Sow in the ground, in rows 35-40 cm apart. Cover seeds and lightly lead. After 6 weeks, thin out to 20 cm on the row. In cool climates, sow fennel in April, under cover. In warm climates, sow in late summer to avoid bolting. Fennel requires frequent watering. To obtain a white apple, butter the base of the stalks when they start to swell.

Fennel is one of the richest vegetables in vitamins, minerals and fiber. The latter are particularly well tolerated by the most fragile intestines, especially when fennel is cooked. Fennel has a moderately high carbohydrate content, but a slightly higher protein content than most fresh vegetables. It is characterized by a high concentration of vitamins. In particular, it contains vitamin C, beta-carotene (provitamin A), and a significant amount of vitamin B9 (or folic acid). It also contains many minerals and trace elements: iron, potassium, phosphorus, calcium, magnesium, and its leaves contain antioxidant substances. Fennel is used as a digestive aid to combat intestinal sluggishness, lack of appetite and inflammation of the internal mucous membranes. It also calms colic and intestinal spasms.
