Anise
Anise is an ancient herb with a long and storied culinary history, its seeds carrying a warm, sweet licorice flavor that has perfumed kitchens and pastry shops across the Mediterranean for thousands of years. The delicate feathery leaves are wonderful fresh in salads, while the aromatic seeds are essential in biscotti, Italian sausage, ouzo, and countless regional sweets and liqueurs. A graceful, lacy-flowered plant that grows happily in containers and herb gardens alike.
