Fennel’s history is as rich as its flavor! For centuries fennel has been utilized as a food, medicine, herb, and even insect repellent. In ancient Greece, fennel played a significant role in celebrations of the Gods and Goddesses. It was planted in the temple gardens in their honor and worshippers wore crowns of feathery leaves. In Greek mythology knowledge sometimes came to humans from Mt. Olympus in the form of a fiery coal contained in a fennel stalk.
The ancient Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans believed fennel an excellent aid for digestion, bronchial troubles, poor eyesight, and nervous conditions. Still today, in India, fennel seed is used for seasoning as well as chewed after the meal for a vreath freshener and digestive aid. Nutritionally, fennel is very low in calories, but offers significant vitamin A and the minerals calcium, potassium, and iron.
