Not to be confused with the similarly named star anise which has a much stronger flavour, anise seeds are the crushed seeds of the anise plant. This spice is widely used in Middle Eastern, Italian, German, Indian and Mexican cooking. Anise has a liquorice taste that is sweet, mildly spicy and very aromatic.

Health Benefits

Anise seeds are rich in several important minerals and antioxidants such as iron, manganese and calcium. Health benefits are said to include lowering blood pressure, preventing the growth of bacteria and reducing inflammation.
