Anise Seeds

Anise Seed is the dried seed of Pimpinella anisum, long used in Mediterranean, Middle Eastern and South Asian cuisines for its sweet, licorice-like flavor; it appears whole, crushed or ground and is used in breads, spice blends, teas and confections. It is notably high in fiber, providing about 14.6g per 100 g, and also supplies plant protein, healthy unsaturated fats and volatile oils (such as anethole) that contribute its characteristic aroma. Concentrated in nutrients and flavor, it serves as a flavorful way to add fiber and minerals to dishes and is traditionally used to aid digestion and freshen breath.
