Healthy, because
Despite having fewer calories, fennel is one of those vegetables that are highly satisfying. The tuber, which is rich in vitamin C and potassium, contains various essential oils which have given the aromatic vegetable a firm place in folk medicine - for example as a gentle helper against intestinal cramps and colic.
Even smarter
Wholemeal breadcrumbs, which you can easily make yourself from stale wholemeal rolls with a hand grater or food processor, provide a hearty bite and a small fibre plus.
