Fennel is an aromatic plant, with deep green leaves and fleshy root. It has a strong cool taste and smell. It originates in the Mediterranean region and the ancient Greeks called it “marathon” perhaps due to the victory against the Persians in Marathon in 490 BC. It has antiseptic action; it contains flavonoids and is rich in antioxidants. It gives an exquisite taste to various foods such as meat, fish, soups, and raw salads.
