Fennel is known for its licorice like flavor. The white bulb and green fronds are the only edible part of the plants, not the hard stalks. It’s bulb is a great source of energy, potassium, vitamin C, and other dietary fibers. In the Indian subcontinent, after a meal fennel seeds are consumed to eliminate bad breath and help with digestion. This week’s recipe is another classic for a quick easy meal from Joel’s cookbook.
