Description
Aniseed comes from the anise plant (Pimpinella anisum), an umbelliferous plant that has been cultivated around the Mediterranean since ancient times. The small, aromatic seeds are known for their warm, sweet-spicy aroma, reminiscent of fennel and star anise, but with a milder, fresher tone.
Aniseed plays an important role in many European and Middle Eastern cuisines. It is used in cakes, bread and traditional drinks, as well as in herbal infusions and spice blends. Its rich aroma and flavour make aniseed a popular ingredient for adding a soft, recognisable spiciness to teas and blends.
Our organic aniseed is carefully dried to preserve its natural aromas and is suitable for both culinary applications and herbal infusions — pure, combined with other spices or as a subtle flavouring.
