The Anise 'Pimpinella anisum' was so enjoyed by the Romans they could pay taxes with anise. The seeds and leaves are tasty and they are also useful for medicinal purposes. Anise seed has a sweet licorice flavor and is used to intensify sweetness in cakes pastries and cookies. Also either alone or combined with cinnamon or bay compliments duck pork or fish. Anise prefers a protected spot because it grows spindly and is easily damaged by wind. The soil should be fairly rich and well drained. |
