Our new Western boxes contain a variety of vegetables that are less common locally. One of these is the fennel bulb.
Fennel has an interesting liquorice-like flavour which combines well raw with citrus fruit as you can see in the chickpea salad below.
It originated in the Mediterranean and you will find it in healthy Greek and Italian dishes where it is well known for helping with digestion of rich foods.
Combined here with chickpeas and onions it is a great addition for improving skin and bone health and cardiovascular health. As the fennel is served raw, the high vitamin C content has not been destroyed by processing.
