Use fresh leaves in salads or cole slaws with eggs, fish & sauces. Also great in Italian cooking (i.e. soups, casseroles) or seeds can be used in baking. Bulbous stem can be steamed, grilled or excellent sliced/chopped & served raw, like celery but with a delicate anise aroma & crisp licorice flavor. (Naturally Grown in Sonoma County)
