Aniseed herb (Pimpinella anisum) is an annual herb belonging to the parsley family. It has finely cut, feathery leaves topped with long stems of white umbel flowers. The seeds have a licorice-like flavor, making them a popular addition to a variety of dishes. They can be used in breads, cakes, and desserts for a unique flavor, or made into a tea with medicinal properties, often used to relieve asthma and bronchitis. 🌿
Once established, the young leaves can be added to soups and salads, providing a fresh, aromatic taste. The seeds are small and grey-brown, and are commonly used in Indian cuisine—often added to curry powder, and chewed after meals to freshen the breath. 🍞🌸
Important Note: Do not confuse Pimpinella anisum with the Chinese spice star anise, which comes from a tree.
Tea: Steep the seeds in hot water to make a soothing tea.
Baking: Add to breads, cakes, or cookies for a licorice flavor. 🍪
Curry Powder: Ground aniseed is often included in curry blends.
Breath Freshener: Chew the seeds after meals for breath freshening. 🌿
Planting Time: Anise seeds can be sown all year round. 🌱
Soil Preparation: Anise prefers well-drained soil enriched with organic matter. A mix of coir, sand, and perlite can provide good drainage and aeration. 🌿
Sowing Depth: Cover the seeds lightly with a thin layer of soil (roughly 1 cm deep).
Watering: Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Regular watering is essential, especially during the growing season. 💧
Temperature: Germination occurs best at a temperature range of 18-20°C (64-68°F). 🌡️
Light: Anise prefers bright light. Keep the seeds in a bright location with indirect sunlight. 🌞
Spacing: Once seedlings have developed, thin them out to avoid overcrowding. Space plants around 20-30 cm (8-12 inches) apart to allow for growth. 🌱
Pruning: Remove any dead or damaged leaves to encourage healthy growth. ✂️
Fertilization: Anise is a light feeder. Use a balanced, organic fertilizer if the soil is poor in nutrients. 🌿
Harvesting: The seeds can be harvested once the plant has flowered and the seeds have matured. Wait for the seeds to turn a grey-brown color before collecting. 🌸
