Aniseed, also known simply as anise, is a small flowering plant native to the Eastern Mediterranean and Southwest Asia. The seeds of the plant are highly aromatic and have a sweet, licorice-like flavor with hints of herbal and spicy notes. Aniseed is commonly used as a flavoring agent in culinary applications, particularly in baking and confectionery, where it adds a distinctive taste to cookies, cakes, breads, and pastries. It is also used to flavor alcoholic beverages such as ouzo, raki, and anisette.
