So, what is venkel?
Venkel, also known as fennel, is a flowering plant in the carrot family, native to the Mediterranean region. The plant's feathery leaves and yellow flowers are both edible, but it's the bulb that is most commonly used in cooking. The bulb has a sweet, anise-like flavor that is often compared to licorice, and it can be eaten raw or cooked. Venkel is rich in fiber, vitamin C, potassium, and other nutrients. It's often used in Mediterranean and Indian cuisine, where it's added to salads, stews, soups, and curries, and it's also a popular ingredient in herbal teas and liqueurs.
