Fennel Seed, Florence Fennel, Heirloom, Non GMO, 25+ Seeds, Country Creek Acres

Description

Forence fennel, a wonderfully ornamental vegetable, is grown for its swollen leaf bases or ‘bulbs’ and edible leaves. When the use of in salads, the flavour can also be improved by slicing the bulb and putting it in a bowl of water and ice cubes in the fridge for an hour. Steam, grill or boil the ‘bulbs’ and serve with cheese sauce or butter; infuse the leaves in vinegar or add as garnish to salad. Delicious. Florence is a superb heirloom variety with good old-fashioned taste. Their delicate flavor lends them to inclusion in many dishes, both fancy and simple. They may be able to be grated or slivered raw into salads, diced or sliced for inclusion in soups, casseroles, and stir-fries. The tender stems and leaves can be used in soups or included with other wild and garden offerings for a mixed sauté of greens and onions. The whole bulbs can be split in half or quarters, depending on the size, and steamed, braised, or even lightly broiled. They make a tasty and elegant side dish, which can also be dressed up with a light mustard or hollandaise sauce, if you should. Those people who live in the cool coastal fog belt can grow and enjoy fresh fennel all year, at the same time as those in the snowy mountains should content themselves with a spring and fall crop. Those of you that live in the hot summer zones of Northern CA and restrict your gardening to summer time will fail to see this lovely delicacy. Seeds can also be sown directly into garden when soil is warm or began in containers and transplanted when several inches tall. Zones 3-10 All seeds are packaged and for the current growing season.
