| The fennel plant resembles dill, but has a sweet anise flavor. It has been used from ancient times in all its forms--leaf, seed, and root. The ancient Greeks regarded it as a symbol of success. To the Romans it signified flattery. The Anglo-Saxons considered it to be one of the nine sacred herbs. Fennel has long been known as the 'fish' herb. |
