FENNEL

Fennel is a flavorful and healthful plant that can be enjoyed in many different forms—whether fresh, sautéed, roasted, or in spice blends. With its mild anise flavor, fennel complements a variety of dishes, from savory to sweet. Whether you’re using the bulb in salads and soups or adding the seeds to spice mixes, fennel brings both flavor and nutritional value to the table. Its versatility and health benefits make it a great addition to any diet.

Fennel is known for its ability to aid digestion. Fennel seeds, in particular, are often chewed after meals to help relieve bloating, indigestion, and gas.  Fennel is a good source of fiber, vitamins (such as vitamin C, vitamin A, and several B vitamins), and minerals like potassium, calcium, and iron. The plant contains flavonoids, phenolic compounds, and other antioxidants that can help reduce inflammation and oxidative stress.
