Foeniculum Vulgare, commonly known as fennel, can be labelled either a therapeutic herb or a flavourful culinary plant. Both the crunchy white bulb and the seeds of the fennel plant have a soft liquorice-like flavour. Yet the seeds’ nutritional value is more potent, providing a wide variety of health benefits due to their antioxidant, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects.

In Medieval times, fennel was extremely popular in the Chinese, Egyptian, and Roman cultures, where it was believed to symbolize longevity, courage and strength, and supposedly even had the power to ward off evil spirits.
