<br />
The bulb, foliage, and seeds of the fennel plant are widely used in many of the culinary traditions of the world. Fennel pollen is the most potent form of fennel, but also the most expensive. Dried fennel seed is an aromatic, [[anise]] flavoured spice, brown or green in colour when fresh, slowly turning a dull grey as the seed ages. For cooking, green seeds are optimal. The leaves are delicately flavoured and similar in shape to those of dill. The bulb is a crisp, hearty root [[vegetable]] and may be [[sauteed]], [[stewed]], [[braised]], [[grilled]], or eaten raw.<br />
Grind fennel seeds with a [[Coffee grinder|coffee grinder]] when you need them.<br />
<br />
All type of fennel are very good with fish.<br />
<br />
==Alternatives==<br />
[[Dill]] is visually similar fennel and also goes well with [[fish]]. [[Anise]] and [[star anise]] contain the same aromatic compound (anethole) so could probably be used as a substitute flavouring.<br />
