Summary

Florence fennel originated in Italy. White bulbs are crisp with a sweet and mild anise flavor. Bulbs can be eaten as a vegetable; they can be grilled, steamed, or served raw. The feathery leaves are delicately flavored and are edible along with the seeds. The leaves can be used with fish, eggs, and sauces while the seeds are the primary flavor component in Italian sausage. Fennel attracts many beneficial insects such as bees and ladybugs.
