Looking for a licorice flavour that’s sweet, mildly spicy and very aromatic? Introducing Whole Aniseed! Fun fact: Anise is super soluble in alcohol but only slightly soluble in water…
Bake into sweet and savoury breads, cakes and biscuits or infuse in hot water and drink as an effective digestive tea. Try something new by coating in sugar and eat at the end of a meal. Crush down these high-quality seeds, sprinkle into homemade sausages, burgers, and roasts where you wish to impart a mild anise flavour (delish!).
Aniseed is a culinary spice that has been highly valued since ancient times. Aniseed grows in many warm places around the world. Although it is used for its distinct flavour in desserts and drinks, it is also used as a natural remedy for its medicinal properties.
