What it is
Anise is a flowering plant native to the eastern Mediterranean and Southwest Asia. Its small, oval seeds have a strong, licorice-like flavor and aroma. The seeds are typically harvested and dried for use as a spice.
Why it's used
Anise is primarily used as a flavoring agent in a wide variety of foods. Its distinct taste makes it popular in baked goods, confectionery, and liqueurs. It is also used in savory dishes, particularly in some ethnic cuisines, and as a component in spice blends.
Health notes
Anise is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food flavoring. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated anise and its components. While generally considered safe in amounts typically found in food, some studies have explored potential health effects, though evidence is mixed and not conclusive for significant health impacts at normal consumption levels.
Allergen info
Anise is not one of the nine major allergens designated by the FDA. It does not contain gluten.
