ALL ABOUT FENNEL




All parts of this herb are aromatic and delicious! The bulb, foliage, and herb seeds of the fennel plant are widely used in many of the culinary traditions of the world. Fennel (Foeniculum Vulgare) 'Florence' is widely cultivated, both in its native range and elsewhere, for its edible, strongly-flavoured leaves and fennel herb seeds. The flavour is similar to that of anise, though usually not so strong and more aromatic and sweeter.

All parts of fennel are aromatic, imparting a sweet anise, or licorice, scent and flavor. Kids - or adults - who like black licorice will love chomping on the raw bulbs of fennel! Growing to 60 inches tall and 24 inches wide, florence fennel is topped by erect, hollow stems with pale yellow flower umbels. It differs from regular fennel because the stalk forms an edible bulbous base that fades to white.

Grow in rich, light soil in a warm location and provide ample water so that the bulbs will form properly. Sow herb seed directly in garden as soon as ground can be worked. Place one fennel seed every 3 inches and cover lightly with soil. Thin plants to 9" apart when they are 2" tall.

小茴香（學名：Foeniculum vulgare），多年草本植物，與芹菜和胡蘿蔔同科。小茴香主要產於埃及和印度，和茴香味道相似，但是比較香甜。

小茴香是一棵很高很香的草，大約2米高，葉子可達到40厘米。花朵是傘形的，5-15厘米的傘有20-50朵小花。種子是米粒形狀，4-9毫米長。

小茴香來自南歐和西南亞，現在太平洋中夏威夷和斐濟也大量引進培養。新的小茴香用籽發苗。

小茴香在五代時由波斯傳入中國。

小茴香籽作為調料的歷史悠久。它在中國是用來燉肉，莖葉用於製作餃子餡，在歐洲則常用於烹調魚類。印度人除用在很多咖喱裡頭，還把它烤香（有時稍加糖），在飯後吃一小勺消口臭。
