Revered for its unique licorice-like flavoring, fennel contains a unique blend of phytonutrients – including the flavonoids rutin, quercitin, and various kaempferol glycosides – that make it a powerful antioxidant. Specifically, these compounds are thought to reduce inflammation and reduce the risk of cancer, and when combined with fiber, as is the case in fennel, can help eliminate potentially carcinogenic toxins from the colon to prevent colon cancer. Try it with avocado in a delicious salad. [...] [...] Unless you live in a relatively mild climate, fennel is one vegetable that is only offered in the spring.

I guess that's what I get for eating carbs, eh Mark? Yeah, food allergies are no fun.

Mmmmm!!!!! That was a treat. Wilson, you are not weird, but that's unusual :) Ummm...try fennel with fattening meats like duck or dark turkey meat instead of avocado. Or roast it with carrots. Here are some fennel recipes: http://allrecipes.com/Recipes/Fruits-and-Vegetables/Vegetables-A-M/Fennel/Top.aspx<br /> Some use dried fennel...but I like the whole, fresh thing. The Romans used a lot of anise/licorice flavorings, such as fennel, in their cooking. A great, easy stew, if you don't mind the occasional grain (I do this VERY rarely): pearl barley boiled with garlic, olive oil, water of course, and sea salt and fresh ground pepper. Add in chopped leeks, carrots, and fennel bulbs. It's really easy and tastes great! I'm sure it would be great with stew meat or chicken breast, too. If you used some hearty beans and meat, you could easily forgo the barley and avoid those carbs. :)</p> <p>Wow...maybe I need to make this for dinner...hmmm</p> I recently had duck with roasted whole fennel bulbs.

Sounds yummy. Sometimes at the grocery store it'll say anise instead of fennel. It is good a little roasted too. Bummer Wilson. Sounds yummy.
