Aniseed (Pimpinella anisum) is a herbaceous plant belonging to the umbellifer family (Apiaceae). For this product, the seeds of the aniseed plant are dried and left whole.
Whole aniseed has a distinctively sweet and spicy aroma. As the seeds are whole, they retain their aroma for longer than ground aniseed.
Aniseed is widely used in both sweet and savoury dishes. It is used in bread, cakes, taai taai and aniseed milk, amongst other things. It can also be incorporated into spice blends and used to make herbal tea.
