Organic Anise Essential Oil, 100% Organic, 10 ml
Anise oil is steam distilled from the wild brown pods of the white-flowering Pimpinella anisum plant, which grows wild in Egypt. Anise seeds have a long history of use as a spice and medicine. Anise oil has a sweet, herbal, spicy, warm aroma, reminiscent of licorice. Traditionally, it has been used to add flavor to a variety of dishes, from sweets and baked goods to curries. Pimpinella anisum should not be confused with the popular star anise. It is an annual herb native to Greece and Egypt, and also cultivated in India, China, Mexico, and Spain. Anise oil is often used interchangeably with star anise oil, as both oils contain trans-anethole, which is their primary therapeutic component. The aroma of anise oil is reminiscent of licorice, similar to fennel, but sweeter. 100% Organic Anise Essential Oil Anise oil is steam distilled from the wild brown pods of the white-flowering Pimpinella anisum plant, which grows wild in Egypt.
