Aniseeds (Pimpinella anisum) are a classic aromatic spice with a naturally sweet, liquorice-like flavour. These whole seeds are commonly used in baking, cooking, liqueur-style infusions, and herbal tea blends. When gently crushed, they release their essential oils for a fuller aroma and a warmer, sweeter cup. This is a single-ingredient culinary spice with no added fillers or flavouring.

This product is certified: Vegan and Food Grade.
