Whole AniseedAlpi Nature Whole Aniseed 250 g (8.8 oz)

Sweet, liquorice-like seeds

Aniseed, also called anise, is an aromatic spice with a distinctive sweet liquorice flavour. It appears in many classic recipes and is especially common in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cooking.

Baking, marinades and tea

Aniseed is a well-known baking spice, and it also suits marinades for meat and seafood as well as savoury dishes. The whole seeds can be brewed to make an aniseed tea.

Whole seeds in a 250 g pack

The seeds are gently dried to keep their natural taste and aroma, and the pack contains only anise seeds. Egypt is listed as the country of origin, and the manufacturer describes them as naturally vegan and free from gluten, additives, preservatives and flavourings.

How to use

Follow the serving directions printed on the label. The whole seeds go into baking, marinades and savoury dishes, or can be brewed as a tea.

Before you choose

These are whole aniseeds rather than star anise or ground powder, so crush or grind them if a recipe calls for it. Always read the label, warnings and directions before use.
