About this plant

The fruits of Foeniculum capillaceum contain trans-anethole, the phenylpropanoid responsible for its characteristic anise flavour, with estrogenic and anti-inflammatory properties. The Greek name for fennel is marathon, and the famous battle was fought on a plain of wild fennel. In Hesiod's Theogony, Prometheus stole fire from Olympus hidden in a hollow fennel stalk.
