What from I have read, Florence fennel is mainly used as a vegetable(the bulb) and common fennel is grown for the seed. Obviously, during the time it takes to produce seed, the bulb would become more woody, but assuming that one did not harvest Florence fennel for the bulb, would the seed be of the same flavor, nutritional value, and quantity as the seed from common fennel? It would seem to me to be the same, but since I haven't grown it, I thought I would make sure I wasn't missing something.
