Fennel
Fennel is a fresh and aromatic vegetable with a subtle anise-like flavour. The crisp white bulb, green stalks and delicate fronds are all edible and used in salads, soups and stews.
Smart
tips
Store separately
Fennel is sensitive to ethylene gas. Don’t place it next to ethylene-producing produce like apples, pears or tomatoes, as this can cause it to wilt faster.
Freshness tip
Fennel dries out quickly and may show leaf discolouration, so store the bulbs in breathable bags.

Growing Method
BelOrta fennel is grown both in open fields and in greenhouses. In open-field cultivation, fennel grows naturally in the open air, while in greenhouses the plants are protected from extreme weather conditions. Both methods produce healthy, flavourful fennel—perfect for all kinds of dishes.
