Use
Fennel recipes are extremely versatile. The vegetables can either be blanched or raw as part of a salad – e.g. B. Apples, pineapple, oranges and nuts. The tuber is also suitable cooked as a side dish with fish and meat, as well as for filling and gratinating. Finely chopped green fennel goes well with creamy dressings. The fennel seeds are used as a spice or infused into tea.
Storage
It is best to store fennel in the vegetable compartment of the refrigerator. It stays there for about two weeks.
