About Anise 

Anise Seed (Pimpinella anisum)



Fun fact: In 1619, it was decreed by law from the Virginia Assembly that each 
family plant at least six anise seeds a year. 
From the sublime to the fantastic, Anise Seed has experienced a multitude 
of uses during the course of history. It was used to perfume the clothing of 
King Edward IV, as a food flavoring during the Middle Ages, and to fund repairs 
on the London Bridge, for which a special tax was added to the sale of anise 
seed. Pliny the Elder, author of the first encyclopedia, claimed its seeds had 
the power to prevent bad dreams if placed beneath the sleeper's pillow. Anise 
seed (or aniseed) is a member of the parsley family, and its flavor resembles 
licorice. Used medicinally since prehistoric times, anise seed remains a staple 
in aromatherapy.
