How to Blanch Fennel
Blanching vegetables is a method of partially cooking vegetables through the plunging of them briefly into boiling water. It can be a way of preserving nutrients so that you can freeze the vegetable or a method of keeping the vegetable crisp for a salad while making it easier to digest.
Fennel is a fall vegetable, and if you want to freeze some for out-of-season use, you can try this method.
