Fennel bulb is the fleshy, white edible part of the fennel plant (Foeniculum vulgare), an aromatic herb native to the Mediterranean. Its flavor is delicate and slightly anise-like, similar to licorice, which makes it a highly valued ingredient in cooking, both raw and cooked.
Fennel bulb is used in a wide variety of recipes, from fresh salads to stews and roasts, providing a fresh and sweet touch. Furthermore, it is known for its digestive and anti-inflammatory properties, thanks to its phytochemical compounds and fiber content.
In Hispanic America, the fennel bulb is also commonly known as "white fennel" or simply "fennel", although in some countries it is less common and may be confused with other varieties of aromatic herbs.
