The flavor of fennel is said to be anise-like, or a toned down version of licorice. Its texture is similar to celery, and eating it raw delivers a nice crunch. Fennel bulb and fennel seeds act as an antispasmodic medium on the colon, which can help relieve gas and bloating. It’s an excellent source of vitamin c, and a good source of fiber. The combination of raw fennel with citrus in this simple Orange and Fennel salad provides a de-bloating, one-two punch.
Tip: Prepare this salad when feeling the need to detox or de-bloat.
