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, hardy root [[vegetable]] and may be [[sauteed]], [[stewed]], [[braised]], [[grilled]], or eaten raw.

[[Dill]] is visually similar fennel and also goes well with [[fish]].  [[Anise]] and [[star anise]] contain the same aromatic compoud (anethole) so could probably be used as a substitute flavouring.
