How to Store Fennel (6 Steps)
Fennel is a green vegetable with a unique, somewhat sweet taste. Both fresh fennel and the dried seeds of a separate fennel plant variety called Common Fennel, according to Big Oven, are used in cooking. According to Easy French Food, fennel seeds may be used as flavoring for sausages and other dishes. You will keep fresh fennel or fennel seeds fresh longer if you store them properly.
