Fennel is a crunchy vegetable with a licorice flavor that is an interesting one to cook with. Because of its candy-like flavor, it’s commonly used sparingly as a topping to give a bit of sweetness to soups, salads and other dishes.
Fennel is associated with potential antiaging, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antiviral, antistress, cytoprotective, and memory enhancing effects.
