Fennel similar spices – anise, star anise, and coriander. In 2014, India produced 60% of the world total of fennel, with China and Bulgaria as leading secondary producers (table). Many species in the family Apiaceae or Umbelliferae are superficially similar to fennel, and some, such as poison hemlock, are toxic, so it is unwise, and potentially extremely dangerous, to use any part of any of these plants as an herb or vegetable unless it can be positively identified as being edible. Dill, coriander, and caraway are similar-looking herbs, but shorter-growing than fennel, reaching only . Dill has thread-like, feathery leaves and
Flavour (particle physics) , which is − for the three charged leptons (i.e. electron, muon and tau) and + for the three associated neutrinos. Each doublet of a charged lepton and a neutrino consisting of opposite are said to constitute one generation of leptons. In addition, one defines a quantum number called weak hypercharge, , which is −1 for all left-handed leptons. Weak isospin and weak hypercharge are gauged in the Standard Model. Leptons may be assigned the six flavour quantum numbers: electron number, muon number, tau number, and corresponding numbers for the neutrinos. These are conserved in strong and electromagnetic interactions, but
