I'll have to look for licorice root. I've usually made tea of the

seeds and leaves. Anise is the main source for it, but fennel (which

used to grow wild and organic all over our place in California) also

has a smaller amount. (We used to eat steamed fennel root bulbs

sometimes, too. It's like eating a steamed onion with a subtle

licorice flavor. Amazing.)

I, too, love fennel bulbs braised and also grated raw into a salad,

wonderful stuff.

Anise (Pimpinella anisum) and fennel ( Foeniculum vulgare), although they

have a licorice flavor and are tummy settling, are not to be confused with true

Licorice. Whole different plant with many unsung virtues.

Here's a licorice sote for you Licorice: (Liquorice) (Glycyrrhiza glabra)-

What is it?
