About
Fennel Pollen tastes very similar to fennel seed, but stronger and with slight honey overtones. It grows like a flower off of the fennel plant in late summer. It is most often bright yellow. It has a potent flavor and a little bit goes a long way, so use sparingly. It's delicious lightly sprinkled over fish, pork, lamb, and chicken dishes. Fennel pollen is very popular in Italy where they make fennel pesto or mix it with olive oil for bread.
