It
is a biennial, aromatic, stout, glabrous, 1.5 to 1.8 meters high. The ripe fruit
(seed) is small, oblong, cylindrical, 6.8mm long, straight or slightly curved,
greenish-yellow, deeply furrowed, 5 ridged, and has an agreeable aroma.
It
is a native of Europe and Asia Minor. It is cultivated extensively in Northern
India as a cold weather crop. It comes up well in a fairly mild climate. The dry
and cold weather favors high seed production. Prolonged cloudy weather at the
time of flowering is conducive to diseases and pests.
The
leaves of the fennel are used for garnishing. Leaves and stalks are used in salads.
It is an essential ingredient in Italian sausages, widely used to sprinkle on
pizza. Dried fruits have a fragrant odor and pleasant aromatic taste and are therefore used as a masticatory. They are also used for flavoring soups, meat
dishes, sauces, pastries, confectionaries, and liquors. The fruits are aromatic,
stimulant, and carminative.
