Fennel is a member of the carrot family, though it’s not a root vegetable. The base of its long stalks weave together to form a thick, crisp bulb that grows above ground. Above the bulb, at the tip of the stalks, it has light, feathery leaves that resemble dill. Every part of it is edible, from the bulb to the flowers, and it can be eaten raw or cooked. It caramelizes as it cooks, taking on a sweeter flavor and tender, melt-in-your mouth texture.
It has various health benefits such as low in calories, but high in nutrients like dietary fiber, potassium, and vitamin C. It can be dressed up with herbs, nuts, and shaved Parmesan cheese, tossed with greens and simple vinaigrette, or it can be used as in one of the salad recipes.
