ANISEED Pimpinella anisum fruit • Liquid Herbal Extract Aniseed extract is made from the aromatic fruit of Pimpinella anisum. Although commonly called a “seed”, the part used in herbal medicine is botanically the fruit. It should not be confused with star anise (Illicium verum), which has a similar flavour but comes from an entirely different plant.Aniseed has an unmistakably sweet, highly aromatic and distinctly liquorice-like flavour. It has been used for centuries in food preparation and traditional herbal practice, particularly throughout the Mediterranean and Middle East. Much of its characteristic sweetness comes from trans-anethole, one of the naturally occurring aromatic compounds found within the fruit.
