Fennel - the Stalk of the Month!

Raw fennel greens have a fresh, bright anise flavor that complements almost any dish  The stalks taste slightly sweet, too, and are super crisp when you bite into them. Fennel can frequently replace celery in Mediterranean dishes. It has the same crunch of celery, but without the stringy fibers that can make celery tough on your teeth!

It's a joy bringing raw food inspiration and recipes to you and I thank you for joining me. Please be sure to watch the sneak peek of my new Online Course and let me know what you think.
