Stoneground Aniseed

Botanical name: Pimpinella anisum

We handcraft our Stoneground Aniseed, using Organic Aniseed sourced from Egypt, to ensure purity and quality of our product.

The Aniseed is freshly stoneground, on receipt of your order, to bring out an intense and sweet aroma. Stoneground spices have a naturally uneven, earthy texture that adds a rustic mouth feel. This is immediately packed in a recyclable, amber coloured, glass jar, with an airtight induction seal, to maximise freshness of the product – you will get a strong aroma of fresh ground Aniseed when you open the jar.

Aniseed or Anise is an aromatic spice that has a warm, sweet and licorice like flavor. It is native to the Eastern Mediterranean and the Middle East. Ground Aniseed is light brown to a grayish green in colour with intense licorice-like sweet flavour. Ground Aniseed is mainly used in baking, sausage, sauce and fruit recipes. Simmer ground Aniseed with sugar and water to make Greek-inspired simple syrup for your cocktails, pair it with Cinnamon and Nutmeg in your breads and pastry dough or try it with spaghetti sauce.

Aniseed is a member of the parsley family and is related to Caraway, Cumin, Dill and Fennel. Aniseed works well in combination with Allspice, Cardamom, Cinnamon, Cloves, Cumin, Fennel, Garlic, Nutmeg, Pepper and Star Anise.
