Anise Seed

Available from World Spice Merchants when we last checked. Sold from the shop’s own store; the price there is the one that counts.

This small seed has a wonderful sweetness and hints of licorice flavors. Anise can be ground for breads and curries, but is most famous for traditional biscotti and other Italian pastries. We find that when added to tomato dishes, anise seed provides a perfect balance to the acidity.
