Aniseed (100g)
Aniseed, also known as anise, is a versatile and flavorful spice widely used in the production of alcoholic beverages such as absinthe, ouzo, and pastis. This aromatic seed is harvested from the Pimpinella anisum plant, a member of the parsley family, and has a distinct sweet and licorice-like taste.
Aniseed is an essential ingredient in the production of absinthe, a green, anise-flavored spirit that originated in Switzerland in the late 18th century. It is also used in the production of ouzo, a clear, anise-flavored aperitif from Greece, and pastis, a similar drink popular in France.
Aniseed is a versatile spice that can also be used in cooking and baking to add flavor to dishes such as cakes, cookies, and bread. It is also commonly used to make herbal teas and can be taken as a natural remedy for digestive problems.
