Chinese fennel is similar to that of the Mediterranean, with powerful notes of liquorice. Ideal for soups and fish dishes.

Fennel, with its fresh aromas reminiscent of anise, is abundantly used in Chinese and Mediterranean cuisine. It is often found in mixtures of Provencal or Italian herbs, and it goes well with tomato dishes. In Chinese cuisine, it is mixed with star anise and tangerine peels before adding to stir-fries or braised meat dishes. It is also used to flavor fish or seafood dishes. It will give an unparalleled taste to vegetable soups and most pork dishes.
