Aniseeds are small, oval, and greenish-brown seeds known for their distinct sweet, licorice-like flavor and aromatic qualities. These versatile seeds are commonly used in both culinary and medicinal applications. In cooking, aniseeds enhance the taste of baked goods such as cookies and bread, and are used to flavor alcoholic beverages like absinthe, ouzo, and sambuca. They also play a key role in savory dishes, particularly in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisines.
Beyond their culinary uses, aniseeds are valued for their carminative properties, which aid digestion, and their ability to alleviate coughs and improve respiratory health. They are often included in traditional remedies for various ailments, making them a staple in both the kitchen and natural medicine.
