Fennel

This herb is similar in appearance and flavour to Dill, although Fennel has a more distinct, almost aniseed flavour. The two herbs are also similar in that both were noted as medicines in the records of Ancient Egypt. Fennel became a favourite with the Romans, who introduced it into many of the lands conquered by their armies, including Britain.

There are two types of Fennel. The annual is grown mostly for its stems, which are cooked like celery as a vegetable, and are popular in France and Italy. This annual variety can, however, be difficult to grow in cool climates. The perennial type of Fennel is grown for its leaves, and is easier to establish.
