Fragrant, crunchy and refreshingly aromatic, fresh Australian fennel brings a burst of flavour to the cooler months. Grown in the fertile soils of Victoria’s Gippsland and South Australia’s Adelaide Plains, fennel thrives from late autumn through spring. Naturally high in vitamin C, fibre, and antioxidants, it’s a wonderfully versatile veg with a subtle aniseed note and delicate sweetness. Enjoy it raw and finely shaved in vibrant salads, roasted until caramelised and tender, or braised into warming winter dishes.
