Description
Nutritional & Health Benefits: Fennel is low in calories and an excellent source of vitamin C, potassium, folate, and fiber. It also contains antioxidant compounds such as anethole, which support digestion, help reduce inflammation, and may contribute to immune and cardiovascular health. Its diuretic properties make it useful in light detox diets.
Culinary Uses: All parts of the fennel plant are edible — bulb, stalks, and fronds. The bulb can be eaten raw in salads, grilled, roasted, braised, or sautéed, offering a sweet and mild licorice flavor. The fronds can be used as a fresh herb, while the seeds are a popular spice in Mediterranean and Indian cuisine. Fennel pairs beautifully with fish, citrus, cheeses, and grains.
Storage: Fennel keeps best in the refrigerator, wrapped in a slightly damp cloth or stored in a plastic bag to retain its crispness. It should be consumed within 5 to 7 days for optimal freshness and flavor.
