Fennel - Florence

Short lived perennial, often grown as an annual for its inflated leaf bases which form a bulb-like structure at the base of the plant. Has a delicious, sweet mild anise-like flavour, and refreshing crisp texture. Excellent sliced raw in green salads, sauteed, roasted or in casseroles. The seeds are used as a mouth freshener and appetite suppressant and also, along with the frilly leaves, can be used to season breads and cakes. In Italy known as "Finocchio".

All Salt Spring Seeds are heritage, heirloom and organic seeds.
