Fennel

Fennel, also known as crispy anise, is an aromatic and flavourful herb most commonly used in culinary contexts, where it adds a mildly sweet and anise-like flavour to dishes, but has also been appreciated for its potential health benefits. It is rich in fibre, vitamins such as C and K, and minerals such as potassium and calcium. Fennel is also said to have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, and its essential oils are sometimes used in natural medicines and aromatherapy.

In perfumes, fennel adds a mild sweetness with spicy liquorice notes.
