Its good to eat it raw to help with digestion.

I usually make a recipe where you carmelize equal parts onion and fennel, then add slices of kalamata and de-glaze with white wine. It is quite good. I grew fennel just for that recipe.

I want to leave work right now and go eat my fennel

I let one bulb go to seed that is how I replant fennel if you are not careful here it can become VERY invasive! but I love it so much I dont care

Oh Drakemaiden YUMMMMMMMMMM

I love fennel -- it always reminds me of wintertime salads when I used to work in Italy. I had never eaten it before & the Italians used to call it "dead men's bones"!

This is a rather grander recipe which uses both the seed & the vegetable. I want to grow it if I have enough room in my raised beds.
