Anise is a member of the Umbelliferae family which also includes fennel, caraway, coriander and dill, to name a few. Believed to be native to the eastern Mediterranean region and western Asia, it is now widely cultivated in southern Europe, the Mediterranean region, the Middle East, India, Russia, Mexico and Chile. Although the seed has an aroma and flavor reminiscent of licorice, the two are completely unrelated.
This Organic Anise Seed comes to us from Spain. It is used extensively to flavor liquors, cookies, cakes, fruit dishes, coleslaw, rye bread, apple pie and meats. It also makes a wonderful addition to teas. It's potent, so start with just a pinch!
