Anise |
||
 |
Origin: | Southern Mediterranean |
| Description: | Not to be confused with “Star Anise” (which is not even a cousin of anise), anise seeds have a very strong flavor and an aromatic, penetrating sweetness that is warming and pervasive. There is some similarity to the flavor of fennel, as both contain the same oil, anethol, and anise is often used in the same way. |
|
| Applications: | In Western cuisine, anise is mainly used for bread, cakes, and cookies but in Indian cuisine, anise is used in soups and stews. Try adding a little anise to your sauces and marinades for an interesting twist. | |
