Cultivation
Foeniculum vulgare Mill.
Vegetable-type fennel is valued for fresh consumption due to the formation of a fleshy bulb with a crunchy texture and a distinct sweet anise aroma.
In the reference 9 varieties crop Fennel, where this is mentioned in the description.
The primary component of fresh consumption in fennel (especially var. azoricum) is the thickened lower part of the petioles, which forms a dense bulb. Its fleshy structure, when sliced, provides a specific crunchy texture that is sought after in salads as a standalone ingredient, rather than just as an aromatic additive.
In breeding for fresh consumption, preference is given to more rounded and squat bulbs, whereas flat and elongated shapes are more frequently directed toward thermal processing. In addition to the bulbs, feathery leaves and stems are used for fresh consumption, serving as aromatic accents with a characteristic anise or licorice flavor.
