-
A graceful, feathery perennial believed to be indigenous to southern Europe. It is found growing wild in most areas of the temperate zone; its hardy nature has made it somewhat of a pest in vacant lots and along rural roads.
Fennel seed is pungent and flavorful. It is a popular component of sausages and makes an excellent addition to pork, duck, chicken, and heartier types of seafood dishes.
