Fennel
Peak Season: Year-round
Perfect Pick: Bulbs should be uniform in color, with no browning and a clean, fragrant aroma. Smaller bulbs have a sweet flavor similar to licorice. Leave bulbs with wilted tops, called fronds, behind.
Handle with Care: Separate the greens and bulbs and keep each, unwashed, in plastic bags in the refrigerator for 3 to 5 days. Wilted fennel can be revived in ice water.
The Payoff: Anethole, a phytonutrient that may lessen inflammation and cancer risk.
