Anise is an annual herb that grows from 0.3 to 0.6 meters and is widely cultivated around the world. It has yellow flowers, compound umbels, and feather-shaped leaves. The brown-green seeds are used in food or medicine and are harvested when ripe in autumn. Anise has a scent reminiscent of anethole and a sweet aromatic flavor resembling licorice, which has led to the traditional use of anise oils in licorice candy.
Anise has a history of use as a spice and fragrance. It is widely used as a flavoring in all food categories, including alcoholic beverages, wines, dairy products, gelatin, desserts, meats, and confectionery. Sold as a spice, the seeds are used as a breath freshener. The essential oil is used medicinally as well as in perfumes, soaps, and sachets.
