The best way to prepare fennel is to slice off the rootlevel with the base of the fennel globe, remove any damaged or unsightly stalks, cut the tops off about 2 or 3 inches above the top of the globe, slice the globe in half lengthways and wash away any dirt in cold water. Your fennel is then ready for cooking.
If you have a bulb that is labeled an anise bulb, it is likely fennel. Anise has seeds. However, it does taste similar to fennel and in some areas fennel bulbs are called anise bulbs. You slice the anise bulb up to use in recipes where you want the flavor. Cut the root part off and throw it away and remove the fronds before slicing, or chopping the bulb.
Fennel seeds do come from the fennel plant. The bulbs, foliage, and seeds of the fennel plant can be eaten.
