and used in raw or cooked soups and sauces. Fennel provides a slightly sweet licorice or anise flavor. When cooked the flavor becomes weaker. Try adding fennel to your favorite tuna salad recipe for added crunch and flavor!
