INFORMATION Fennel is extremely
popular in Italy and through utilising high and low
land areas they are able to grow it year round. The
UK growing season lasts for 5 months and we use Spanish
fennel during the import season. Fennel is bursting
with aniseed flavour and nutritional benefits.
HANDY HINTS Slice and use in a salad
