Why is fennel so unpopular in the south?

1. The editor thinks it may be like this. The taste of southerners is light and single, and fennel itself has a special smell, so many southerners find it difficult to accept it, just like the root of Zhejiang in the south. Many northerners find it difficult to accept the same.

2. Fennel is usually used to make steamed buns, fried dough sticks or dumplings, which are delicious. Dumplings, fried dough sticks and steamed buns are also staple foods in the north and are eaten more. Southerners mainly eat rice, and eat less steamed buns and dumplings, so they naturally have less exposure to fennel. Some people would say, can't it be fried and eaten? Fennel really doesn't taste good when fried. Maybe this has something to do with the eating habits of the north and the south. In fact, many quick-frozen dumplings now also have fennel fillings.

3. Furthermore, fennel vegetables taste relatively dry and have very low water content, which is not in line with southern eating habits. Southerners like more watery vegetables, such as lettuce, lettuce, cabbage and other vegetables. Moreover, fennel is not suitable for stir-frying, so it is not popular in the south.
