Food Guide

Fennel

Buying Tips

Fennel can be found in the produce section of most health food stores, specialty markets, and supermarkets. Look for smallish bulbs and avoid those that are browning or cracked. The greens should be bright and fresh-looking.

Varieties

Florence fennel, also called finocchio, has a broad, white, bulbous base and is sometimes called sweet anise. Common fennel is the variety that yields fennel seeds.

Preparation, Uses, & Tips

Wash the bulb and the greens just before using. Fennel can be cooked or eaten raw. Slice the bulb and braise slices in olive oil and broth, or use the greens as a garnish, like dill.

Storing

Cut off the greens and store the bulbs in a paper bag in the refrigerator for up to two days. Store the greens refrigerated and wrapped in plastic.
