Product information
ANISE - PIMPINELLA ANISUM
Growing Anise
Sow directly in the garden after all danger of frost has passed. Give this plant plenty of room as it will grow about 60cm tall. Thin the seedlings to about one every 40cm when they have two true leaves. The tall fern like plant will have lots of flowers if treated well.
Water and fertilize normally. This plant is originally from the Mediterranean, where it has been cultivated for hundreds of years. Pliny and Theophrastus mention the plant. Now it is cultivated widely.
The leaves, flowers, and seeds have a licorice taste and are harvested for use in flavoring breads and other foods. The seeds are harvested just before they are completely ripe. This is where the essential oils concentrate.
Anise, like licorice, can raise the blood pressure, so be cautious when using this herb. If you bake a lot of sweets, however, you may wish to grow this herb to flavor them. The seeds can be soaked in vodka and the resulting liquid used sparingly as the flavoring agent. Alternatively, you can take the seeds and dry sugar and store them together in a tightly closed container and the oils will penetrate the sugar and flavor that. You can then add the flavored sugar to your treats.
