Fennel, Type : Seeds

we are offering fennel. fennel is a versatile vegetable that plays an important role in the food culture of many european nations, especially in france and italy. its esteemed reputation dates back to the earliest times and is reflected in its mythological traditions. greek myths state that fennel was not only closely associated with dionysus, the greek god of food and , but that a fennel stalk carried the coal that passed down knowledge from the gods to men.
fennel is composed of a white or pale green bulb from which closely superimposed stalks are arranged. the stalks are topped with feathery green leaves near which flowers grow and produce fennel seeds. the bulb, stalk, leaves and seeds are all edible. fennel belongs to the umbellifereae family and is therefore closely related to parsley, carrots, dill and coriander.
fennel’s aromatic taste is unique, strikingly reminiscent of licorice and anise, so much so that fennel is often mistakenly referred to as anise in the marketplace. fennel’s texture is similar to that of celery, having a crunchy and striated texture.
