Regal Anise Seeds - 7 oz. - 12/Case

Light brown in color and similar in flavor to fennel seeds, these Regal anise seeds have a spicy licorice taste and aroma. Like whole star anise, anise seed gets its distinctive licorice taste from a chemical compound called anethole. However, the two are not related botanically, as star anise is a member of the Magnolia family. Anise seed is the dried ripe fruit of the herb Pimpinella anisum. It is popularly found in black jelly beans and ethnic candies and confections.

Regal anise seed is great for use in meat, fish, and egg dishes. Add Regal Anise Seed to seafood for a wonderful Mediterranean flavor.
