Description

Latin Name: Pimpinella Anisum

Anise, also called aniseed or Pimpinella anisum, is a plant that hails from the same family as carrots, celery and parsley.

Anise has a distinct, licorice-like taste and is often used to add flavor to desserts and drinks.

It’s also known for its powerful health-promoting properties and acts as a natural remedy for a wide variety of ailments.

Though anise seed is used in relatively small amounts, it packs a good amount of several important micronutrients into each serving. In particular, anise seed is rich in iron, which is vital for the production of healthy blood cells in your body. It also contains a small amount of manganese, a key mineral that acts as an antioxidant and is necessary for metabolism and development.

Test-tube studies show that anise seed and its compounds possess potent antimicrobial properties that prevent infections and block the growth of fungi and bacteria.

Anise seed is thought to mimic the effects of estrogen in your body, potentially reducing symptoms of menopause.
