Not only is fennel delicious, but it’s also loaded with health benefits. It contains a phytonutrient called anethole, which has been shown in studies to be an anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer agent. Fennel is also a good source of folate and potassium. In India, fennel seeds are commonly eaten after meals to freshen breath and improve digestion.

Grab some milk and cream and start making this homemade caramelized fennel and orange ice cream! We know that you’ll love it just as much as we do!

Fennel Orange Ice Cream notes:

-The bulb, stalks, and leaves of fennel are all edible. Save the feathery green leaves to use as herbs in your other dishes!
