Anise Seed Powder is a botanical extract from the seeds of Pimpinella anisum L. The light yellowish brown powder originates in Turkey. The process of heating anise in baked goods releases compounds that act as very mild stimulants. The anethole released in grinding and baking slows the decay of the baked goods that otherwise might result from fungi or molds. Anise is also used to flavor many herbal medicines.
