Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare) - Fennel is a herb prized for its sweet, licorice-like flavour as well as its many medicinal properties. It is rich in vitamins and fiber, and is valued for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits. Like dill, fennel attracts a variety of beneficial insects and pollinators. Fully grown, the feathery, fern-like leaves are edible, while the seeds offer a complex flavour that adds depth to a wide range of dishes.
