  • Fennel is an aromatic plant with pale green, celerylike stems and bright green feathery leaves that resemble dill weed. Fennel is sometimes called sweet anise and people associate it with licorice. However, it has a milder and sweeter flavor than anise and the flavor becomes even milder when it is cooked.
