Fennel Bachata

Bachata is a medium-maturing fennel variety, growing to 50–70 cm in height and featuring lacy feathery leaves. The head is dense, weighing 100–150 g, and stands out for its unique flavor with an anise aroma, making it popular as a spice and aromatic plant.

The variety is characterized by high tolerance to growing conditions: it is resistant to lodging, shattering, and drought, as well as good winter hardiness. Thanks to these properties, Bachata is easily cultivated in various climatic zones, making it attractive for farmers.

Bachata is widely used as an antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, choleretic, and diuretic agent. Its consumption promotes improved digestion and supports liver health. The essential oil of the variety contains about 5.5% oil, of which anethole constitutes approximately 62%, confirming its therapeutic properties.

The variety is also suitable for mechanical harvesting due to its resistance to pests and low susceptibility to diseases. This makes Bachata an economically viable choice for both commercial production and home gardening.
