Whole Aniseed
$2.50/oz
Aniseed is a warm liquorice-tasting seed that is harvested from an annual plant with flat, feathery leaves and white, late summer blooming flower heads. Not to be confused with star anise, which is harvested from a tree that is native to China. Aniseed is native to the Middle East and the Romans used it in little cakes that they ate at the end of their banquets.
