Description:

Fennel is a spice native to the South Europe and parts of Asia, this perennial plant is widely grown for its strong flavor. The flavor of the plant is somewhat similar to anise and is milder. Thishighly aromatic plant is used for both seeds and leaves.
India produces high quality fennel and consumes a significant portion of the total fennel production. The spice is used for both culinary use, flavoring and also as a mouth freshener. Rajasthan, Gujarat and Uttar Pradesh are the major fennel producing states.

 

Uses:
Culinary Use : The plant is grown for its seeds and leaves and are used in flavoring food. It is also used as a mouth freshener.
Medicinal Use : The plant is used to relieve chills and stomaches. The essential extracted from the fennel spice is also used as a blend with other oils for curing diseases and relaxation of mind and body.
Perfumery : The essential oil is also used in certain personal hygiene products like soaps and perfumes.

The primary use of fennel seeds is to relieve bloating, but they also settle stomach pain, stimulate the appetite, and are diuretic and anti-inflammatory. Like anise and caraway the seeds make an excellent infusion for settling the digestion and reducing abdominal distension. The seeds help in the treatment of kidney stones and, combined with urinary antiseptics such as uva-ursi make an effective treatment for cystitis. An infusion of the seeds may be taken as a gargle for sore throats and as a mild expectorant. Fennel is safe for children and, as an infusion or syrup, can be given for colic and painful teething in babies. Fennel increases breast-milk production, and is still used as an eyewash for sore eyes and conjunctivitis. The seeds have a longstanding reputation as an aid to weight loss and to longevity. Essential oil from the sweet variety is used for its digestive and relaxing properties.
Other medical uses - Altitude sickness.
Culinary uses - Use finely chopped fennel leaves and stems in stuffing, marinades, sauces for vegetables, and in herbed butter and cheese spreads. Fennel goes particularly well in tomato and cucumber salads, and makes a tasty garnish for asparagus.
Add leaves to your favorite fish recipes, especially those calling for oily, strongly flavored fish, such as mackerel. Fennel will help offset the odor and promote digestion. Stuff the fish with fresh leaves, or add leaves to the water for poached fish. Fennel is essential for the classic Provencal dish Grillade au Fenouil, in which grilled sea bass, red mullet, or trout is flamed in brandy on a bed of dried fennel stalks.
Add fresh leaves to hot dishes just before serving, as heat quickly reduces the flavor of the leaves.
Use the stronger-flavored seeds in stews, sausages, pickles, sauerkraut, beans and lentils, salad dressing, tomato-based sauces, breads, cookies, and cakes.
Fennel seeds are used commercially in condiments, ice cream, prepared meats such as pepperoni, and liqueurs, especially anisette.
Add fresh leaves to extra-virgin olive oil or other cooking oil.
Craft uses - Include fennel's dainty yellow flowers in fresh summer floral bouquets.

HABITAT AND CULTIVATION
Native to the Mediterranean region, fennel is now cultivated in temperate regions around the world.
Fennel grows well in almost any good soil, but it performs best in deep, well-drained, non-acidic soil. Tolerated pH range is 4.8 to 8.2.
Prefers full sunlight, but will grow in light shade. Fennel needs to be protected from the wind, so you will need to stake it, or cultivate it near a fence or wall. Requires watering during dry spells, and is inclined to bolt when the temperature climbs.
Sow seeds directly in the garden as soon as the ground can be worked, usually a couple of weeks before your last spring frost date. (Sow seeds where you want the plants to grow, as fennel does not transplant easily.) Soil temperature is best between 15° and 18°C (60° and 65°F).
Plant seeds 0.6 to 1 cm (1/4 to 1/2 inch) deep. Seedlings usually emerge in 10 to 14 days. Thin plants to 20 cm (8 inches) apart.
Can also be propagated by dividing established plants in the spring. Space the divisions 30 cm (12 inches) apart.
Do not grow near dill, as fennel and dill can cross-pollinate. This is unlikely to change the taste of the seeds that are produced, but the hybrid seeds can't be used to grow either good fennel or good dill.
Cut back some stems throughout the growing season to ensure an ongoing supply of new stems and leaves.
Susceptible to infestations of white fly and aphids, and to root rot if the soil is too moist.
Fennel is generally grown as an annual in short-season gardens because it is susceptible to freezing.
Growing in containers - Plant fennel seeds directly into a 10- to 12-inch (25 to 30 cm) container with soil-based potting soil and place it in a sunny location. If only "baby" fennel greens are desired, crowd the pot with six to eight plants. For plants to produce tall stalks, allow two to three plants. Keep the pots evenly moist and fertilize every three weeks with a mild fish emulsion or other manufactured plant food. Bright flowering annuals such as marigolds and nasturtiums can be grown between the fennel plants. Snip the leaves for kitchen use at any time; the seed heads are ready for harvest when they turn brown.
Fennel can be grown indoors for its foliage, but is unlikely to produce seeds or bulbs at the base. A 10-inch (25 cm) pot with several closely spaced plants will produce fresh greens, for snipping in bright light with moderately cool temperatures. Keep the soil consistently moist and provide fertilizer every three weeks.
