Fennel Mixed Veggies

Benefits of Fennel
Fennel is a plant with long green stalks and a large white bulb. It belongs to the carrot family, with a significant difference being that it is not a root vegetable as its bulb grows above ground. It has a sweet anise-like scent and adds excellent flavor, whether raw, roasted, steamed, or sauteed. Its origin is from Greece and Italy, and it is widely used in the Mediterranean region.

It is also used in mouth fresheners, toothpaste, and antacids. There are many medicinal uses and health benefits other than those mentioned earlier, mainly due to the components of its essential oils. These include:
• Boosts Immunity
• Treats Indigestion
• Prevents Cancer
• Reduces Heart Diseases
• Prevents Anemia
• Improves Brain Function
• Regulates Blood Pressure
* Prevents Flatulence and constipation

Besides having multiple applications for medicinal health benefits, fennel is commonly used in many desserts and savory dishes around the world.;
Like other stalk vegetables like parsnips and celery, the entire plant is edible – the bulb, seeds, stalk, and leaves. It makes a beautiful and healthy tea.
