Fennel, also known as finocchio and marathon, is a member of the Apiaceae family original to the Mediterranean region and now naturalized elsewhere. As a cousin to celery and carrot, fennel is also cultivated for its bulbous root-stock, which is treated as a vegetable.

Although fennel resembles dill in stature and structure, its foliage and seed are reminiscent of licorice or anise in fragrance. In Europe, fennel seed is a popular flavoring ingredient in baked goods, and fennel seed tea is a time-honored favorite. During the Middle Ages, it was common for the peasantry to carry the seed to chew on while in church or in other public places.


Description: Fennel grows about 5 feet high and is a fragrant plant. It has yellow flowers and feather-like leaves. The seeds are oval-shaped and are gathered for use in the fall.

Safety: Fennel can be toxic. Don't use more than the recommended dosage. Do not take the essential oil internally unless supervised by a health professional. Consult your health care provider before beginning use of Fennel or any herb.
