Fennel

Fennel, whose Latin name is ‘Foeniculum vulgare’, belongs to the parsley family. Its homeland is the Mediterranean and the Near East. It grows naturally in almost every region in our country. The leaves of fennel, which are sprinkled on roadsides and meadows from autumn to mid-summer, are petiolate and hairless. It mostly likes rocky and arid places. It is a two-year herbaceous, pungent-smelling plant that usually grows up to one meter in height.
