Anise Seed (Pimpinella anisum)
Fun fact: In 1619, it was decreed by law from the Virginia
Assembly that each family plant at least six anise seeds a
year.
From the sublime to the fantastic, Anise Seed has
experienced a multitude of uses during the course of history. It
was used to perfume the clothing of King Edward IV, as a food
flavoring during the Middle Ages, and to fund repairs on the
London Bridge, for which a special tax was added to the sale of
anise seed. Pliny the Elder, author of the first encyclopedia,
claimed its seeds had the power to prevent bad dreams if placed
beneath the sleeper's pillow. Anise seed (or aniseed) is a
member of the parsley family, and its flavor resembles licorice.
Used medicinally since prehistoric times, anise seed remains a
staple in aromatherapy.
