Fresh Fennel is a versatile vegetable recognized by its pale bulb, delicate fronds, and distinctive anise-like flavor. The bulb can be enjoyed raw for a crisp addition to salads or cooked to develop a softer texture. Its aromatic character complements vegetables, seafood, poultry, soups, and roasted dishes. The fresh fronds can also be used as a garnish or herb to add a subtle fennel note.
