The White Fennel we present comes from sun-exposed cultivation in Puglia. Sa.Ma. Frutta has selected only the Extra ones, meaning those with a very large and particularly round, compact, well-closed bulb, which can exceed 500 grams.
This type of Mediterranean herbaceous plant has a bulb composed of an arrangement of leaf sheaths, whitish in color, fleshy, and closely pressed together. Fennel is the vegetable with the lowest caloric index (only 15 Kcal per 100g), promotes digestion by combating the formation of intestinal gas, and is rich in vitamin A and C, sodium, calcium, phosphorus, and especially potassium, beneficial for the heart and the nervous system.
The Extra White Fennel from Puglia (which we present on this page in a quantity of 3kg) has a distinctive flavor, similar to that of anise and at the same time slightly sweetish. This makes it very enjoyable when consumed raw, in a fresh salad dressed only with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and a splash of balsamic vinegar. Steamed, it brings out all the best of itself, fully preserving its organoleptic properties. It is also widely used for raw antipasti or risottos, as well as many other stews or baked dishes. Its flavor is often used both to enhance food and to cover up any defects.
