#wildfennel

That's what's left of wild fennel in Greek beaches. If you feasted on the leaves for the entire sumner, now it is time to gather seeds. You can plant them, or save some for tea - it is a good carminative herb. You can also add them in aromatic alcoholic beverages. Known as marathos in Greece. #fennel #wildfennel #foeniculumvulgare #foraging #foragingforfood #wildherbs #medicinalherbs #medicinalplants #herbsasfood #herbalist #herbalmedicine #primitiveskills #aromatherapy #marathos #greekherbs #greekflora (at Rafína, Greece) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnWGoRMnCsR/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ixq1olrah0se

Wild fennel ... SFr. 4.40

Today’s adventure: foraging. There is so much wild fennel growing… well, wild. I looked it up and at first was disappointed that the bulb was not good to eat. However… I discovered that fennel pollen is something very sought after! Today I went out and picked some yellow flowers, staying away from the bees 🐝 (has anyone tasted fennel honey? I don’t think I have) and this little #ladybug 🐞 dame. I saved the blooms in a bag, but as I discovered the hard way, ants 🐜 live the pollen too, so I didn’t drag my feet and dusted the flowers over a piece of parchment paper, and in photo 2 you can see my “harvest.” Now to decide how to use it! #california #fennel #wildfennel #foraging #creek #marincounty #sfbayarea #growingwild #nature #gourmetfood (at Larkspur, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQz0OsPrzQK/?utm_medium=tumblr

'Tis the season for foraging wild fennel in Sicily. Not to be confused with the bulb fennel we have in our supermarkets in the United States, wild fennel is mostly fronds (the fern-like leaves), and it contains the best flavor when it is young. One finds wild fennel in the mountains and countryside. A keen eye can easily distinguish it from other spring growth. Cooks love it for pasta con le sarde (pasta with sardines) and other creative combinations, to season pasta, fish, and more. Its fragrant smell and anise/liquorice flavor is wonderful. The season is now and it is short... So, if you want to taste it, plan to travel to Sicily (in the future) around St. Joseph's Day (March 19), when this ingredient is most prevalent on tables. #experiencesicily #sicily #wildfennel #fennel #finocchio #finocchietto #finocchiettoselvatico #sicilia #siciliabedda #italy #italia #sicilyvacation #sicilians_world #ig_sicily #igerssicilia #instasicilia #gf_italy #siculamenteDoc #sicily_tricolors #ig_visitsicily #Sicilia_PhotoGroup #smallgrouptours #traveltogether #authenticsicily #sicilytour #whatsicilyis #sicilytravel #viverelasicilia (at Monte San Calogero) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMHA11WF15F/?igshid=kwh7fttnknig
