Origin

Denizli, Turkey

Fennel, a folkloric panacea for all that ails—from asthma to indigestion—is cultivated in the Aegean city of Denizli in southwestern Turkey. During the height-of-summer harvest, fully grown, anise-scented plants are dug from the root, which is sold fresh, while the frilly tops are mechanically separated from the fruits, aka “seeds.” In Aegean regional cooking, the oval-shaped seed—a cumin doppelganger—imparts a delicate licorice flavor into the sautéed greens that fill a popular local pastry called börek.

Tips for Success

  • Fennel seeds contain oils that are best dissolved in oil.
  • Crush and toast for roasted nutty flavors or grind raw for a more licorice foreword flavor.
