Regal Anise Seed is a gray-brown oval
seed from Pimpinella anisum, a plant in
the parsley family. The anise seed is
related to caraway, dill, cumin, and fennel.
Anise seed has the smell and taste of
licorice, but is not from the European plant
whose roots are the source of true licorice.
Europeans use anise in cakes, cookies,
and sweet breads. In the Middle East and
India, it is used in soups and stews. Add
Regal Anise Seed to seafood for a
wonderful Mediterranean flavor. Make a
quick sauce for grilled fish by combining
melted butter, toasted anise seed, lemon
juice, and minced green onion. To add
special flavor and texture to baked goods,
brush rolls or sugar cookies with a beaten
egg white and sprinkle with anise seeds
before baking. Sold in a 7 oz. bottle.
