With its many wonderful properties, fennel is popular not only among mothers and children. Sweet, spicy and fresh in taste, fennel is wonderful as a digestif after a sumptuous feast. Did you know that the Greek city of Marathon was named after the adjacent fennel field (fennel = Greek Marathon)? Long ago, a messenger ran from this place to Athens with a message of victory in a continuous run. Even today, the fennel and the marathon run stand for courage and success.
