What is Anise?

Anise is known for its aromatic seeds, which are used for cooking and herbal medicine. It's a flowering plant with leaves that taste similar to licorice, fennel, or tarragon. You may be familiar with the anise flavor if you've had absinthe, as anise seeds are the basis for this famous alcoholic beverage.

Health Benefits of Anise

Anise has a history of being used as a spice and a fragrance. Uses range from treatment of digestive problems to toothaches. It helps breathing, relieves pain, and eases thirst. Bloated? Try consuming a little anise. It has also been used to treat asthma, bronchitis, and coughs. 

Ways to Consume Anise

Anise is often added to licorice-flavored foods and treats, but is also wonderful when paired with dairy products, gelatins, puddings, meats, and candies. It is commonly used as a spice, but the seeds can be used as a breath freshener.
