 Fennel Romanesco is grown for its large, succulent bulbs unlike some other fennel which is grown in the herb bed primarily for its seeds. 

Fennel Romanseco has a mild aniseed flavour and the whole plant can be used. The leaves are wonderful in fish dishes and the bulb and stems can be used chopped raw into salads, braised or added to casseroles.
