This handy pack contains three of our finest fennel bulbs, known in Malta as ‘Bużbież’. Fennel is a truly unique vegetable, with a crisp, layered bulb, sturdy stalks, and feathery fronds, all of which are edible. It has a refreshing, subtly sweet flavour with distinct notes of anise or licorice, which becomes milder and sweeter when cooked. Its delightful crunch when raw and silky tenderness when braised or roasted make it incredibly versatile. Fennel is an excellent source of Vitamin C, dietary fibre, and potassium. It is known for its digestive properties and its antioxidants, like anethole, which contribute to its characteristic aroma and health benefits. In Maltese and Mediterranean cuisine, fennel is a star. Enjoy it shaved thinly into a refreshing salad with oranges and black olives, braised with fish, or roasted until caramelized and sweet to serve alongside pork or chicken. The fronds make a beautiful and flavourful garnish.
