This is a kind of vegetable that almost every household in the north will use as stuffing, and this kind of food can hardly be seen in the south. But how would you feel if I told you that it was baked in Europe and used as a spice in the Middle East?

Where does fennel come from?

This matter should start from the birthplace of the marathon. Marathon is a city where the key battle of the Greek-Persian war took place, but you must not know that this place is full of fennel.

This is not a legend, but a truth. You can look up the meaning of marathon root. Of course, people eat jiaozi not with fennel and pork as stuffing, but with fennel fruit as seasoning. Fennel is an indispensable fennel in our spiced powder.

Different ingredients or plants will always play different roles after being planted in different regions. The stems and leaves of fennel, which we rely on for stuffing, are hardly used in Europe, and we prefer to eat roots (almost most plants in Europe prefer to eat roots).

Europeans grow bulbous fennel, which at first glance is thought to be onion. Slightly fennel flavor, the meat is very fat, which is very suitable for roasting or frying with meat, such as fried mutton or beef. The smell of fennel itself can well remove the fishy smell in beef and mutton, and the smell is not stimulated by onion.

This kind of bulbous fennel will have a sweet aftertaste if sliced for cold salad, which is very suitable for large salad and much softer than onion.

The existence of spiced powder in China is almost equivalent to Indian curry. Isn't it a surprise that fennel in five spices is the fruit of fennel?

"Materia Medica" quoted Tao Hongjing as saying, "Boil rotten meat, add a little, that is, there is no smell, and the smelly sauce is fragrant at the end, so it is fragrant." This description almost means turning decay into magic, and rotten meat smells good. Of course, I believe that odor removal is definitely not a problem.

Fennel used as spice is a story after the Silk Road, and the use of spice has a longer history in the Middle East. Fennel is used as a spice and has been handed down from the Middle East.

Look, if you stew meat at home, you can put a little fennel and no other spices. The taste is not as strong as star anise or cinnamon, but it can also play a role in removing fishy smell and returning fragrance.

After reading the above, you are wrong. I have seen the roots of fennel, and some fennel sold in the market have roots. The roots are thin. Where did you get the light bulb?

Yes, this kind of fennel that eats leaves is a variety specially cultivated to eat leaves. It specializes in eating leaves and making such a big light bulb. Of course, the greater the yield of leaves, the better.

Don't underestimate the way fennel is eaten. First of all, the calories of fennel leaves are very low, and100g is only 3 1 calorie. Slim friends, what reason do you have to refuse such low-calorie ingredients? In addition, the unique anisole in fennel can promote intestinal peristalsis and relieve abdominal pain. Does it feel great?

Ma Dongmei made a bowl of fennel gravy noodles for Charlotte in the movie. If you think the movie is funny, you are wrong. This way of eating is actually quite normal. Have you ever eaten fennel tempura and fennel fritters? Challenge your taste buds more.

Teach fennel how to eat.

Scrambled eggs with fennel. If you are used to scrambled eggs with Toona sinensis or shallots, try this and experience different smells.

Fennel pork stuffing, jiaozi, steamed stuffed bun and fried dumpling are all essential raw materials for stuffing in the north. Take a bite, enjoy the mixed fragrance of fennel and fennel, enjoy the full juice, and leave any troubles behind.

Fennel fish, have you ever eaten Toona sinensis? Try fennel fish. Fennel is dragged with batter and fried, and delicious food emerges.

In fact, there are many ways to eat fennel cold salad, just think of it as an ordinary vegetable. The main thing is that you should be able to accept the unique aroma of fennel. Of course, the taste of raw fennel is not acceptable to everyone, but people who like it can't put it down.

Fennel seed tea, a stew, what does it mean? I won't elaborate on the specific effect. Just pass the word that there is such a way to drink.
