The Fabulous Flavor of Fennel
Fennel you say? Yes, fennel we say! You’ve got to experience the
flavor of this completely underappreciated vegetable. With a pleasantly
striking, yet subtle touch of anise and a slightly sweet crunch, this
versatile veggie is a must for your grocery list this fall. Fennel is at
home in salads, soups, and sautés alike--fresh and juicy when raw and
more intensely flavorful when cooked.
Also a feast for the eyes, fennel
has a beautiful, pale green bulb with dark green, celery-like stalks and
feathery, herbaceous fronds. It’s best consumed within three to four
days of purchase and is packed with vitamin C, fiber, folate, and
potassium. Okay, enough with the hard sell. Now go forth and consume
with the help of Mary Sue and Susan’s favorite fennel recipes!
