Anise Seed vs. Star Anise
Despite the similarities in their names, anise seed and star anise come from unrelated species. The exotic origins of star anise begin all the way in China and Vietnam, where it’s cultivated from evergreen trees. The dried fruit is then kept whole or ground into a powder for medicinal and culinary uses. It’s sometimes used to create an essential oil as well. Anise seed is produced by the Pimpinella anisum plant typically found in Egypt, the Middle East and some parts of Europe. The seeds can be used as a spice or ground up for medicinal purposes.
Uses for Anise Spices and Supplements
Both anise seed and star anise produce a familiar licorice-like flavoring that’s popular for use as a digestive aid after meals. There’s a noticeable sweet and spicy factor with anise products that goes well with desserts as an aromatic spice. Anise can also temper the flavor of bitter herbal teas. Generally, star anise has a bolder flavor compared to anise seed.
The main health benefit of star anise and anise seed is improved digestion. It’s often taken to alleviate gas, bloating, nausea, belching, abdominal cramps and upset stomach. In addition, it promotes healthy respiratory and bronchial function. While spice products can be added directly to dishes, the most common way to ingest anise for health purposes is to use the powder or whole dried fruit to create a delicious tea.
