Fennel, with vitamin C, beta carotene or vitamin A, fiber, antioxidants, folate, potassium, helps fight colon or intestinal cancer, stroke, heart disease, and helps fight hypertension by lowering blood pressure, lowers bad cholesterol; also fights bad breath, diarrhea, constipation, flatulence, menstrual disorders, cough, bronchitis, lung congestions and other respiratory ailments, and for healthy cardiovascular system.

Fennel fights or prevents cancer, especially colon cancer, because it is rich in phytonutrients and antioxidants.  A rich source of fiber, folate and potassium, fennel helps lower bad cholesterol and blood pressure.  It protects blood vessels from damage, thus reducing significantly the risks of heart disease and stroke.

Fennel is similar to anise in flavor, tasting like licorice, which goes well with baked fish.  Try baking fish on a bed of fennel stalks.  One good thing about fennel is that all parts of the plant are edible.  Fennel stalks can be mistaken as celery, both vegetables being members of the parsley plant family.
