Anise

Anise is a mélange of the herbaceous plant Pimpinella anisum, whose seeds are aromatic and used to flavor foods and liqueurs. In botany it refers to the flowering plant itself, and in cooking it designates seeds or essential oils derived from it or similar species. The term also appears in spice blends and medicinal contexts, often lauded for its sweet-licorice scent and warm, aromatic profile.
