Fennel has a mild anise flavor that mellows and sweetens when cooked. The bulb is low enough in carbs for regular keto use.

Keto notes

  • About 4.2g net carbs per 100g, with a fresh crunch when raw
  • Shave it thin into salads or roast wedges in olive oil until caramelized
  • The fronds work as a herb and the seeds season sausage and broth
  • Pairs well with pork, fish, and citrus

A normal side portion sits comfortably in a keto carb budget.
