Fennel is a perennial herbaceous plant, highly aromatic, and widely used in gastronomy, being a common ingredient in Mediterranean cuisine.
It can be consumed as an infusion. It is used in roasts and barbecues, placed as a wrapping around meat or fish to impart a distinctive flavor.
The leaves are ideal for cooking and go well with fish, pork, beef, or seafood, as well as in broths, sauces, fillings, mayonnaises, and salad dressings.
The stalks can be boiled and eaten like asparagus, or peeled and eaten raw in salads, or finely chopped and sprinkled over eggs.
